Title: What's the perception of Australian people overseas?
Post by: bagofeyes on August 27, 2007, 12:40:16 AM: I'd like to hear your thoughts on Australian people, whether you've actually met one or not

Post by: Mr. Gundam on August 27, 2007, 12:49:14 AM: I don't view Australians as being really all that different from any other western dominantly Caucasian country. I have some relatives who are cane farmers up in Queensland. The closest actual town to them is Townsville. Stayed with them for five weeks back in the early 90's and had a great time.

Australians are not a race, they are a nationality.

Don't justify your racism with facts

Post by: drohne on August 27, 2007, 04:12:26 AM: you have annoying accents and come from a cultureless wasteland

an englishman spent a week in australia and wrote the only good australian novel

your most noteworthy cultural export is funny animals

This is mostly based on a roommate I had who was half Australian half something else (I want to say Thai but I forgot).
