I would question if Australians are so racist why we would need to seek comfort in discussing our racism with strangers. Surely we’d just all be discussing it openly amongst ourselves.
We don’t have a job crisis here: our unemployment rate is lower than the US and UK and significantly lower than Canada and the EU. You may well have heard those claims, but there are racists who will make those unwarranted claims regardless of the country.
I’ve never heard kiwis being described as rough and rowdy (or rough and ready, as we say here). We do give them a bit of shit because they talk funny but that goes both ways.
