      To be fair a lot of white people in Australia absolutely abhor the yanks, culturally at least. And not just “haha weak beer and worse version of football”.

      Any time a business tries to introduce tipping and the local Facebook page erupts in Anti American Aktion. They’ll fall for similar Murdoch pushed myths, they’ll even believe Qanon/Qanon adjacent conspiracy theories, but my god olmate down at the pub will body shame the penis size of someone he sees driving a Ford 150 Yank Tank at the pub to his mates.

      One of the regulars at the pub I worked before I moved back to China was having a rant about how the US better not drag Australia into yet another war in Ukraine or the Middle East.

      There’s a real unique love-hate relationship with the Yanks

      Yeah. I get that feeling too. Like in ten years something it’ll just be just as bad. I’ve noticed white Australians are way more racist than I expected.

        In the eastern states the further north you go, the more racist they are. Plus in Perth it’s full of white flight South Africans.
