Audience member labelled ‘racist’ on ABC’s QandA for multiculturalism question

Sky News host Peta Credlin discusses ABC’s QandA program where an audience member asked a question which was blasted as “blatantly racist”.
“On ABC’s QandA program one of the audience members asked a question about multiculturalism,” Ms Credlin said.
“That was swiftly labelled as blatantly racist … I have to say I agree with her on those points about the desecration of monuments, surely it helps to have open, frank conversations about some of these difficult issues.”

Multiculturalism doesn't work, its fundamentally flawed. If you had 100k people in a town split into 5 major cultural beliefs of 20k people each do you really think its possibly for that society to function without conflict and really if we're being honest because each culture will segregate themselves they will make their own rules and government so it's essentially a country within a country. The other thing is that to have true multiculturalism we would have to give up our own countries to become "equal" with the other cultures so we are no longer in control and at some point one of those cultures will decide they want to rise up and take over. You can't have multiple cultures in the same place, you have to adopt the major values of wherever you are living and if your not willing to do that you shouldn't be there.

Overdue for the Free World to acknowledge that there are those who owe their allegiance only to their toxic faith and not to the country that gave them shelter and bread. BTW, those who damaged Captain Cook's statue are more than likely not Migrants but Native Aussies or white Wokeist. And John Howard is absolutely spot on!

GayBC should be de-funded. Taxpayers should be refunded.

My wife is a black South African migrant, I am white. My wife is appalled at the government’s obsession with race.

Who called the audience member "blatantly racist"? I watched the question and responses by the panel and no one said that. Did they say something later in the show? Do I have to watch it to the end? 🙄. Help!!

She has a right to say it and people have a right to react how they want to what she said. And multiculturalism can be good and desecrating monuments bad at the same time.

Immigration should only be allowed through the legal channels!

In my view is that those that say an honest question is racist is only used by people who are themselves the biggest racists

Not a single thing she said or called into question was racist.

You want to see how multiculturism works ?? Look at what's going on in England .

[@davidoconnell1173]

“Racist” has become a thought terminating cliche deployed by activists and lazy thinkers to shut down debate.

ABC should become a streaming service behind a pay wall

I think that if we are going to have this conversation. Using terms like racist doesn’t help anyone, wether you think multiculturalism is a good thing or not. The other side has to understand that even though there are good things that come out of multiculturalism , there are definitely bad things. Not every country holds our values or thinks the same as we do .wether it’s culturally, or religiously ,if we import to many people with these values we will lose our cultural values, that is a fact. Britain is the case study for this. A country without a good immigration and assimilation policy will not have the same country any more. As far as the university’s we should be teaching our students to be proud of heritage. otherwise our society will be come bitter and resentful ,and will tear down everything that makes our country great with something untested and most likely worse.
