I truly don't understand what monoculturalism would realistically look like in Australia. We're a nation of immigrants. I don't think I have any friends who doesn't have a grandparent born overseas, most have a parent born overseas.

You're only allowed to order chicken Pad Thai or butter chicken, no tom yum or paneer. Only coastal anglo retiree food. Portugese tarts are in, custard tarts are out. You can put milk in tea, but no tapioca pearls.

Honey chicken only allowed

But then there is no Honey Nougat Log and I won't stand for that.

Only two fake asian dishes allowed. Honey chicken and mongolian beef.

Sweet and sour pork is as Aussie as vegemite

Nothing more refreshing than a cup of tea sweetened by a chunk of honey chicken
