Yeah, then we can go back to talking about the ill temper of the Celt and how they are given to alcoholism, and worry about the papists growing influence.
The White Australia Policy ?
Resource allocation and identity are the two key issues in xenophobia.
A country made up of multiple races is fine, but this always tends to degenerate into multi-culturalism. It doesn't matter if you're in the most cosmopolitan, egalitarian, free-thinking, left wing part of New York - people mix with their own almost always. It doesn't have to be this way, but just observe because it's very plain to see.
So the modern way appears to be "BYO culture and reject the local culture", and that includes language, special dress, religion, food and activities. The more competing cultures you have, the less resources there are for everyone. Because under Australian law all cultures, religions and creeds are equal. So it's a matter of dividing and dividing until resources dwindle. Catering for 50 different languages and cultural activities and standards/norms/expectations and laws (in the case of some Muslims) is unworkable.
Then there's national identity and the sense of community and belonging.
What's the answer?
A multitude of problems were avoided by having that policy - that's undeniable - but it's not a mature solution. People like a bit of a mix, but they don't want to lose Australian identity or have resources directed into non-Australian cultural directives that are vastly different to ours.
If a local council has $1 mill to spend on a sporting complex, will they update the football/netball courts or build a badminton and table tennis centre? When Chinese outnumber Australians, have a guess what happens. This is one tiny example of how resource allocation gets put under ever increasing stress by multi-culturalism.

As George Munster observed about NY... the new arrivals work hard at breaking down barriers in front of them; and just as quickly rebuild barriers behind them.
Interesting quote, (and disturbing and honest). Explains all the Mexicans who voted for Trump. None of the media leftists figured on that happening. They'd prefer to blame Trump's win on "uneducated, angry white males with missing teeth, spittoons and girlfriends called Darlene" - what they would call "trash". The Lefties like to fool themselves and pretend that everyone is equal... except for the trash people of middle America who are subhuman.

I didn't realise Mexicans could vote.
The Hispanics (stupid name btw, unless we call Chief Sitting Bull "English") are either poor, brown and deeply Catholic or wealthy, white Cubans who hate anything that could be called "socialist". Hillary supports abortion, closer relations with Castro, gay marriage, higher taxes etc. It's not really surprising they don't fawn over her.
There are White Cubans? Oh yea, thirsty Rubio and ugly face what's his name.
But why would anyone who hate Socialism not like Hillary?
Boeing shares took a small hit. I'm very much in favour of Trump calling them out on the cost of the new presidential jet. As a savvy businessman, he knows roughly what it should cost and he knows they are "doing a number".
In this move, he's showing that financial screwing won't be tolerated. Not in the US and not abroad. I like it. GS and others will be quaking in their boots. Accountability? On Wall St?
Why would a property developer from NY have any idea what a 747 military conversion costs?
I knew you'd chime in with some smart ar.se comment - that being your specialty.
You think someone like Trump wouldn't have a list of contacts, one of whom would know an aeronautical design engineer? You think he wouldn't have access to that information, either directly or indirectly? Get real.
Actually I was hoping mclovin would chime in....seems the only one left with any unbiased sense on this forum....

He spends 10's of millions of his own money on a campaign, he refuses to be paid for the job. If that doesn't spell commitment to his country, I don't know what does.
