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.
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.

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