i'm thinking of going to australia for a while, but apparently they're really racist and patronising towards english people?:$ this is from someone that went there a while back, i'm hoping things have changed!
i am sick of people asking about or making comments to "aussies", all that word means is you live in australia. we are not all the same , just like anywhere else you get good and bad people.
Dude the only way to find out if someone (note I said someone not the entire country) is racist is by meeting them. I've been to Australia and met some of the best people in the world there and not a racist person around.
We went to Adelaide and the only Sydney Well alot of my family are over there living so we spent alot of time hanging around with them, but when we where alone, we did alot of the tourist type things, shopping, pubs usual stuff like that. In Sydney it was different because its huge and theres alot to see, so you can do the tourist type thing but you might need someone who knows the area with ya lol If I where you though go and see what you think, you will meet some excellent people, its a big country with alot of people in it, theres aloways something to do there
australians are absolute fiends , we eat babies you know when we're not wrestling crocodiles and shooting backpackers in the outpack after luring them to some fucked up lair half car junkyard and half torture chamber. you probably won't like here anyway, its too hot.
[font="] You and your friend are the racist ones. You assume that most Australians are "really racist and patronising" (and don't pretend you don't when you use the term "they're" to describe 20 million individuals). When you come here I think you will find that Australians are racist. Not because you are English (and not because Australian's actually are racist) but because you will seek out examples to confirm your own racial biases (and disregard examples that would bolster favourable schemas about Australians). Chances are that any Australian that might mistreat you will do so because of your own actions (and not because of embedded racism directed against the English). [/font]
Surely it is no different to calling Brits "pommies" etc? Infact, the word was even used on an Australian soap, which is a bit un-PC.
and is this also relevant regarding Aboriginal people and Aboriginal descendants? Because I would certainly love to go and visit the country that I am supposed to descend from.
I mainly don't like your pommie accent, you lot speak so fast I can't understand a word you all sayin. So when I find myself talking to a pom, I just nod & pretend I understand you, while trying to sneak away as fast as possible. I also hate english TV shows, It's just so snobby & boring (the only good show being little brittan). Other than that I don't have a problem with you. Sure there are some Aussies who hate poms, but you get that anywhere. Poms are just people we all laugh & joke about. You get over it when you find out that more Australians hate yanks than they do the english.
wow, you went and chose the most unintelligent/annoying television programme in the UK. *shakes head*. I suppose you're still a child though. Definately go and check out Shameless or Skins, they're a bit more like actual working class life and they're funny. Although there's a lot of slang, so you may need you're Brit slang dictionary out.
Hey, Fuck you, fool! I ain't no child! There's tons of people who like that show. It's better than ''The Bill". I've never heard of Skins & Shameless is too fucken wierd, it ain't funny one bit. I more likey need a translator than a dictionary.
I hardly think anyone watches the Bill these days...it's like saying that all Australians watch Neighbours and Home and Away. As for Shameless, you just don't know proper humour when you're hit in the face with it. Little Britain is mindless, unintelligent bollocks for young teenagers.
I never knew aussies hated english well i like them. anyway I'm totally hooked on skins i hope they show it in australia. never saw shameless.
Grrrr.... I HATE the way you poms use the word "Bollocks" instead of normal words like 'crap' or 'bullshit'. At least you callin me a teenager now instead of 'some dumb child'. Little Brittan is funniest shit ever! Just about everybody I know loves that show, Adults included! Shameless is only about about these fucked up brit familys fighting & that Drunk Dumbass dude is always doing stupid things, *Yawn*
the poms i've met whilst over here seem to fall into 2 catagories, idiots and people trying to forget they even lived the uk. the worst of the lot seem to the half educated savages from the upper middle class private schools everyone is so desperate to get their kids into, they really are the most oleaginous, supercillious bunch of little twits whose only aim in life is to go back and join the army to be an "officer" to kill peasants in foreign lands.
