Is she kidding? (Apparently not.) This guy appears to be as Australian as I am, both by birth and culture. Am I a non-Australian because my parents are Dutch?

When the non-australians are turning on the other non-Australians, you know shits getting real bad.

@Heiserite For example, there are many dark-skinned people in the UK who have fully assimilated into the British culture, with British accents, idioms, customs and values, because they and their parents (and often their grandparents) were born in that country. ...

The crime they see: 15,415 litres of water to produce one kilogram of beef. Every campaign, every documentary, every leaflet through the door since about 2012. The crime they do: not reading the paper. The figure is real. It comes from Mekonnen and Hoekstra at the University of Twente, and it is careful, peer-reviewed work. What the campaigns strip out is that the same authors split that number into three parts, because the three parts are not the same thing at all. Green water is rain. It falls on the grass. The cow eats the grass. For beef, green water is about 94 per cent of that headline. Blue water is the stuff that matters. Rivers, lakes, aquifers. The stuff that gets pumped, metered, fought over in court, and does not come back. So here is the blue water, in litres per kilogram, from the same authors, same method, same units. - Pistachios: 7,602 - Almonds: 3,816 - Walnuts: 2,451 - Dates: 1,250 - Cashews: 921 - Beef: 550 Read that last line again, then go and look at what is in your granola. The 15,415 counts rain that fell on a Welsh hillside as a cost, against an animal that was standing in it, on land where nothing else grows, in a country where rain is the one thing we have never once been short of. The pistachio is drinking fourteen times more of the water that actually runs out. She is outside in the rain right now, getting blamed for it.

@Heiserite Islamic culture in Egypt or Turkey or the UAE is far more moderate and civilised than Islam in tribal Afghanistan or Pakistan or the UK. Race is no the determining factor - culture is.

@Heiserite I don't hate Muslims, I hate Islam because it is an ideology which encourages violence and abuse. Yes, there are wide differences between Muslims, and once again this comes down to culture. ...

@Heiserite A long way from being the same - both have deep cultural roots which differ. However, they do share an underlying Christian culture, which is why European immigrants have always assimilated into Australian culture more easily than Asians or Africans.

@Heiserite I wouldn't say it is cruel. My parents embraced assimilation, stopped speaking Dutch at home and did not settle in a Dutch enclave. They chose to become Australian by language and culture. Assimilation is biblical, also. I cover that in my article here: substack.com/@billiousoz/no…

@Heiserite I'm happy to embrace my heritage, but the person I am to day was shaped primarily by Australian culture, not Dutch culture.

@Heiserite I don't agree. Race is genetic, culture is relational and social.

@Heiserite Their religion (or lack of it) has not been an obstacle, and their children grow up as culturally Australian as I am (save that I'm a Christian).

@Heiserite where non-Muslims are not welcome and their children are taught Muslim values. On the other hand, I work with many Indians and South-East Asians who have assimilated very well, because they have adopted the core values of this country. ...
