yeah but you wouldn't describe an american of a german or norwegian descent as "germans and norwegians hate mexicans", would you? so i don't know why cybargs is talking about british and european-descended australians as "brits and euros hate greeks". no. that's not how the identity politics or ideology goes at all. it's new australian settlers hating greeks. the whole reason they hate greeks is because they view themselves as new entitled keepers of australia. as australians.

australians, who hate british people and pommies, identifying themselves as british in order to racially discriminate against greeks? when british people natively have never had a racial hatred against greeks? sounds great. please tell me more.

I was talking about the British and Euro immigrants HATING on the greek immigrants. jesus christ.
my point is, their new status as australians, and their ideological position of hating newcomers, shows their identity politics as being resolutely AUSSIE, not BRITISH or EURO. british or euro descent, maybe, but that racism has nothing to do with 'britishness' or 'europeanness'. it's to do with 'australians' hating a new generation/batch of immigrants. your wording sucks.
Every but you knew what he was saying, even Jay.

And it's got nothing to do with racism, purely conservatism. 'They' (Being the new influx immigration) are different so we don't want them here. Give it a generation or 2 and they'll be assimilated into society and there will be a new immigrant to hate on.

i can't say i've read many books on the racial animosity of a barren convict rock, no. it's seems rather inconsequential to me. sorry i don't have a nuanced understanding of british-descended australians hating greek-descended australians. it doesn't bother british people much. i was just trying to qualify the term "brits and euros hated greeks" with the nuance that they are technically "british-australians" now. their hatred arises out of a possessiveness over australia, not out of britishness. it's a necessary nuance, no?

Its not that Australia is short of space, its more that many of them don't make much effort to assimilate, but you knew that right?

wogs speak funny.

trollbert, it's not easy to assimilate when you're marginalized as a group now is it? people at my uni bitch about too many asians (even the asian students ironically).

Sure, but to be accepted you have to throw yourself into the culture, not hide away in a ghetto.

lol why does 'possessiveness' = shortness of space? i meant it in terms of cultural identity and mono-culture/hegemony/homogeneity.

anyway it was a simple mistake: i only saw cybargs' post on the fly whilst scrolling through the 2-3 pages i missed overnight, looking mostly for your responses, dilbert. if he had nuanced his post and mentioned "australians" once, as in "british australians" rather than "brits and euros", then i wouldn't have wondered wtf he was talking about. the racism against greek immigrants in australia strikes me as a racism borne out of british immigrants having some small stake in their new identity as "australians". even if that is a particular brand of white-euro australian (convict pride? neat). i still wouldn't use the term "brits and euros" hating "greeks", because really by that stage they are settled "british australians" hating a new incoming load of greek migrants. again, it's just a little nuance.

Australian Asians are becoming quite anti-immigrant, as Cybargs pointed out, its hardly an exclusively British thing.

No, because they aren't exaclty mainstream Australian society, although I did have a dip off the jetty with a bunch of them when it was near 50C.

when whites first arrived in australia, they weren't the mainstream society. they didn't make a giant effort to integrate with the natives.

it's hardly unsurprising that incoming greeks adopted the same insular, diaspora mentality.

Incoming whites didn't want to assimilate with the natives, as was the case for the rest of the Empire.

Its a little different now, the Greeks aren't exactly landing in longboats, they're here for the jobs and the lifestyle. If they choose not to integrate they won't be liked, simple.

No, they forced the Aboriginal people to become assimilated and at one point tried to absorb their culture by mixing their blood into mainstream white society, hence the Stolen Generations from around 1860 up to 1960 and in some places right up to the 1970s.
