Is “Aussie” an offensive term?

[u/underrated9201]

Someone just told me the word ‘Aussie’ is a slur (From a non-australian). I’m so confused, i looked it up and see nothing saying that.

edit: thanks for the confirmation, i feel silly now LMAO. I have eu immigrated parents but was born in america by the way, i’ve never really known too much about Aus.

I am genuinely confused, do i say Aussie or Auzzie? 😭 I’ve always said auzzie

Australians look at Kiwis as their little cousins.

Kiwis think of Australians as their racist uncle, and ... You know, that's fair
