Re: Had enough of the UK
I've written this before but worth repeating...
All immigrants integrate and the society changes a bit to accommodate them as they accomadate the society that welcomes them, invariably for the better.
Australian's view of immigration has been the same for the over 50 years that I have lived here.
First it was the southern Europeans not being the same as those from the north and not fitting in with complaints about the ghettos of Marrickville full of Greeks who don't want to learn the language or fit in, Followed by exactly the same complaints about the eastern Europeans.
Then it was the Vietnamese and the gangs and drug sellers in Cabramatta who didn't want to fit in with the Australian way of life by creating "asian " suburbs.
The Chinese arrived after Tiananmen Square massacre, they too will never fit in, they are not Christian, they don't speak English blah blah!
These were followed by the Lebanese and their strange religion and mosques springing up in Lakemba and strangely enough in Cabramatta (the Vietnamese having integrated by then), and the same "they will never integrate" BS
Likewise the dog whistling about Somalian boy gangs in Melbourne, strange how that has all died down now.
It's all rubbish and when this Covid19 thing is over there will be a new lot of immigrants who won't fit in and won't want to learn English but a few years later your children or their children will be playing with them and staying at their house.
Multiculturalism is alive and well and works great, it just takes time for the new settlers to be assimilated but they all do and all the remarks about them look so silly in hindsight. They just need to be made welcome.
