The entire west has shrunk away from asserting it's own culture

Indeed

As Douglas Murray says, the west won't even take it's own side in an argument

I think this is a bit of a red herring though, for a culture to 'integrate into australia' it must dissolve into australian culture. I think this whole "the same, but different" thing doesn't really work

Many second generation immigrants from china, india, etc are as aussie as anything. Many are also barely changed from their parents culture

Migrants need to stop thinking of themselves as *X*-Australians, and start thinking of themselves as Australians first.

exactly

they should remember their convict heritage

I mean even consider the term ABC - australian born chinese

@Eric *Ill fkn shank you then take ur booty, cunt*

Imaigne "Chinese born Australian"

preposterous

ok

<:uwu_wut_FB:625182914497478666>

they're trying to have it both ways, that their race and ethnicity are immutable and forever tied to the nation of China

sounds pretty gay

but us whites are just like, whatever man

p sure straya got a lot of chinese migrants due to its relatively close position

no it's because of our incredibly loose immigration

If you told an Aussie in a pub that he’s a Englishman first, he’d fkn glass you.

doesn't really matter if it's a 12 hour flight of 24 hour flight

Australia isn't really that close to china

there aren't millions of chinese in pretty much any other nearby country

Ack choo leee

not in korea, not in russia, not in vietnam, not in india

Thailand is full of them

but somehow, australia

granted thailand and malaysia have signifiant historical chinese populations

one of my best friends is chinese thai for instance

wtf

bit she's thai, she's just han by lineage

have you got the virus yet?

Thailand is actually a really good example of integration.
My wife is Thai.

We did the ancestry dna thing, turns out she’s half Thai, 1/4 Chinese, 1/4 Khmer.
She doesn’t consider herself anything but Thai.
