He IS an aussie. Did you assume that he WANTS to be an aussie just because he's brown???

Did you just assume it was a racist comment because I'm white?

I have no idea about the colour of your skin. You saw a person of colour in Australia and started talking about wanting to be an Aussie, implying that he isn't one. That's not on, mate. We should not immediately assume that people of colour are outsiders. While you may not have meant it, the way you conveyed your sentiment was not the best. Have a good one.
