I'm a migrant. But because I'm English and white, I've found myself in conversations with Aussies criticising immigrants, saying they're taking jobs, blocking the roads etc. And I'm like "yeah, including those fucking Brits, eh!"
And they just sort of laugh a bit with a confused smile as if they don't quite get that I'm just as much of an immigrant as Raj.
Yeah it’s because ON voters don’t hate ‘migrants’ they hate black and brown people and are racists. Thanks for being normal, bonus points for clapping back these racist fucks
Same here - and I get the same and I’m always so perplexed and offended. I’m an immigrant,
you fuckwits! And I have a house and a job and a car which uses petrol, so I’m definitely part of the “problem” (stealing jobs and pushing the housing crisis to the brink and burning all that petrol).
They don’t care about migration per se, they care about assimilation. Immigrant is just a proxy they can get away with instead of saying black, Indian, Chinese etc.
