Australia isn't just white. So why does my TV say otherwise?

[xBennyx34]

You are fucking stupid. Italians and Greeks are white.

[leetrisco]

hahaha...you trying to get your own talk back show??? nice work bro

[kimberleyseetoes]

I made a video on the same issue :)

[gunailad]

All people in Australia have the human right to pratice their culture and heritage, no laws say people must assimilate, Australia started as a foriegn culture in a foriegn land and is still the case, the real question is why the majority of australians feel we all need to be the same, is it fear? Im not even sure if the capitalist greedy society is something non greedy people would be atracted to, especially if that society was influenced to benefit a certain belief system

[SuperHipHopMaster12]

Amen brother!, we shud work together to make the better for all our races.

[NextGenRev]

"G'day guys!! and welcome back to Huey's Better Homes and Garde..." *Turns of TV*

[kingpinoy]

Couldn't agree more.. Australia needs more white people like u. Bro to be honest, the last TV show I remember from Australia that had multiculturalism in it was Heartbreak High. And for that reason, I was a fan but that was ages ago and we haven't had anything similar since. Yeah all the shows nowadays show no multiculturalism and everyone on it has Bieber hairstyles.lol

[Figgamortis]

@kingpinoy fuck! heartbreak high! haha.. thats right.. that was a good depiction of the multiculturalism that exists in Australia.. well good enough. One of my south african mates was cast as an extra!

yeah where's the latest heartbreak high? i reckon that would work these days even more so!

[tru3b1u31]

@Figgamortis i kinda get where your coming from most of my friends are Asian(indo, Chinese, malay), Sri Lankan , Indian etc. But i dont see them as being of that nationality i see them as being Aussie as they were born here and have lived here their entire lives. So maybe you are referring to people that haven't integrated, which seems a bit silly.

[framptonorchablis]

You're a minority? I don't mean to be rude, but what is your ethnicity? You just look white.

[Figgamortis]

@framptonorchablis yeah i was referring to the area in which i was born and raised. I am white.

[supergurl291]

So I was interviewing this lady from the ABC for an assignment. I expressed by deep interest in being a news reader on television. She looked at me and asked me what nationality my parents were. I replied, Lebanese and Turkish Cypriot. She said, "Sorry but to be honest, we'd recieve hate mail. You're too ethnic." - So much for multicultural Australia.

[WorldSacred]

Your video is fine, but I don't think you are really explaining your question too well. My town is 95% caucasian demographic, and I assume that Sydney is about 70% caucasian demographic. If you are talking about televised multiculturalism as in experiencing a culture (and not race) in some specifics, television won't do that for you. So, if you live in a big city like Sydney, you have to switch off and go out experience it yourself. In my situation, I have to pick up a book.

[Figgamortis]

@WorldSacred to be honest.. i don't watch TV for this reason. at all.. i write and draw.

thanks for your opinon though.

[WorldSacred]

It does portray the multicultural side of Australia. There is a channel that caters specifically for non-white and non-Australian people: SBS. By the way, I'm amazed at the number of people that have their ears pierced like the way you have.

[Figgamortis]

@WorldSacred a channel specifically for non-white and non australian? is that like having a 'coloured' section on a bus? SOMEBODY CALL ROSA PARKS!!

[WorldSacred]

@Figgamortis What's your point? SBS is pro-multicultural. Plus, what's the point of bringing in the Rosa Parks analogy? The way you were talking (and I'm trying to remember what I watched the other day), if you want to use Rosa Parks in an analogy, you would be saying that Rosa Parks was denied the bus ride altogether.

[mizsay]

i know what you mean...thats why i watch SBS lol...its because the media is runned dominantly by old white racist rich men and the illuminati...they day when us multicultural people overtake this country is the day when telelvision will be in colour lol wooh australia day will be invasion day!!

[DaManIzBack]

@mizsay wow... if a white person said those kind of things about minorities, i bet you wouldn't just be laughing then would you?? Hmm... so when we say shit - it's racist but when you say the exact same shit - it's different somehow... gotta give you a pat on the back buddy - you're really doing a good job of NOT giving all the genuine bigots out there who say that you minorities simply hide behind your race any justification for having their beliefs are you?? (that was sarcasm btw)

[Figgamortis]

@deathxawaits

thanks shithead.

[XSS51V]

Hey mate it's Monty here, a couple of points:

1) Ethnics are way more racist to other ethics than any white person would ever be! I guess they do it to make themselves feel like they are climbing up the minority "ladder". More education and less religion would make the world a much better place :)

2) The only time you see ethnics on Australian TV is when the show advertisements from overseas that have been dubbed with an Australian accent!

[ M ]

[Figgamortis]

ever tried saying something? i'll say it either way...

I grew up in bankstown dude... and i'm telling you now.. i'll be the first to say there are shitheads in any colour.

My point is though... that multiculturalism isnt depicted... at all. i dont understand that.

[DaManIzBack]

i don't agree with dickheads like that garth there, but at the same time - fuck political correctness and let's have some honesty for once! There are alot of minorities (i said a lot - not all, just letting you know in advance before anyone accuses me of generalizing) who DO just hide behind their fucking race every single time they do something wrong! Maybe, just maybe, the reason why the Cronulla riots happened in the first place wasn't because a bunch of rich people just woke up that*

[DaManIzBack]

*morning and said "You know what? Let's go bash some wogs today, yeah that sounds like a good idea" but because alot of middle easterners over there HAD been fucking doing shit, such as bashing, robbing, raping and even fucking murdering people for years and fucking years and everytime people tried to get something done about it... "racist, racist racist!! you're just picking on us because we're arab!! you're all racist!" I mean there is only so much shit people can put up with before they*

[DaManIzBack]

*just think to themselves "well you know what? If these people aren’t gonna listen to us and then we'll fucking MAKE them listen!" I agree it was a shame that innocent minorities got caught up in it, but i say... don't blame the intolerant, evil, racist white bastards... blame all the middle easterners who were doing all that shit for years and then just hiding behind their race when people complained about it! I mean just look at micdoob's comment down*

[mizsay]

@DaManIzBack wow how about the civil rights against the whites and blacks in the US? you have been sucked in by the media. "Bashing, robbing, raping and even fucking murdering people for years" is related to all colours of criminals not just black or arab...thats racist and prejudice...should be a war between good and evil not cultures

[DaManIzBack]

@mizsay First of all what the fuck has America got to do with this??? Secondly... i never said white people wern't doing shit like that for years did i?? All i said was that just about everytime the middle easterners did it... fuck all would happen to them because they would just scream racist and the cops would just back off and do fuck all! There is only so much fuel you can add to a fire before it explodes. As for this "not enough minorities on tv" shit - get the fuck over it and get a life!

[DaManIzBack]

*there!... no we aint living in a white man’s world at all!... I once got declined for a job at a video store a couple years back by a boss who was arab… can I now say “I’m living in an arab man’s world”??? Would anyone give a flying fuck if I claimed racial discrimination???

[Figgamortis]
