The Scanlon Foundation Research Institute interviewed more than 8,000 migrants from the fastest-growing communities — China, India, Pakistan, Nepal, the Philippines and Iraq — to examine how migrants experience belonging in Australia.
It would be interesting to see the breakdown by community. Some of those are definitely more established and less targeted and we know that migrant communities tend to be accepted by White Australian society over time, eventually adopting similar discriminatory attitudes towards more recent waves of migrants (see Southern European migrants).

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.
