I have never felt like an immigrant challenged my australian identity
i do not have scary muslims or any other group beating down my door
nor do i see them as a threat to the australian way of life
where is this threat in reality? what are you really scared of? change? we cannot be insulated from the rest of the world
my concern when you start labelling people into such 'brands' is that you de humanise them which then allows extremists to come up with all sorts of rubbish
there have been plenty of examples in history of minorities being singled out as the cause of a nations problems- it is all too easy, too ignorant , too stupid and too effective way of whipping up unjust hysteria
the'wogs' of yesteryear we confronted with the same attitiudes- as were the irish, the vietnamese, the eastern europeans- but they all assimilated and now considered a part of australian culture
