Effectively, any cultural celebration is embraced with open arms. Be it chinese new year, international food festivals, international wine festivals, a latin culture fest, a greek culture fest, a spanish fiesta, an indian curry cookoff, if you can think of any type of foreign celebration, we're into it like crazy.
But of course, every year without fail, when australia day comes around, the newspapers declare us racist, and the general populace whinge about flag wearing bogans. How dare we dress up and celebrate our own country!

Removal of some superflous commas. As my English teacher used to say "He who puts a comma after time, place or condition will cry aloud to Mama as he sinks to perdition". Sometimes this rule may be bent a little as in the sentence "every year without fail" as there is a time and a condition in quick succession so a wee pause is welcome here to let both of those concepts to gel before proceeding. Also the final item in a list separated by commas does not need to end with a comma but to improve flow, a particle such as "or" or "and" helps the smooth flow. For example "Ales, lagers, stouts and porters are available"
I think some Americans look cool, like the chick below. If I ever go there, I won't go to Disneyland, I'll go to the real heart of America - places like West Baltimore (The Wire) or even Camden New Jersey, voted the worst place in the USA.
