"Australia has grown over the last couple of centuries with many different races putting their nose to the grindstone in an effort to make this a better country"
There you have it, race is an entirely different thing from culture. Yes, different races came to this country and adopted a common culture of hard work, self reliance and broader community spirit. Like the other poster said, a melting pot.
Listen to the language, what we have now is separate 'communities'... gay community, indian communities, etc etc rather than people who are all just a little bit different from one another in a broader inclusive community. The language is devised to divide.
Race is different to religion which is different to culture.
I come from Europe, and the answer is NO, categorically.
