But dogs you still aren't seeing the point. Yeah these first generation-ers may be born here, but they learn their attitude towards all other cultures from somewhere, they learn to disrespect this country from somewhere. If a family/person comes into this country with no documents and lies about where they are from and their own past, then they are entering our country under illegal circumstances and are showing us no respect. that lack of respect gets passed down to their children and then we get shit like the cronulla riots. Take the examples I gave of the two lebanese. the guy i went to school with had respect for this country as did the rest of his family, the one's who lived opposite me had no respect and the younger son turned out to be a criminal.
It all comes down this - how you enter a country, whether it be to live or to visit. If you come showing absolute respect for the country's culture and laws, you will get along fine. If you don't, then you will breed that disrespect into your future generations. all of my ancestors came here as free settlers and have shown nothing but respect for others - I'm a great example of that. I show no prejudice to anyone based on their race, creed, color of skin, sexuality or disability. If I don't like someone, it's because of their actions and that alone. And i will say that.
