Whether you like it or not people will attempt to understand you by the words you write.

I can talk about what I percive as Anglo australian culture as much as I like, but if you feel it makes me a redneck for doing so then go ahead, like I said before and I'll say again - I don't really care.
You are defining culture by race. Culture is independent of race. You can be black, red, yellow, orange or purple and be born here and live and be 2nd generation and be proud to be an Australia and be allowed to say you are a part of Australian culture. Such racialism, when it is not needed, is behind the riots because both parties are unable to look past their racial prejudices. They are either anglo (white )Australians or leb Australians or whatever. People need to get over going into their shells pretending to preserve some kind of racial 'culture'. Whether they are white or Arab/leb or whatever.
If are suggesting that you are going to protect 'Anglo (white) Australian culture' then it would be reasonable to say that you are no different than the people who you complain about. Those immigrants who choose to not integrate because they want to keep their racial purity. You can't implore certain groups to integrate and but then suggest that you want to preserve a racial culture. It's takes two to tango.

I don't feel the need to explain myself as, not because I'm confused as you'd like to believe, but I genuinly don't see the point anymore
You often confuse nationality, race and culture in these threads. Your posts can be read easily as racist. Especially when you define Australian culture by race. whether you are personally racist I don't know. I'm telling you how your words can be read. And whether you like it is or not you are judged by your words.

If it differs from the PC norm then it's wrong and i'm a redneck - why waste time and energy explaining what I see a my culture and a fundamental part of me, when it's constantly shot down - when I could redirect that energy into something far more productive.
You chose to post here and people do read what you have to say. You are judged on your words. If you have given up defending your views then, well, thats up to you.
I have no idea whether you are a redneck. However your words are often clearly, whether you consciously or unconsciously realise it or not, hypocritical and can be read easily as racist.
