Diversity and Hypocrisy?
A good point.

Indians in Australia
Yes, but only for good brains that can emulsify the Australian culture with their own. Australian multiculturalism needs a breather. We must resist the creation of an underclass of uncultured ghettoic communities who may be hardworking but have no sense of what multiculturalism is about.

Wounding Multiculturalism
#AustralianMulticulturalism suffers another wound. This is one way to damage the success story Australia has been since the dismantling of the White Australia policy in the 1970s. This is precisely what #AlGrassby warned about, even as he navigated the new policy of #Multiculturalism through the political shoals of those times.

MiIndians in Australia
This is a classic example of total misunderstanding by the 'locals' and the 'incomers' about the objectives of multiculturalism and of the sheer recklessness in its implementation.

They openly gloat about demographic change as though it’s some great national achievement. They point to Indian families filling private schools, Indian buyers snapping up “substantial houses” in new suburbs, entire communities where one-third of residents are from the subcontinent, jobs across every sector being “filled by Indian migrants”.
But what’s actually being celebrated here? It’s not opportunity for Australians, it’s displacement of Australians.

Debate Now, not Later
It is good that the debate on #Multiculturalism in Australia is coming to a head now rather than later, when respective positions might become so solidified as to make compromises very difficult. Or when society is fraying, as in Europe.

John Howard has made clear the Liberal Party hates migrants after launching a racist attack on #SkyAfterDark saying Australia is making a “mistake” by “emphasising the tribalism of multiculturalism” Says migrants should forget their culture, focus on “assimilation” #RacistLNP

Indians in Australia
This is precisely the message I attempt to convey to Indians at intercultural and multicultural forums in Australia. They do not understand that their public practices and behaviours, as this gentleman is pointing in the context of America, are way out of sync with Australian ways and thinking. Multiculturalism is a two-way street. Indians in Australia and New Zealand are (rightly) perceived as selfish 'takers', not 'givers'. And, still, so many do not understand why they are the most disliked ethnic community in both countries.
I write this as one of Indian heritage who has lived in Australia nearly seventy years. I know how the perception of me on the Australian street has changed since this mob of uncultured and self-centred Indians started to migrate here in 2000.
I am still accepted, but with suspicion and a tinge of contempt. And dislike.

Ugly Indians Abroad
I am not surprised at all. For over seven years, my articles on Indians in Australia have not found any taker because of the fear of opening the Pandora's box of the sacrosanct Multiculturalism.
Anecdotally, South Asians are the most disliked ethnic community in Australia and New Zealand. I should know because, after 65 wonderful years with Australians, who always had a soft spot for India, I am now treated with caution tinged with contempt.

Massive protests against immigrants, especially Indians, in Australia.
They're treating Indians the way Indian RW treats Bangladeshi immigrants & Rohingyas.

Are they Australians?
#Australian_Multiculturalism empowers immigrants to preserve and celebrate their heritage. But they must also learn to appreciate and reciprocate their host's cultural and political heritage. How many of these #Indian_Australians celebrated #AustraliaDay? Or even know about the significance of #ANZAC Day? #Multiculturalism, which, in effect, replaced the #White_Australia policy in the 1970s, must not become a one-way street.

From Mumbai to Melbourne, the spirit of India 🇮🇳 flies high! The Australian Indian community in Melbourne came together with pride to celebrate India's 79th #IndependenceDay. Wonderful to see Indian actor #AamirKhan join the community at Federation Square for the flag raising.

Perils of Multiculturalism?
Multiculturalism has reached a stage where its primary objective of promoting the acceptance of 'the other' is now being undermined.

This is how it all starts - reasons for subliminal dislike of Muslims all
the way to blatant Islamophobia. Catherine compromises by wearing (a
constraining) garb, but the Muslim fellow does not 'return' that
compromise. What is wrong with shaking hands with a woman? When will
such intolerant people stop being discriminatory and learn that it can not
be a one way street any longer; it is not the 14th Century.

UK: Catherine, the Princess of Wales, is now required to wear an Islamic Hijab and Muslim men are permitted to refuse to shake her hand. Britain has been conquered.

Use Masks, Lose Credibility
Most of these marchers in Sydney, presumably Hamas supporters, do not have the courage of their convictions to show their faces. Their cause loses credibility.

Palestinian Protests
If this is so, it is an extraordinary warning. It defies the central tenet of multiculturalism - live and let live. Instead, pro-Palestinian protestors, like any others for any cause, must be warned against any aggressive or other anti-social behaviour at their rallies - as…

Australian police have tonight warned Australian Jews not to go near the Sydney Opera House, Town Hall and Central Business District. Let that sink in for a second. We are supposed to be a democratic, multicultural country
