Is Australia A Racist Country

[therisingblues]

Is that the same queue that thousands of european backpackers and tourists who visit on a visa join when they decide not to go home. Most people only care about the boat people because the news and pollies make a big deal of it. the rate of illegal immigrants coming into australia as tourists far outweighs the numbers coming in boats

Totally correct ...

Interesting stat, I didn't know this.
But is this measuring only the number of boat people that successfully get to stay, or is it the number currently "being processed" or does it also include the number of boat people that get deterred before they arrive?
I guess the boat people get all the press because it is much easier to film them coming in. If tourists who overstayed their visas conspicuously travelled in large groups on say the back of a flat bed truck, the press and pollies would be chasing them too.

I don't care how they get into the country. Do it the right way, or **** off.

They actually are doing it the right way, BC.

I know you have argued your case lucidly, if somewhat simplistically, but international human rights allow people to seek asylum.

If they are found to be not genuine refugees, then they are told to **** off.

Do you want me to do a 500 word explanation like some on this website do?? Well I'm not. That's my view and I stick by it.

1 Definitely not, Psyb....err, BC

2 I'm not asking you to change your view. You're entitled to it, but I'm entitled to point out its shortcomings.

And if they can't say Vulnerable, then no bloody way should they be allowed in.......

Totally agree, mate.

Should be a minimum requirement, otherwise they can all **** off

Obviously the racist mind set belonged to whoever took the advertisement over the phone and they should be hunted down...
I remember seeing that some years ago.

I wonder if the Indian media will run with that?

Or the Indian National murdered in NSW recently, allegedly by two other Indian nationals. How much coverage will that receive in India.
