If you were to try to convince me a 2:1 immigrant to local birth ratio here in Australia is a net good for the country, you’re first going to have to convince me your a reasonable person to have a conversation with.
If you jump straight in with claims against me that I’m -ist and -ic that’s going to be more difficult.
- skulk 5mo agoHuh? So more nonwhite people is a net negative for Australia? How isn't this just bald faced racism?
- caminante 5mo agoHere you are again [0], unable to represent comments in good faith. Nobody said "non-white" and it isn't even implied because a significant proportion -- 35-40% of Australian Permanent Residents (US green card equivalent) -- come from EU/"White" countries. The suggestions above are consistent with my request for you to review the HN comment guidelines. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48252227 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48252227
- skulk 5mo agoComplaining about 2:1 immigrant to local birth rate has absolutely nothing to do with long-time permanent residents (who are locals). It's clearly a fear that white culture is being overrun by brown/chinese people. Your comments degrade the discourse at least as much as you think mine do.
- caminante 5mo ago> Complaining about 2:1 immigrant to local birth rate has absolutely nothing to do with long-time permanent residents (who are locals) Wrong again. They're locals and overseas-born immigrants.
