At current levels of immigration when will caucasians be a minority in Australia?

Australia does have a a relatively large migration program however it is designed in a way that people granted visas are those that will be able to contribute the most to the Australian community (apart from humanitarian visas which are based on UNHCR). Requirements change constantly to reflect the needs of Australia, e.g. there are visas that encourage people to move to regional and low-population growth areas of Australia. \n\nWhether immigrants are caucasian or otherwise is irrelevant - Australia has strict guidelines for English language ability and only supports applications by those that can contribute to the country.

take it a step further where the hell is Caucasia?  The way I see it you are American or English or African etc.  Not African-American, etc.  If you are an American you're an American.  You never hear Caucasians saying German-American, etc.  I say let's all go universal and use American

Sounds like Australians have themselves a decent set of immigration laws that are actually enforced. You sound like someone who didn't get his way so you thought that you might try to cast aspersions on the Australians for "stealing" land. And lastly...Why dint you remove the locks from your house or apartment doors so anyone can just walk in?

I would guess the US, especially if you take into account the last 200 years of people from varied backgrounds coming here to live.  Where i live, the dominant ethnicities are norwegian, swedish, finnish, chippewa, german, and slovak.  also african, chinese, and sri lankan.  and this is just in a small metro area of 100,000.

Australia has had a skilled migration program since the 1980s - the current program has been largely unchanged for the last 2 years. Australia was one of the first countries to use a points test to assess a person's eligibility for a visa - points being allocated according to the contribution the person will make to the Australian community.

One might think that China would fit the bill. Certainly as an economic power house this would seem to be so but along with the economic advantages come the huge population and problems with different cultures unified temporarily under mow. I believe the country will be torn apart by feuding between wealthy political groups. The great divide between rich and poor is far more advanced than outsiders normally perceive..\n\nI believe provided Australia tightens up its migration pro gramme and actively encourages non Muslim educated migrants it will be the world leader in the future. For its population it si already the cleverest country. There is little poverty. A working family can easily afford to own there own home 3 bed and a garden. Australians have a strong sense of justice and an equally strong work ethic and common sense. There are more natural resources per head of population than any other country in the world. The legal system though not perfect is freer of politics than the US. They have three tiers of government most elected every three years. Potentially anyone can stand for parliament and they are not afraid of jailing dishonest politicians. The premier of Western Australia was jailed for corruption in the 1980's. It is a fair free country.

labour won't do much because they were voted in - jack straw pays more attention to them in his surgeries than he does the whites - we once got dissed by him so that an asian person could speak to him.\n\nI think they should not be segregated - by keeping themselves in little corners part of me thinks that the are racist towards us. Integration is the key and they should speak our language and adopt some of our culture (the bit with  morals etc) rather than trying to turn britain into an islamist state.\n\nto answer your main question why aussie and uk government have a softly softly approach is that we have seen what happened to the twin towers in america in 2001 and are scared of a repeat episode - also we had the 7/7/05 scare in london with the bombings. some of these imigrants are bad people who do not need upsetting.  although some are peace- loviing too (i am not a racist but i like to keep an open mind about these things)\n\nI do believe however that if they commit crimes and are not born of this country they should be deported and that goes for any ethnic background/ country ( including eastern europeans who are not muslim) We should not tolerate that sort of behaviour/ criminal activity and they should be notified re: this on their immigration papers!!!

It will be less than 50% by 2025\nIt will be a minority (smaller than any other group) by 2150.\n\nThis is all according to the census. However, two things:\n1. There are so many people that claim "white" but are actually a mix that this all becomes unimportant after a while.\n2. There is no such thing - scientifically - as the Human race. Humans are a species, not a race - so scientifically, we are all part of the same species. Race is a term used by sociologists to categorize and separate people based on physical appearance and ethnica/cultural background.\n\nIf this is the best answer, please vote me the best answer.\nThanks!

A.)Fewer Jobs-though this will become less and less of an issue as people commute long distances to work nowadays, and the knock-on acceptance is becoming more acute (remember the %of England's population which is non-white has gone from around 1% in the 1940s to around 6% today.\nB.)Recent immigrants tend to establish themselves where previous immigrants from the same place went, which is generally the cities (due to cheaper housing, more services, and more jobs).\nC.)Occasionally ethnic minorities are driven out of rural areas through intimidation (excrement through letterboxes, verbal abuse, etc.) or simple neglect from established communities\nD.)Ethnic minorities often have cultural practices or interests which are more difficult to pursue in rural areas than urban areas.

I think that some Caucasians are worried about minorities like us taking their place in the political and business world. Politics and business equals control and Caucasians know that, so they may be intimidated by that.

IT DEPENDS ON AUSTRALIAN LEGAL PROCESS BUT ACCORDING TO ME IT SHOULD BE WITHIN 2 OR 3 MONTHS.
