She did not witness the shooting incident and she has been beating up the media attention.

And even in this microcosm you have the differences. My wife is a Kiwi, but of Malaysian Chinese origin and she detests the way other 'long-term- Kiwis get a bad rap because of the behaviour of newly-arrived Mainland Chinese.Originally Posted by Johnny Longprong
However, you are right, Chinese generally integrate and marry outside of their group a lot quicker than most other non-European migrants. (Also, religion is no barrier to this)

You mean 'Kings Cross Slappers'?
Until 1973 Australia had a white-only immigration policy, so the term used mainly as a racial slur in Britain was applied to ethnic European immigrants of the post-WWII "populate or perish" era. By now it has greatly lost its sting, and many ethnic Australians have reclaimed it as a jocular term, with some cleverly riffing on it (e.g. 'clog wog' for a Dutchman, 'frog wog' for a Frenchman). Since the 70s, the wog label has been extended to include newer immigrants arriving from the Middle East and other parts of Asia, and many have come to identify strongly with it, facing resistance from more assimilated European wogs who harbor racist and anti-Muslim attitudes. The term is almost completely unknown in the United States and Canada, but in Britain it remains extremely offensive, somewhat akin to nigger.

Wog is in the UK usually regarded as an offensive slang word referring to dark skinned, non-white people from Africa or Asia. The origin of the term is uncertain. Many dictionaries say "wog" possibly derives from the Golliwogg, a blackface minstrel doll character from a children's book published in 1895. An alternative is that "wog" originates from Pollywog, a maritime term for someone who has not crossed the equator. Attempts to derive "wog" from such phrases as "Worthy Oriental Gentleman", "Working On Government Service"[1] (digging the Suez Canal), "White Oriental Gentleman" or "Western Oriental Gentleman" are however considered backronyms.
The use of the word is discouraged in Britain, and most dictionaries refer to the word with the caution that it is derogatory and offensive slang.
It is used against dark skinned people, not Europeans
although the term "he thinks wogs begin at Calais" was a jibe against Churchill

^ Are you trying to curry favour with Butterfly, Doc?
Don't you mean to say "if there's one thing that centuries of empire have taught the English it's that darkies aren't chinks.Nope, it's from golliwog. In England a wog is a darkie and if there's one thing that centuries of empire have taught the English it's that darkies aren't orientals.
Really, the standard of casual racism around here...

Looper what's a 'vox pop' I not understand?
Queens English please, you know it makes sense.
It is short for vox populi, the people's voice . . . in this case it refers to getting 'ordinary' people's opinions.
^ OI! We can speak Greek, Italian, Hindi Punjabi, Vietnamese, Mandarin, Arabic . . .
English? Well, that's another story.
