#Australia

I'm a migrant.
As far as I can can see everyone but the Aboriginals and TI folk are from somewhere else too.

So when I hear that #WhereAreYouFrom? is being used by non-Aboriginal Australians to try and exclude newer arrivals from participation I shake my head and think "Racism is still doing it's crappiness."

Get a bit of perspective you drongos.

Why hasn't *AI* been used so that autocorrect learns from all the corrections we undo? Time for it to learn that I no longer speeek suthern. ( but then, why do so many people ask me where I'm from? ) #ai #AutoCorrect #WhereAreYouFrom

How do you say Aunt?

Ask me where I’m really from and I’ll tell you where you can really go…

I’m watching the ‘where are you really from’-gate with a lot of interest. I have been asked in various contexts, with various intents for as long as I have lived in the UK. I realise I always will. Most people, even if their intentions are perfectly genuine (healthy curiosity), don’t know how uncomfortable this question can make people feel. It places an identity label on us that we might not be aligned with. No one has to identify with the place they were born in or want to have a conversation about it. Sometimes a simple ‘if you don’t mind me asking’ can make a whole lot of difference. And be prepared to just take ‘it’s complicated’ for an answer and move on #whereareyoufrom #whereareyoureallyfrom

Seems like a good time to repost the funny & gloriously pointed #WhereAreYouFrom game by #bbc3… #SusanHussey https://youtu.be/RU_htgjlMVE
