We need to look at how people got assimilated in the past and do, like, a lot of that today. I mean, you can't just annihilate something like multiculturalism; you need to replace it with something.

Until 1975, almost all were Maronites or Christian Lebanese. They prospered here, married into the local community and, within two generations, became largely indistinguishable from the Australian mainstream.

And I'm guessing the Christian lebanese weren't the cause of the riots.....

It is not race that is the problem but culture.

Absolutely! We have a similar problem here in the states.

Actually ours is worse than a mere lack of cultural assimilation, it is a cultural degradation. The majority culture seems all too willing to fall to the occasion, yo.

Fo' shizzle.

I believe that Lebanese Muslims are caucasians? So these events may be described many ways, but I don't believe they are racial.

Is there an expert here on the racial classification of Lebanese Muslims?
