I never got too upset by all the colonial/bartender/convict stuff that got directed aussies way while I was 10 years in blighty
there few enough groups left for your average pom to be openly racist about, so it's probably cathartic for the poor dears

don't worry, I got a never ending torrent of racist shit when I worked in Oz
Only country I ever worked in that I don't have fond memories of. It all balances out in the end.

no argument there,
it was more that UK had moved further such that there's fewer targets left, while australia is far less reconstructed and can be quite confronting for newcomers in oz until they learn the expectation is to return fire
I was actually being half-serious in that I had some quite polite bosses and colleagues in very PC places like the BBC who normally seemed petrified of saying boo to a goose work up the courage to make some crack at me, and I was genuinely "good for you, mate".
