But then, i've had to deal with my fair share of racist skinheads at work. Some fascist came in and was ordering a meal. He had a pretty thick accent and my Chinese friend couldn't understand him, so i came along and took over. Once she'd wandered away, he started muttering rubbish about how 'this should be a job for Australian kids, not
them, but people like you, am i right, friend?'.
I was utterly disgusted by this man. So it was quite satisfying when i replied back to him that i wasn't Australian, but British. The smile dropped off his face. My Chinese friend then arrived with his food and a big grin on her face and stood right next to me. He snatched the bag off her and walked out saying something about '

disgusting' while we tried not to laugh....
I can only hope the rest of Australia isn't like this, otherwise i may just change my mind on living in what seems to be an otherwise pleasant land.
