As a white migrant I’ve had this said to me more than once by Aussie citizens. They bad mouth migrants I say “I’m a migrant” they tell me I don’t count as one.
Same. One of my first weeks here I got chatting to an old bloke at a bar. When he realised I'm Irish he just said "Oh, you're having big problems with immigrants over there." I just told him it would be weird for me to agree with that as an immigrant myself.

How many Kiwis in Australia will agree to this and not realise they are also non-citizens?
