As a migrant, I probably feel more at home here than I did in my "home" country as I'm not exactly white either. Less racist (or at least more open racism rather than the backstabbing kind and nobody asks me "where are you from" here - which always has connotations)

As almost everyone here is a migrant, the whole "where are you from" falls on its head pretty quick - which is also why One Nation and those who are anti-immigrant just come across as fuckwits.
