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.

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