Young Asian's making their mark on Australia (moving away from old immigration policies)

From federation in 1901, when the newly-minted country passed its first immigration act, until World War II, Australia pursued a pro-white, Australia-first agenda, promoting European settlement and discouraging others.

Those discredited, counterproductive, policies officially came to an end in 1973 and, since then, Australian society has come to take on a gradually different ethnic hue.

Asians now account for 2.4 million, or 12% of the 22.7 million population. Three out of every 10 Asians go to university, 20% of all doctors are Asian and 37% of Asians take part in some form of organised sport.

As a result, the look and feel of Australia is subtly, but incontrovertibly changing; especially as by nearly every measure, Asians are a model of assimilation.

When I was in the Philippines for a few years in the early 1970's Australia still had its pro-white immigration policy. Filipinos usually did not even try to immigrate there.

I knew it had changed since but did not realize it had happened that long ago. Nice to see Australia becoming a multicultural society.
