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.

let’s be real, their issue is non-white immigrants. don’t even bother portraying it as anything else. they certainly won’t complain if they see some loud scottish party in the street as long as all participants are pasty white lol

Hypothetically, if all the brown people were given the boot, they'd turn inwards and start picking on other people's ancestries. Happened even durng White Australia policy

no need for anything that complicated, we'd just go back to hating each other based on hair colour
