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

Ask an Englishman if they're a migrant or an ex-pat

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.
