As a 'clog wog', Australians didn't know I was a migrant, so they confided their racism (www.sbs.com.au)

I was born in Europe and it also annoys me that some people who immigrated around the same time as this lady, such as my family, now criticise and stereotype newer immigrants as if they've forgotten what their experience was like. It's like now we can be with the 'kool kids' and can bully someone else 🙄

I was born in burwood but i will absolutely go fucking feral on anyone talking shit about immigrants and refugees

My mother's side of the family literally came here because being white redheads in Australia before the advent of airconditioning was still preferable to living as irish in Ireland under british rule. Some came later due to the famine.

Tell me, how the fuck is that any different to modern tales.
