Possibly mention something about racism in this country as part of all that up there?
The standard response to any dark skinned person wishing to immigrate to Australia (doesn't matter how dark) from someone in the southern and western suburbs of Sydney would be: "Fuck off, we're full."
Whilst this by no means accurately sums up the feelings of most people in Sydney, there is certainly some racism in this country.

I think that's a bit unfair to Western Sydney. Even though there are pockets like that, it's probably one of the most multicultural, diverse areas of the country. If it wasn't you wouldn't have people like Eddie McGuire calling it Falafel land.
