الأخ العزيز Dhieu Chabiet تحية وإحترام
يبدو إنك قد اسئت فهم ما كنت اقصده إبتداءاً
There is a difference, Brother, between the integration into the community and the assimilation with the community. What I meant at the beginning, and what I think the Australian official institutions meant to put forth, is the first one; that is, the integration (with its economic and cultural dimensions only), and not the complete assimilation with the Australian version of the Western values.
The integration of new arrivals in the community is a natural thing for those who, willingly or not, choose to be part of the social fabrics of a country, in Australia and also everywhere else. Otherwise they would keep living in isolated ghettos bypassing their original rights as citizens, and forgoing the opportunities to strengthen their economic, educational, and social statuses.
The word “integration” also doesn’t contrast, neither with the Australian multicultural policy, nor with the diversified nature of the Australian community. On the contrary, it rather supports and strengthens them. In effect the main reason of abandoning the white Australia policy late in 1940s, besides the economic reasons, and the international political transformations, was that the Australian government discovered then the difficulty in, or you can say the impossibility of, the complete assimilation of new arrivals (the World War II refugees at that time) with the Australian community.
As they have been burn as Greeks, Italians, and Macedonians, it was difficult for them to be Australians. Ever since, the official policy was to enhance the existence of the diversified minor ethnicities. They established here some coordinating bodies as the commissioner for community relations, ethnic service programs, and Migrant Resource Centres.
So I never meant for the African people to celebrate their new citizenship by drinking beer. But just to be aware and wise enough, guided by intellectual people among them, to educate themselves and to work hard, individually and collectively, to establish a distinguished economic status that allow their voice to be heard, just as other minor communities, Chinese, Vietnamese, and the like do. Isn’t it simple enough?

In Noble Park, there has been a teenage Sudanese boy get killed last week, and this was one of the reasons to take such a decision.
Best wishes Dhieu with your studies, and apologise for writing in English as I have no Arabic keyboard at the moment.
Stay well my friend
