I love multiculturalism

As the swimming events have come to a close and the Olympics have shifted primary focus to the track and field, it is that time in the games where Australia has to sit back and watch its gradual decline on the medal tally.

Every year I wonder: Where are the aussie athletes in the track and field events? Is swimming all we do down here, or is it really true that white men can’t jump let alone run?

Every four years we see the talents of athletes from countries like Jamaica (which now boasts of being home to the fastest man and woman in the world) and various African nations scoop up the medals of the track and field events.

Some people criticize that multiculturalism hasn’t worked in Australia. However, all those in doubt should yet hold their tongues for the immigration policy could become our secret weapon for future domination of the Olympic medal tally!

Imagine the possibilities! The best the world has to offer: gymnasts from China, sprinters from Africa, and weight lifters from Eastern Europe all competing in green and gold. Multiculturalism is a many splendid thing!
