Racial or Religious Riots?

Confirmation, if any were needed, that the Australian “race riots” are actually  more “Muslim riots” than anything else. The Australian carries an excellent analysis of the failure of multiculturalism with the following very illuminating data:

“Studies by Monash University [show]…. the most revealing test of immigrant integration, the marriage rate….. by the end of the '90s less than 10 per cent of second-generation marriages of people of European descent were to someone from their parents' country. Much the same was true of immigrants from south and east Asia. Only 6 per cent of Indians married within their ethnic group, as did only 18 per cent of Chinese. In short, most immigrants, whatever their race, married Australians of other nationalities.

However, for the Lebanese, of whom most of marriageable age were Muslims, these figures were reversed. No less than 74 per cent of Lebanese brides and 61 per cent of Lebanese grooms married within their own ethnic group. Moreover, these figures had increased since the early '90s, when they were about six percentage points lower.”


Is it racist to point out the extraordinary difficulty most Muslims seem to have have worldwide, in marrying and accommodating tolerantly to people of other faiths?

Just out of curiosity, what percent of white Amnerican Evangelical Christians marry within their own racial and religious culture?
Just curious, you know...

We are diuscussing here all races of Australians, black white and brown, who are not muslims, vs muslim Australians of Lebanese extraction. What connection does this have to Americans?

Oh, there is no such thing as a "racial culture", unless one is a classical Fascist. Of course National Socialism, which developed the ideas of "racial culture" was Fasicst and that word that begins with "S"......

Try again mate. The left really has to do more than act the High School debater these days, the righties are brighties.

In response to Anonymous' comments, I'd say very few white Evangelical American Christians marry outside their race. That doesn't stop them from habouring and acting out their interacial sexual fantasies - either with Creole women (in the past) of with ladies of black extraction. Right O_G?
