The Australians **Mod Warning in Post #129**

I was there a few months ago & I found it an amazing place.

I would seriously consider moving there only I'm the wrong side of 30!

That is exactly what my experience was, both in the large cities and even worse in the smaller places. And if anything, the women were even worse than the men with their openly racist comments, throwing the eyes up to heaven when Asian colleagues would walk into a bar, being rude and almost refusing to serve them etc.

It may be a great country for outdoor stuff etc, but plenty other places are too, including Ireland. I do want to visit NZ and spend about a month travelling around, as I have heard nothing but positive accounts of the people, sights to see etc.

But I will be bypassing Australia. Too many ignorant arseholes to be dealing with there.

I wonder what an Australians perspective on Irish peoples views on travellers might look like?

There's always one!🙄

Treated similarly from my experience.

However on here that's nasty Australian racists.

well i mean they kind of just had this european society forced upon them and were supposed to adapt to our ways, not really fair on them. was the same in canada, all of the natives i'd see there were always drunk passed out on the streets and fighting etc.

No it isn't really but it's easy for us to judge them as Europeans who didn't have a completely different culture and way of living imposed on them in relatively recent years.

You sound like an Australian lol.

I have Australian 2nd cousins but they are 20+ years older than me due to my grandfather having children later than his sister. I couple of years ago I was speaking to one of them on Ancestry.com in the cousin match section. She replied a few times but in general I've noticed on that site that people don't really have interest in speaking with you. They are just on there for the novelty of it. I won't make the mistake of ever messaging cousin matches again.

I remember meeting an Aussie girlfriend of my cousin, he is Irish. I was impressed at how confident she was, she came to our house and chatted away like she knew us for years, id say they are in general very sure of themselves which is a great trait I think.

I married one of the fcukers.

Arrogant, opinionated, racist, boorish, rude, obnoxious, uncouth, uncultured, bigoted, and crass. But she has nice tits, so that's why I married her.

I'm glad there's never been any foreign oppression here.

I don't get the racist comments about Aussies. I lived there for a long time and yes there is a a lot of racist stuff but I find Ireland way worse. I can't spend an hour in my local or other places without hearing about foreign/black/muslim etc. We are way worse in my experience.

Yes I think it's gas Irish people are trying to take the high ground on racism. I never saw people being racially abused on the street in any country other than Ireland.

Your dead right. I have to listen to people whinging about foreigners this and immigrants that and I remind them that I spent half my life as an immigrant in Oz and they go ah sure you were grand which I think is code for you're white and speak english. I've never heard an Irish person complain about British people living here it's always the "poles/blacks/asians". I live not far from where Adam Idah is from and when theres a match on at the pub he's called the foreign lad. He's not foreign he's born and bred in Cork.
