British colonial racism was just a whole other thing. Australia was explicitly white supremicist for a long time and in the British sense that meant that everyone east of the Rhine was a bit sus and the further south or east the more sus.
It wasn’t really till the Greeks and Lebanese people started coming over during white Australia winding down that we become “some of the good ones”.
The one that always get me was the racism against Irish decendent people. Just baffling.
Truly a great country run by sane and balanced people.
