Japan and China are not boring, they have created their very distinct original cultures with religion, philosophy, music etc.
White Australia however is just another country of British character, Australians might as well be Canadians or US-Americans. The only difference is they drive the other way round I guess there is a reason why so many Australians, who get the chance, move to Britain or North America, it is more or less the same culture.

you're making blanket racial remarks and calling other peoples intents racist. It's funny.

I'm just going to tell you Aussie's who give a dam about your country that you guys are living in the equivalent of America in 1970 from a demographic perspective. With your relatively low population and lack of arable land I'm sure you all know it'll take probably 2 generations to completely transform what you currently have into a third world cesspit. Don't vote for the Labour party and you'll get less morons who want to be part of a 'global' society.

As far as Neuling goes, they obviously hate anything considered white--or god forbid WASPY--and has completely bought into Marxist nonsense. I'm sure if Neuling had their way, they'd personally kill everybody they define as a 'racist', which would of course be people they consider white. They're probably some 30 year old adult, jobless and living in mommy's basement. And what are you going to call me? A 'racist'? Such meaningless trite in this day and age!

I can assure you, it is difficult to migrate to this country.

A thirdworld cesspit in 2 generations . yeah. ok.

Its Liberals who like to twist and re-write history. The Aborigines numbered about 3/4 of a million when the English/Europeans arrived. Today there is half a million Aborigines. Their population may have diminished a bit but in no way was that genocide. That's a myth.
I'm not surprised you're revealing your White Supremacist agenda. No scientific test ever done has shown one race is more intelligent than another. Blacks or aborigines who receive the same education as whites are just as intelligent as them.

No, there was a university professor who tried releasing a whole series of research journals claiming the IQ thing a few years ago. I'll see if I can find it.

*edit* back

Anti racist groups said the broadcaster was giving legitimacy to discredited “pseudo science” which was “irresponsible”.
The first programme, Race: Science's Last Taboo, will see Rageh Omaar, a presenter on the arabic news channel Al-Jazeera, question scientists about Nobel Prize winning James Watson's claims that black people are less intelligent than other races.

In the documentary Psychology professor Richard Lynn from the University of Ulster will say there is a global "league table", using evidence from IQ tests, to claim that intelligence is linked to race, with north-east Asians in the top tier and Australian aborigines at the bottom. He says on the programme that African IQs “don’t rise up to the same level as Europeans”.
British born psychology professor J Philippe Rushton is also interviewed on the programme.
He claims the differences between black and white and East Asian brains is due to general intelligence.
He believes that while women have smaller brain sizes as men, they are just as intelligent as men, but that black people have smaller brain sizes than white people but are not as intelligent as white people.

Oh really? What is this original Australian culture you speak of? Australia is still a white country whether you like it or not, its up to us who comes here. This is how every country works. All nations or tribes have been conquered through out history whether it was 1000 years ago or only a few hundred ago. If you're gonna play this game then you should apply it to Japan, China, Iran, Israel, etc. and tell them that their cultures dont matter. See how far you get.

Japan's culture has heavy influences from the Chinese and same goes with the Koreans. There are a lot of similarities between them. You know Koreans may as well be Japanese and vica versa by your logic. Australia was once heavily influenced by the British but our countries are not the same character today.

White Supremacist agenda? I'm pointing out what science has said all along. Something that was once even common sense. No amount of political correctness can hide the facts. Black Africans were never under the same genetic pressures as the people in Eurasia were. IQ test, psychometric testing and various other tests done over 100 years have shown that different races have developed different levels of intelligence. Its no surprise to me that Western and North Asian societies are the most advanced. Genetics and culture go hand-in-hand. You really believe that Japanese culture would continue on if Japan's population were to be replaced by blacks and Australian Aborigines? C'mon lets not kid ourselves. If you can show evidence of blacks and Aborigines being equally intelligent then I would like to see it.

Many Australians who live and work overseas go to Britain or North America purely out of convenience, ie as it another English speaking country-ie don't have to learn a new language - and to experience a different culture as well as travel.
I never did it, but know plenty who have.
Australia has digressed enough away from British culture to be considered a poor cousin to it.
I for one like multiculturism, and am a republican not a monarchist, Irish Catholic (3rd generation - had relatives in the clergy), and don't have any affinity with Britain.
