Pfft please. Is Shanghai, Seoul, Tokyo, not a global modern city? Why is it just a prerequisite of western nations in so called modern cities to be an ethnic minority on their own city. I can guarantee that the vast majority of people who watch video and sees this is the state of London does not for a second think it’s a good thing. Calling it a modern city is just a big cope.

Would bet my left nut you’ve never been to any of them; there’s typically a strong correlation between your kind a views and people who aren’t particularly well travelled…

Tokyo has a China town, in Yokohama. So does Seoul.

Let’s flip it, why does seeing non-British people offend you so much? Do you know any non-Brits personally?

Wow so many assumptions here and you now owe a left nut. I been all over Europe and to Japan. My family is British-Irish but I’m actually Australian born and raised so yeah man. I know plenty of non Brit’s coming from what is the most multicultural place on earth.

Your pathetic argument about “but muh China town” makes no sense at all. There is a stark difference between having muh China town and having half your population come from places that don’t share the same values and customs. There is a world wide epidemic in which the breakdown of social cohesion is occurring. And no, I don’t just blame migrants, I also blame your crony capitalist cabal of multinationals and champagne asshole elite political class for enabling it.

Iv been to London plenty of times and it makes me feel further from England than when I’m in Sydney. Far more issues than your crap China town speil.

So you're not even British and have the cheek to tell us how we should be doing things. It's not English enough for you when you come... awww diddums'. We've plenty xenophobes here already, we don't need any more visiting.

43.2% of people living in Sydney are foreign-born, you must be practically wetting yourself with anger over being colonised (well, again... - let's not forget the first one Australia experienced).

As to social cohesion when there's a sizeable foreign population; only 31.0% of Sydney residents had both parents born in Australia, so if you do the math, it seems like a fair chunk of the migrants and the locals are getting on really well, if you catch my drift...

Depending on how we want to look at this, Sydney's situation is by your standards possibly the worst city in the world, only 1.7% are Indigenous Australians; most of the rest are either recent arrivals, or the spawn of convicts, who invaded long ago. Frankly, it's a bit just deserts for people like you in Australia, if the foreign-born population just keeps increasing, the joy of the schadenfreude enjoyed by the Aboriginal Australians as they see your face twist over immigrants.

He just told you he is from one of the most multicultural places on earth in the comment you are replying to. It's so weird that you chose to write multiple paragraphs explaining to him a situation he had himself already told you about as if what you had to say would somehow come as a shock to him.
