My guess is that your dad was grateful for the opportunity & chance at a better life.

The sense of entitlement among the youth (regardless of race) is quite different now.

My parents immigrated to Australia when I was a baby, worked hard & never took a govt handout. They relied on my mother's parents to get their adult life started but only as much as they had to.

What's a bit disturbing to me is the way in which African youth view white Australians. They look down on us as soft & weak while they take advantage of our socialistic policies. I don't blame them or have any animosity towards them but it's a little concerning to see our demographics change so much over the last few decades.

I don't know where this ends up but I certainly don't want to be living in our cities any more.
