If you were to try to convince me a 2:1 immigrant to local birth ratio here in Australia is a net good for the country, you’re first going to have to convince me your a reasonable person to have a conversation with.

If you jump straight in with claims against me that I’m -ist and -ic that’s going to be more difficult.

Huh? So more nonwhite people is a net negative for Australia? How isn't this just bald faced racism?

Here you are again [0], unable to represent comments in good faith.

Nobody said "non-white" and it isn't even implied because a significant proportion -- 35-40% of Australian Permanent Residents (US green card equivalent) -- come from EU/"White" countries.

The suggestions above are consistent with my request for you to review the HN comment guidelines.

Complaining about 2:1 immigrant to local birth rate has absolutely nothing to do with long-time permanent residents (who are locals). It's clearly a fear that white culture is being overrun by brown/chinese people.

Your comments degrade the discourse at least as much as you think mine do.

Wrong again. They're locals and overseas-born immigrants.

You’re really not doing great at convincing me you are a reasonable person to have a conversation with.
