@Deglassco @[email protected] @BlackMastodon One of the many reasons Australians had to hate Americans when thy were forced on us during WWII was the overt racist, downright NAZI treatment of African American service personnel that my parents generation witnessed. Australia has its own racism problem, but it has not been the level of fascist that we witnessed then and continue to witness today. Look up the Wikipedia entry for "the Battle of Brisbane" to get an idea of how much we hated Americans.
