As a proud Aussie, I thank all you wonderful Americans who love my country, even those who haven’t visited yet. You are more than welcome to come see us.👍. I’ve been to the States a couple of times and loved every second. ❤❤

[@Jinxx9081]

I want to go to Australia so much. I think one of the reasons we love Australia so much is because Steve Irwin and his family did so much positive representation. I now love watching Robert Irwin follow in his dad’s footsteps. He came to America and went looking for diamondback rattlesnakes and I was like “this guy is so cool and brave. I need to visit Australia immediately” 😂

[@palpaladin315]

The marriage things true. My first wife is Japanese, wanted both cultural weddings in Australia & Japan (guess how much a wedding Kimono costs?). Then her younger sister got married, to a man 9yrs older than me (yep, that) - Wanted the same thing! My father-in-law and I just went and got drunk. Then my brother-in-law rocks up "Why did we do this!" - We nearly spat our beer all over the bar! 😆

[@geerad7237]

Yep, as much Americans say they love Australia, not only they never been, a lot of them love it but never go. 🤣

[@michaelhoffmann2891]

Show them a photo of an Australian spider. Preferably a Huntsman. Tell them "that's generally what we have in our house at any time (until the cats get their paws on it)". Instant turn-off. "omg, you're from Australia? that's so awesome, I would love to...

Many years ago my wife and I, British immigrants to Australua(Poms), went to a pub at the end of Sydney's China town. There was karaoke on and this bug Maori guy got up. What did he sing ? New York New York.

[@chookinathunderstorm3446]

Ronny Chieng was already a master of sarcasm before he came to Australia and that is partly why Aussies immediately loved his style. The added difference being that Ronny brought the Asian (from his home territory at least) clenched knuckle crankiness with it. Aussies love him even more for that. Our Aussie sarcasm, I'd say, is just like a casual shove to the shoulder, front or back, of varying degrees. Along with a pointed look and a drawled pointed word or two, sometimes twenty, tops. Ronnie brings the familiar Asian full body and psyche, continual pummelling with hands, words and eyes all having direct bruising contact.

[@JamesLamb]

Weddings are a crazy over-the-top social status symbol for both women and families.

[@kaiberberich1]

Ronnie, your cultural bonds with Australia ... explains a lot about your comedic style ... I was wondering that with your wonderful sarcasm on the Daily show... Also makes you a fair dinkum Aussie - no matter where you're from ... We're similar to the Hotel California ... you can check out any time you like - but you can never really leave Australia ... Glad to have you onboard mate !!

[@vee8213]

We love Ronny

[@ian59]

American's love Australia because we're siblings in that we were both born out of England literally exporting the poorer caste.

[@sylviaplath8263]

You mean the criminal caste.

[@michaelmcintyre5719]

Well, sort of @ian59, though with a few rather important distinctions: US Foundational culture derived from the Reformation and its immediate Puritan aftermath (and later its respect for ‘experts’ from its enormous number of C19 German immigrants), while Australia derived it’s Foundational European cultural and political influences from the Enlightenment, consequently giving us much stronger and more critical bullshit detectors than most Americans (according to Robert Hughes); our social values from the Catholic Irish (according to Oliver MacDonagh) as well as the English Non-Conformists (Stuart Piggin); and the concept of Empire Loyalty (similar to Canada and NZ, but demonstrably not the US!!) as it was just entering its greatest Imperial phase (according to Manning Clarke as well as Stuart Macintyre). We more or less share a language as well as a similar material culture, but we’re a very long way apart in fundamental social values: Australians are mostly Communitarian (Liberal/Socialist/Communist according to those very many Americans who are politically illiterate), while the vast majority of Americans believe in the concept of ‘Individualism’. I provide this rather long historical/philosophical ramble because so many Americans seem to see us as their younger cousins: honestly, we really aren’t.

[@robyncaddell5269]

Except Americans got religious fundamentalist and Australians got criminals ….. guess who got the better deal! It isn’t America!

[@stephanieyee9784]

Nope. We are Not sibs. Not cousins. Not family at all. There is very little we have in common apart from our old connections to Britain and the English language. Apart from the British sending their unwanted, unloved, unwashed to our shores. The "New World" got British slaves, convicts and indentured servants along with some military (some quite unsavoury) and a boatload of religious outcasts. We got convicts and the military.

[@billygoatgruff3536]

To any American reading this what you're seeing in this comment section is what I like to call Australia's 'colonial inferiority complex' in which Aussies will desperately try to differentiate themselves from the UK and/or USA through putting downs and frankly pathetic justifications to appear superior, and more importantly, distinct from the UK and/or USA. ~An Australian who's actually experienced life in all 3 countries.

Ronnie may not have visited Sydney or Melbourne recently, but 'white' people probably won't be the first thing Americans see in either city, and English will fade into the mix as soon as you clear Immigration. Brisbane is a better option if that's your thing and it's ONLY 7,200 air miles from San Diego ;)

[@JamesLamb]

Funny - an Asian woman on TikTok said there is more social mixing in Brisbane than in Sydney. She says in Sydney it's either an Asian woman with an old white dude, or the rest of the Asians are in the Asian part of town. Maybe she was in the Eastern suburbs. Downtown Sydney you'll see a lot of mixture, but maybe not socialising; just walking down the street.

They don't know that Britain sent ship loads of white British indentured servants ie slaves to the colonies. Most Americans do not know, believe or recognise the Fact that the Spanish were the first Europeans to permanently colonise North America. The first settlement was in Florida, St Augustine. The bottom half of what is now the USA was Spanish, and by default Mexican.
