If I told you to picture a One Nation supporter, what sort of vision would you form in your mind?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What if I told you that he was a small business owner with a flagpole in his front yard, proudly flying the national flag?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A man who describes Pauline Hanson as \u201cfantastic to be honest with you\u201d, and \u201csomeone who loves her own country so much, that\u2019s not racist\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who says to migrants: \u201cyou come to this country, embrace the Australian way of living, or you know what, stay where you are \u2013 that\u2019s my view\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who rebuffs claims of racism by Ms Hanson thus: \u201cIf someone comes into my house, I will protect my house from someone if they\u2019re bringing different values into my house and trying to teach my kids something different\u2026 well, you know what, you\u2019re not welcome\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No doubt you\u2019ve formed your mental picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was it of a migrant from Fiji named Ronil Prasad?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because that\u2019s the bloke \u2013 and he appeared on SBS program\u00a0Insight<\/em>\u00a0this week to explain his support of One Nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His family fled a Fijian military coup four decades ago and he considers his identity to be wholly Australian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe came here to be Australian, and I call myself Australian \u2013 I don\u2019t call myself Fijian or Indian,\u201d he said on Insight<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No doubt he will have since copped flack from migrant activists and know-it-alls who believe they know what is best for all migrants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Prasad has committed the greatest sin of all for a non-white Australian \u2013 to reject the politics of victimhood, say he considers himself wholly of this country and vocalise the obvious truth that every country, including ours, ought to protect its identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all, isn\u2019t that why migrants come here in the first place? Isn\u2019t it because they think Australia is better than where they\u2019ve come from? Otherwise they\u2019d have no reason to migrate. And if they believe Australia to be better, of course they\u2019d want to protect the country to which they moved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But many reject these simple facts and instead prefer to claim Australia is a racist country \u2013 and that One Nation and its supporters typify that institutional racism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Racists like Mr Prasad, apparently.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
