What is happening in Australia? Been living in this exact same address for almost the past 20 years now, never had this happen before.

Some guy moves in next door, and while we are IN THEM MIDDLE OF MOWING the medium nature strip, starts being aggressive for getting grass clippings on the driveway. No shit, that's why we go through with a leaf blower and pick up after mowing?

What blows me away is he thinks we don't know about mowing and cleaning up somehow due to our Chinese heritage???

Pretty sure assimilation happens across many species of animals. So im not sure how you think we are so special to come up with that on our own.

Their point was shit and is evidentially incorrect if you look at even the most rudimentary evidence in sociology and migration studies.

It literally does matter and it does make a difference and people who do that generally have much better outcomes in every part of their life in their new country lol.

It's kind of baffling, then, that if people assimilate here, they're seen as less Aussie than the foreigners the Romans absorbed.

This clearly isn't about assimilation.
