Me old grandad
is from India. Hang on, let me explain. We're Anglo-Indians. When the English came to India they married and had children with the Indians, raised them in rich households with servants, took them to colonial schools where they learned English, English customs, how to be polite and some such. You can imagine how religious my family is. Anyway due to this upbringing my grandad has a bit of a superiority complex over the native Indians. He associates mostly with other Anglo-Indians, and with the whites in his retirement village.
So it comes to no surprise that he's staunchly anti-immigrant, always complaining about the 'boat people' (a rather exaggerated issue here in Australia) and anti-Muslim. Also anti-Asian, especially the Japanese, for he was caught up in a few air raids as a child in the war. He's just been getting worse and worse lately. Amazingly no racial epithets (except for calling an Asian driver 'Mrs Wong' etc), but the way he speaks makes even the word 'Muslim' seem like an insult. There was a period where he'd point out every one he saw. Granny used to tell him off but has since given up.
And the racism's passed on to his son, who has now married an equally as racist Queenslander.

I'm not racist though, I like everyone.
Except for those goddamn kikes.

It seems pretty much thrust upon us here in QLD
I grew up not giving a damn about who I was associating with & pretty much still am that way, as long as I find them a decent sort of human being. That said, every government form I have ever filled out asks if I am of "Aboriginal or Islander descent". I would really like to know why it matters, as it is my understanding that we are all equal. Apparently some of us are more equal than others.

Hmm, never thought about that really.
Mind you guy I went to uni with got Abstudy while I got Austudy - he got more money but I was also working at the time. Lucky bastard also managed to get on very well with the ladies, but not before I'd had a fair old crack tho...
