Now the Australians are protesting

Yes true. I know they will never change. They have not changed a thing every time someone has called them out but i would like to think that other posters will not get swayed by their misinformation and actually believe in what they say.

You’re wasting your breath with the MN Islamophobes.

It’s pathetic isn’t it. Also so childish. “Anything bad in Australia is nothing to do with us - it’s the fault of a power that has not ruled us in years but anything good is just us but nothing to do with the power that ruled years ago.”

Pathetic! I think they are triggered because Australia likes to pretend it is not like Europeans or Yanks when it comes to racism.

To all the posters worried about Muslim no go areas, I am a British Muslim and saw the world change after 9/11 towards Muslim people.
I grew up in a very diverse area and have many, many friends from different races including white British people.
I am thankful that i already had white friends who knew i did not represent the terrorists yet i still saw the difference in attitude from many other people that i came across after.
It made me wary as i saw people treat me (and other muslims) differently and in a more hostile way so i can see why people stick to people they know best or find safest.
Every race and religion have their fair share of racists etc, but i like to think that the majority of people can see past this and hopefully live and work and go past each other in a civilised and friendly way so i do not think most areas are actually no go areas.

31.5% of Australia's population was born overseas as of June 2024 - so if you are correct that Australia is the most racist country in the world - they either become racist when they moved to Australia (something in the sunlight maybe? Or they were racist in their country of origin too. Or are you only counting white Australians as Australians which makes you pretty damn racists.

You won’t like Australia then. We have 30% overseas born here, compared to the UK’s 17%! 50% of the population here has at least one parent born overseas too.

To be fair if the British are fed up with immigration they need to have large families to correct the demographics of an aging population and a smaller young tax base of skilled workers to pay for the essential services. However we are a free society and many women today do not personally want big families. That’s why even the Conservatives couldn’t turn off the immigration tap. Immigrants are on average younger and more skilled than the resident population.

I predict if Reform gets into government, they will dramatically reduce permanent immigration but go with temporary visas, which will allow businesses to bring in large numbers of overseas workers. That’s what the previous “stop the boats!” Government did in Australia. It was their slogan actually and the British have borrowed it. Temporary workers had the effect of reducing wages, because they were put on contracts paying less.

This post makes me laugh!!
Seriously, look at all your posts on this thread only, never mind all the other threads i have encountered you on.
You have had enough of being called racist?

Yes good to have an independent attitude. Keep going with it. Whether Australia has good or bad parts is entirely down to Australians, not the British. Time to really move on.

Before you reply to me I urge you to walk and use public transport through sparkhill, birmingham. It is true. Even though I'm perceived as white, my grandparents came from another country. So I'm not anti anyone.

Ah, so Sparkhill and Bordesley Green are budding examples of white people being welcomed with open arms. I taught in a college in Bordesley Green - sexism was rife but a different thread. Aside from also being born in Brum, my teaching experience qualifies me to discuss, while avoiding the lazy accusation of Islamophobia.

LOL!!

I am literally a born and bred Brummie. And have only lived in inner city areas.

I lived for years in Perry Barr which has a huge muslim population and apart from our neighbour leaving out food for birds we had no issues.

There are no Muslim only areas in the UK.

Your repeated racism and Islamophobia and commenting on cities you are clearly ignorant of bores me.

We’re done here.

Also, things like trans rights (I won't linger on that as I have my own views) are more 'progressive' than the UK

The Australian view on women is anything but progressive (no surprise whatsoever).

Australia has ruled, as you said that anyone who says they are a woman, is a woman.

So ‘women’ as a sex cease to exist because men can be women, apparently. The opposite ruling to the Supreme Court in the UK who confirmed (😶) that yes biological sex is real and biological sex matters. Thank god.

I support 💯 % all women in Australia campaigning to overturn the original ruling.

True, as we've been saying for a long time. It's our more independent attitude that has enabled us to cast aside a lot of the more regrettable aspects of British culture, such as the racism that used to be as common here as it still is in the old country.

You clearly haven’t got rid of trying to pass the buck. Time to move on.

So racism in modern Australian, conducted by people of diverse origins (there were people on the march who were recent migrants and others who claimed to be Australian of Greek, Lebanese, Italian etc descent) their racism is all due to “The British”.

😂

No just take responsibility for your country instead. No ‘remnants’. It’s Australians who are accountable.

The British are now saying they've had enough of being called racists, when they share their concerns about mass immigration.

Then you don't know the changing culture of Birmingham, for instance.

That is not my experience. The stolen generation persisted well into the twentieth century long after Federation. No one that I have ever encountered is blaming the British for that.

However it cannot be denied that colonization of Australia occurred under British rule.

But also many many other immigrants in Australia are also racist. British and Australians don’t have the monopoly on that.

Many Australians now are the descendants of those “Brits”.

That's right, and the remnants of racism that linger in Australia are part of our British heritage. But we're doing a good job of overcoming such negative attitudes, while the British themselves still appear to be struggling.

So none.

Which is what I said.

Err, because we are discussing racism.

Why are you bringing posters race into things? Take your racism elsewhere. I am an Australian so that’s why I am questioning her claims.

Not formally, no.

There is no area in the UK that is for muslims only. Not one.
