another non-american here...
i found the thread curious - and i have a fairly neutral stance on it all... im born and raised english from a mixed-immigrant family. i myself am now an immigrant here.
rmartinbuenosaires is an immigrant too, but he thought, after his service to his country and their 'saving the world' policy that he could throw 'japanese/greek colony' comments out there. i am glad they left that post on there - self-segregation helps us all understand a little more that any global village still has those that are against integration...
a question for rmartinbuenosaires - is england an 'indian/pakistani colony?' is ireland a 'polish colony?' is germany a 'turkish colony?'
and finally - by applying the greek colony idea to australia you are unfairly marginalising the wonderful jewish, lebanese, english, irish, new zealand and more colonies there...
