Comments by "JamesT" (@Parawingdelta2) on "Why is ‘diversity’ assumed to be synonymous with ‘of African heritage’?" video.

I think when they talk about 'BAME' they just mean 'B'. I live in Australia which is probably a bit different in so far as the immigration diversity issues are mainly focused on people from Asian countries. In some ways the acceptance of diversity from some of the southern African and Muslim countries is fast becoming a problem.

@cardroid8615 I don't get an overwhelming sense where I live and you have to remember that the combination of indigenous, islander and Maori heritage (although in minority) is part of the overall appearance that differs from the 'Anglo Saxon Australian' for want of a better description. I worked for the Brisbane City Council for over twenty years, working in and around the city itself. Over that time, particularly in the few years prior to me leaving in 2008, there was a marked increase in the number of (mainly young) Asian faces. I suspect many were students at the universities, some of whom I would assume acquired permanent residency at some point. The largest population of people from non-English speaking backgrounds in the city of Melbourne is Indonesian, It use to be Greek back in the seventies.

@youtubeyoutube936 Undeniably so. I guess in the long term it's whether it becomes a positive or a negative. I'm British and Britain was overrun by the Romans, the French and my own country of Wales was suppressed and annexed by the English. You'll notice there's representation of England, Ireland and Scotland on the Union Flag (Jack), but no Wales. Ultimately one could say that although it was no pleasure cruise for those at the time, the ultimate benefit of the technology and civilisation was something we all take for granted.
