Talk:History of Asian Australians

North African and Middle Eastern
According to Australian Standard Classification of Cultural and Ethnic Groups (ASCCEG) the follwing is a list of ethnic groups belonging to the category of North African and Middle Eastern: ARAB: Algerian, Egyptian, Iraqi, Jordanian, Kuwaiti, Lebanese, Libyan, Moroccan, Palestinian, Saudi Arabian, Syrian, Tunisian, Yemeni, Bahraini, Emirati, Omani, Qatari, Arab, nec JEWISH: Jewish Peoples of the Sudan: Bari, Darfur, Dinka, Nuer, South Sudanese, Sudanese, Peoples of the Sudan, nec Other North African and Middle Eastern: Berber, Coptic, Iranian, Kurdish, Turkish, Assyrian, Chaldean, Mandaean, Nubian, Yezidi, Other North African and Middle Eastern, nec So according to this, the above Ethnic Groups are NOT Asian Australian and instead should be classified as North African and Middle Eastern respectfully.

Proposed Structure of Article
Instead of having the histories being divided by ethnic group/ ancestry perhaps we change it to this:


 * Pre-history migration (2300 BCE–2000 BCE)
 * Pre-colonial era (1627–1787 CE)
 * Early arrivals
 * Colonial era (1788–1900 CE)
 * Indentured labour (1848 to 1853)
 * Gold rush (1850s and 1860s)
 * Since Federation (1901-present)
 * During the White Australia policy (1901-1973 CE)
 * World War II (1941-1945)
 * Post-war immigration
 * The Colombo Plan
 * Since the end of the White Australia policy (1973-1999)
 * Phasing out of exclusionary policies
 * Mass migration of Indochinese refugees, 1970-80s
 * Settlement of Lao people in Australia, 1990s
 * Re-migration and multiculturalism

Moving of some content to "Asian Immigration to Australia"
I think that immigration is mention too much throughout the article I will be moving most of this to the article Asian immigration to Australia. I think this is the appropriate response, otherwise it becomes a long list. AverageFraud (talk) 11:03, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
