In a press conference announcing his retirement from Test cricket shortly before the Sydney Test, Pakistani batsmen Uzman Khawaja deigned, not for the first time, to lecture Australians on diversity.
Far-left Pakistan-born Muslim cricketer Usman Khawaja has ranted about racism while announcing his retirement from the Australian team, which he has referred to as “very White”.

The disdainful response from the Australian public is fitting. Khawaja has been granted access to the wealth and toil of Australia, a top level sportsball career well into his late 30’s, a White wife and a multi-million dollar property portfolio.
He repays us by preparing to become a well paid member of the professional busybody class, and a living embodiment of the meme.
His complaints of unfair treatment are groundless. He is poor runner between wickets, and so lazy a fielder that he spends hours off the pitch. He is just one among a rotating roster of good batsmen who have been unable to nail down a permanent spot in the Australian Test side.
This brings us to examine why Australia’s Test batting line-up has been a revolving door for the last couple of decades, in contrast to the well established line-ups of the decades before. The primary culprit is T20 cricket, in particular the big money which lures the world’s best cricketers to the Indian domestic T20 competition.
The Indian “market” has done to Test batting technique and temperament what the Chinese “market” has done to Western manufacturing. Consequently, batting collapses are now commonplace. Groundsmen who fail to prepare complete runways masquerading as cricket pitches are criticised by batsmen who cannot survive against a moving ball.
This in turn leads us examine why on earth Glenn Maxwell has not at least been included in the rotating roster of Australian Test batsmen. He is quite clearly the most skilful of Australia’s ODI and T20 batsmen, and the kind of character who performs at his best in the most dire of circumstances.
When in 2016 I made the case for Maxwell’s inclusion in Australia’s Test side, many sportsball fans objected on the grounds that he lacked the technique and temperament. My point has since been made multiple times over. Aside from Steve Smith, practically every other batsman in the country lacks the technique and temperament for Test cricket.
Had Maxwell been allowed anywhere close to the 88 Tests played by Khawaja, he doubtless would have failed multiple times, however he would have likely smashed the Test batting record set by Brian Lara, dug Australia out of multiple holes and left us with more enduring memories than the fleeting one day versions of cricket allow.
This in turn brings us to the subject of why we even have a Pakistani, whose deepest desire is apparently to see more people who look like him play in the national team, batting for Australia in the first place. Even were Khawaja a competent fielder, and genuinely humbled by the honours and riches heaped upon him, he would not belong in the Australian Test side for the simple fact that he is not Australian.
More fundamentally, even if the entire population of the Asian subcontinent were polite, honest, intelligent, intelligible, cleanly and their “food” edible, they would not belong here because they are not us.
Many White people still insist that they do not care about race. The petulance from Khawaja is merely the latest demonstration that every other race/ethnic group on the planet takes race very seriously indeed, and we are going to be forced sooner rather than later to care about it a great deal.
This in turn brings us to the fact that millions of Indians and Chinese people live in Australia. They are very consciously colonists, not immigrants. Regardless of whether or not an inevitable Australian nationalist government sends them home, the Chinese and Indian states will ultimately come to blows over Australia’s resources, regardless of our best efforts to bribe the Americans to help us.
It is for this reason that the policy of remigration is anything but an extreme position, and it is why I maintain that Australia’s leading nationalist figures are unmitigated moderates.
With or without ClownWorld baiting, a war is coming which will make every other war in human memory pale in comparison. If we’re fortunate, civilisation will not take 1000 years to reemerge. If God blesses us, we will be able to fight it entirely on our own terms. Doing so without the presence of millions of foreigners on Australian soil will be one less trauma for our children and grandchildren to endure.
Aside from continuing the political struggle, the best thing we can do is get our spiritual house in order.
