There are many areas, suburbs, that make me feel I’m in a foreign country. On occasions I’m the only white in an entire shopping mall and nobody is speaking English. I wouldn’t mind as much if many chose to integrate, assimilate and want to be Australian. I know they do not. Look at high school children out of school- they mostly are with their own ethnicity. So even the kids don’t appear to have a need to become Australian. Happy remaining who they are.
But I’ve been saying this for years.
At a tipping point. Soon to be outnumbered. All by design. Libs and Labor have no intentions of stopping this onslaught and too many Aussies don’t seem interested. They might in another generation when it will be too late.
When we see a large number of one group, who arrive in quick succession, and form enclaves - like metastasizing cancer node - in the broader society, those new arrivals will not integrate with their new host country any more than they have to. They will continue to talk in their native language, and not get better at English language. This then burdens or society with having to provide translators at Centrelink, or other factors whee language skills are required such as in workplaces, fully understanding road rules or even in other community interactions - transactional or cultural.
These enclaves tend to spend their money within their own group - so they buy their type of food from their ethnic grocers, they go to a barber shop run by their ethnic peers. They inhabit online chat spaces in their own language and organise for their own communities, excluding the broader society from those events or any opportunity to mingle in to their world (because we are the ones expected to be welcoming and make those moves to the newcomers (but they reject us or exclude us when we try). Perhaps it is food, religion or some other ethnic position or factor, but they don't want us spoiling their 'family get together'.
By having the critical mass and concentration of fellow ex-pats, they have no need or desire to not just behave as if our cities and suburbs are just fancy upgrades to their own lives. They don't see themselves as living in Australia, or a country that is giving them opportunities, they see that they are treating their new situation as being able to fly in and out of the nice suburbs they wish they had back in their home countries. They can come here, access safe, clean spaces, indoor plumbing, avoid the diseases, the beggars, the rats, the open sewers, the caste system (although they do still practice that within their own communities here in AU).
Given the opportunities, they still just carry on in many ways like they are still in India, except in a nice place.
They are here to exploit what they can, take what they can - they don't grow as people and adopt the ways of our society (ways that made our society desirable, safe and prosperous in the first place). Their cultural persistence of things like exploiting fellow immigrants in workplaces or perpetuating the caste system eventually turns our society backwards, and we slowly degrade to the third world standards they wanted to leave behind.
Many immigrants these days (not just Indians, but Asians too) are coming to Australia not just to get a free ride on our well developed services, to get away from the overcrowding or oppressive governments, but simply for personal economic gain and lifestyle reasons. They have no loyalty to us, but to themselves. If Canada or USA were easier options, they would move there, again, in their own self interests. They seek not to work hard and build their own countries - like our ancestors did for us over time - but to just jump to the front of the queue, literally, and in life. They have not paid taxes for years to enable the roads, hospitals, school etc to be available, but they will fly in, breed up, bring elderly relatives and take full advantage of what we have created for our own people.
There is a clear distinction with the post WWII Europeans migrants and the £10 poms in the 1960's... they came here to build a new life, to contribute, and they came from a similar culture and with similar outlooks to the locals. The Asian and Indian migrants have none of that, they just want to take, and choose to remain isolated from the broader Australian society. They are not the new wave of New Australians ' they are just visitors even invaders, who come here to exploit our kindness, to take what they can from an advanced society that the would never have in their lifetime back in their old country, and they feel no obligation to contribute, give back or share.
If they get into local government or other positions in society here, it is not to contribute to everyone's welfare, or the greater good of Australian society - it is to further their ethnic interests, another tentacle in their creeping, swarming mentality of gaining opportunities for themselves and their own kind.
That division and lack of willingness to integrate, as well as their locust like concentration in various suburbs, is apparent. They are not Australians, they never will be, and it seems they don;t want to be. They are Indians living better than the others they left behind, who would also come here is they could for the free ride that seems to be on offer.
They are invaders, and there needs to be control and conditions on mass immigration, especially from culturally divergent places.
pauline hanson was complaining about the wrong asians. the vietnamese turned out to be great immigrants that have caused little problems for australia. just wait until the indians gain enough critical mass and start pushing their weight around economically and politically. you are going to see nepotism, tribalism and racism exported from the subcontinent like nothing you have ever seen.

Great article.
Sad, but on the flip side, fantastic that the Indians are picking India and not Australia, because they are Indians.
Credit to the Indians, they are killing civic nationalism. Not even the muzzies could do that.
