"dye your red real hair black!"
https://ryukyushimpo.jp/style/article/entry-344898.html

I saw something like that when I taught high school on JET and the girl being told she needed to dye her hair wasn't even harfoo. She just had hair that was naturally a little ligher than your average Japanese person. The teacher in charge of making sure the students didn't break the dress code refused to believe her and reduced her to tears by agressively berating her in front of everyone. Good times, good time.

When I was an AET back in the day, I had two sibling students that had full on afros (we're talking MJ in his ABC123 days). I never met the parents, but I was told they were 100% Yamato, so I guess they were the rare 天パー, and they didn't have to straighten their hair either (this was early 90's Kanto).
After my oldest daughter's high-school entrance ceremony, I went along with her to the hair check line (this exists) and just pointed at my head (light brown hair). The teacher just laughed and inferred that my daughter's last name alone was proof enough. Not so lucky for the other 100% J kids lined up, mostly with natural wavy hair.

Dunno, I think the Japs should keep their mono-culture together.

They will, mostly because there's no alternative: 98.7% of them are just Japanese, though I think that now includes Okinawans and Ainu, etc..............which guts that all the way down to >98.3% The idea that "The Japs" (leelee?) might lose it or dilute it is one of the silliest manufactured fears of the weird white interwebz (along with the Jpn Panda Van Men and their merry bands of mendacious malcontents). The problem with multiculturalism isn't simply that it panders to euphemistic exceptionalism and entitlement, it also entirely fails to impress upon the plurality ethnics that they are simply one of many as well. And when they feel their assumed hegemony and privilege threatened they blame the Dindus or the Boobaloobas, even though everybody knows that Irish and English are the most criminally inclined of the species.

ram raids by Dindu's are becoming the norm. .........

I am simply dying to know what that is. Is a Dindu like a Pundi or a Sanjit using a male sheep to commit crimes?
The only troublesome or trashy Australians I have ever met were all full white Asstralians, and the ethnic ones were almost Canadian in their Globalite sophistication and unctuous PC pedantry, but that has always been in Japan, Canada or the UK, so maybe there are ethnic trash back in the billabong?

[kurogane]

A sort of Paris Syndrome of a different kind?

The best cure for that is for them to spend time around French people and realize what a bunch of miserable, selfish, self centered cunts they are.

SJ,
Yeah. I found the non-white/non-East Asian Australian JETS to be almost as self-righteously smug and pedantically proper as the Canadians you so adored, and nice kids too.

[Taka-Okami]

Plenty of white trash here, no doubt. But now that 30% of the residents weren't even born here, we don't really have a culture any more, just a cesspit. I certainly have lost any allegiance I once might have had to this place, it's so easy to get citizenship here they hand them out like candy.

This is the attitude multiculturalism instils. When we have the bubble bust we need, and certainly deserve, watch all the rats leave the sinking ship. I'll be one of them!

"Dindu" This came out of the USA. Typical of the blacks there to "I dindu nuffin" even when caught red-handed.

A cesspit, just like Switzerland. Although, admittedly Australia has much worse cultural dissonance because so many of the foreign born residents were born in the British Isles and New Zealand. Those guys do nothing to try to integrate with the local culture.

Got that right cobber. And quite right too!

[Taka-Okami]

Exactly. They're just like all the other immigrant cultures. You see, being a citizen of a multicultural country means nothing. No sense of belonging to anything. No way in hell would I ever defend this place if it was ever invaded. I'm just gonna get cash while the goings good, then move onto to the next place like a locust!

The local culture is to do nothing, and those guys are integrating perfectly.

I look forward to seeing which "next place" would accept you as a resident. New Zealand, for which I presume you have resident rights, is off the list, because over 30% of the citizens are foreign born, and all those Pacific Islanders etc. do nothing to reject the rich culture they bringintegrate.

Australian culture?

Doesn't that involve a relaxed attitude and a love of beer?

How hard is it to integrate into that?

No, no you misunderstand. I've given up on any sense of nationalism, I don't care about integration now, all I'm noting is the attitude shift among the masses. I'm suggesting that for a nation state to survive, you need people to believe in the project and work toward a common goal, multiculturalism does not really produce this feeling.

I have the right to work in multiple countries - no probs there.

I actually kind of like the islanders, not sure why

There is no "Australian culture".

[wagyl]

we don't really have a culture any more

There is no "Australian culture".

Are you saying that there was? Or are you saying that there never was? Or are you saying that there was nothing there before so nothing was lost but you mourn what was lost?

I'm so confused.

I'd rather have "no culture" than one that is ossified with countless meaningless so-called traditions,
mentally still stuck in the 17th century.

[wagyl]

But they weren't born where you are, or even born in NZ.

You stated that that was the cause of cesspittedness, and destruction of culture.

But now that 30% of the residents weren't even born here, we don't really have a culture any more, just a cesspit.

Perhaps you misunderstand yourself. Your dissatisfaction with Australia must have a different cause, otherwise New Zealand is also off your list.

But anyway, if you no longer care about integration, you will be a "not from here and not integrating foreigner" where ever you go, making everywhere you go a new cesspit. You will be destroying the culture you crave, and be cursed to wander in perpetuity.

Are you talking about Japan or the UK?

The UK, obviously. Japan doesn't even have a hereditary parasite class anymore.

Japan, obviously.

[matsuki]

Save bogan culture!!!

Also, last time I was helping a friend out with her court case against a former employee, the case before was a great example about furrin culture running into the wall of local law.

"I'm sorry Mrs. Lee but this is the third time you've ignored the court and performed your "Chinese medicine" on the child....and these marks sure look like the results of cigarette burns on his back. The child is physically scarred and will not be returning with you today."

(Mrs. Lee was a batty old lady (grandmother of the kid) who was claiming she was performing "Chinese medicine" on the kiddo to get him to behave.

Have you been keeping abreast of Japanese politics over the last couple of generations?

You've got it all wrong. It's because of multiculturalism, I don't care anymore about what country or where I live. I can live in a multicultural cesspit as long as I'm making money. Otherwise I'll move on

[wagyl]

So it is not because of foreign born after all? So your

has as much meaning as

But now the sky is cloudy, the asparagus is much more delicious.

meaning that anyone who thinks that cloudiness and flavour are related have

got it all wrong.

Here's a tip. For those economic refugees (scum!!!! Keep them out of our country!!) who chase the big cash while trashing where ever they happen to be, clear English expression which does not require five clarifications to say what you meant first time, is a very useful and valuable skill. I recommend that you learn it.

Interesting that cities such as Melbourne, Vancouver, and Toronto are in the top five year-after-year with regards to various livability indices such as the EIU.

[kurogane]

Yeah, I get a sneaky feeling we're using the same words to cross purposes here. Whatever T-O is calling multiculturalism is what I would call simple ethnic diversity or even just an immigrant society. To me multiculturalism is a distinct and determined government policy intended to promote an appreciation of all contributing cultures/races under the umbrella of national doughnut worship (in the Cdn case). The way T-O is using it sounds to me like a shibboleth of the Angry Fat Right, which is rarely a reliable source of terminological exactitudes. It sounds like a creepy Golem wandering amongst all the beleagured tank topped ex-convicts, seeking to steal all that they stole back when stealing was still a birthright. BTW, and I think wagyl touched on this, but didn't Australia and NZ start being multicultural about 250 or so years ago? Even allowing for Billabong Time that seems plenty long enough to forge a common umbrella identity based on stained tank tops and bad beer, or even those fries and gravy pie things (which are delicious, BTW).

No. The real and obvious reason the government wants and needs to import all these people is to keep the population Ponzi going. You see, the economic system to work needs forever increasing population growth. But that comes with social consequences. Then eventually the system doesn't work because increasingly people are only here to milk it and move onto their origins or other location and do exactly the same thing.
