    Asian Australians now represent 12% of Australia's population as of 2011, up from 5.5% in just 10 years.
    Less than 40 years after the White Australia policy was buried by the Whitlam government, the census results unveiled yesterday by the Australian Bureau of Statistics reveal a land of many cultures, many ancestries and many religions. In the decade to 2011, the growth in Australia's population was mostly among people of Asian ancestry. From just 982,519 in 2001, the number of Asian-Australians has swollen to 2.4 million in 2011 - or from 5.5 per cent of us to 12 per cent

    Clearly the direction and future of Australia is now Asian, it makes sense both politically and geographically being so. Australia is now becoming more multicultural and Anglo Australia is dying. Is it time now to remove that silly Union Jack from their flag?

    In relation to the flag:
    Wiki wrote:
    "A 2004 Newspoll that asked: "Are you personally in favour or against changing the Australian flag so as to remove the Union Jack emblem?" was supported by 32% of respondents and opposed by 57%, with 11% uncommitted. A 2010 Morgan Poll that asked: "Do you think Australia should have a new design for our National Flag?" was supported by 29% of respondents and opposed by 66%, with 5% uncommitted."

    I wouldn't quite agree, but their ability to be casually racist to non-Caucasians is nothing short of staggering.

    They know Kung Fu, time to give up on Oz and find somewhere else to infect with GAA jerseys and easily sun-sizzled flesh.

    Didn't the Aussie FA move to play soccer in Asia a few years back. So the Socceroos are in fact 100% Asian!

    Orientals you mean they're even creeping up on Indians, too they came down from the northeastern hills so no point in running to em

    Very, pretty girls is all I can say closest thing to a pocahontas I'd seen and when they're that hard to resist then who's gonna - must, discipline myself with an inferior gene that's already the serious minority in mind.
