Q&Q

The problem with having such a multicultural society in Australia is that everyone treats all racial groups as Australians.

The Arabs, the Lebanese, the Italians, the Greeks, the Asians; they say that they don’t want to be ‘marginalised’, but unless they are treated differently they will continue to feel marginalised.

Let me explain:

I’ll use a current example. Certain cartoons are made about the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and an uproar is created. Violence and riots; the Muslim people cry “desecration!” and one says “you would act the same if Jesus Christ was treated the same!”

…Five minutes later I change channels to watch Family Guy making ‘Passion of the Christ 2: Crucify This’ (let he who is without sin KICK THE FIRST ASS!) lol and I have a chuckle; and I’m a very religious guy!

In our culture we take the piss out of ourselves, in other cultures they don’t. Now while this is just an example, I think you see where I’m going. Different rules must apply with groups in society for peace to be attained.

But we must remember, not all migrants of Australia are disgruntled. 75% of all migrants assimilate perfectly well into Australian life! So should we set new rules for them? They who want to be Australian? That IS marginalisation!


…well don’t expect me to give you an answer; I just thought id show the paradoxical nature of the multicultural debate and let it stew in its own juices…:D
