White Australian here, with ILR for over 20 years. I can’t tell you how many times people have moaned to be about immigrants and, when I respond with “excuse me, I’m an immigrant”, tell me I’m one of the “good immigrants”. Translation: you’re white and your first language is English, so we like you

Exactly! I often wonder how many Brits living abroad consider themselves immigrants there. Not many, I guess! Also how many think it necessary to learn the language? Some do need to, or think it correct to do so, but some of those have been accused of "going native" I believe!!
