I'm trying to put the best spin on this and assume he means that an identity just based on what color you are isn't a valid identity, but you're right, of course a huge influx of people with their own culture, history, and values will change the identity of the region, obviously that happens, there's no way for that not to happen

North Africa is largely Arab, not black, and historically was more closely tied to the Mediterranean world than sub Saharan Africa. Even though they're on the same continent when you look at a map, the giant desert might as well be an ocean since it acts as a geographic barrier, similar to how the Himalayas cordon off India into it's own region even though it looks like just another part of Asia if you're looking at a map with no context

>Now let international observers in to follow your 'campaign' for the next election.

why do people are so intent on speaking shit about things they don't know?

International observers are already invited for all general elections. Turkish elections are not fair, but they are free.

I don't mean to defend this guy at all but what do you mean by that? Imagine you have a very conservative country and then you have mass immigration from very Liberal countries. Of course, this would lead to conflicts wouldn't it? The same would apply the other way round. In other words, how would you define a country's identity without relying on how people living in that country think?

That was the former Federal Government the Liberal/National coalition who were voted out last year. Also state NSW Liberal party was involved with that. Assuming you’re referring to FriendlyJordies. The government in charge now is the Australian Labour Party and had nothing to do with it.
