Comment on Australia's prime minister rejects China's claims that his country is rife with 'racism and hate crimes'

Australia has been a melting pot of nationalities for some time, and I have grown up knowing people from many different cultures. The thing I find amusing about it all is that the most racist people I know, are all immigrants or first generation Aussies. And not a few of those are from various Asian countries.

There’s a name for this kind of phenomenon that I’ve forgotten, but essentially it repeats with every wave of new migrants. They move here, get racially vilified by the existing Australian community for being different, then slowly pick up the same whiteness mentality over the next few decades so that when the next wave of migrants occur the previous wave is often among the most aggressively racist towards them.

  From chatgpt after I gave it your comment…
  
  The phenomenon you’re describing is often referred to as “ethnic succession” or “the ladder of social mobility” in the context of racial and immigrant integration.
  
  This process has been observed historically in the U.S., Canada, and the UK as well, with each generation gradually shifting its identity and aligning with majority cultural values, while still carrying the trauma or prejudice they once faced.

    Did you verify that, or did you just copy paste a machine-generated comment?

    I don’t think that’s accurate. Wikipedia’s page on ethnic succession theory describes something quite different.
