I reckon you hear worse aimed at Victorians up in Queensland, than you do at the English in a Anti part of Wales.

It Doesn't bother me much though.

Do you call selling drugs... Running the nightlife? The Yakuza are the ones running the nightlife... the Nigerians are just used as peddlers.

Mate don't believe everything you read on here. I've never heard Queenslanders say anything nasty about Victorians in all the years I've lived here. Yeh, banter during footy season but that's all it is, banter

Yes, things have changed heaps since. You wouldn't recognise it.

I've been there and copped it..... every single visit. Mostly on arrival at rural pubs when they've seen my Vic Registered car.

The two worst places, were Goodawindi, and one suprisingly in NSW Port Macquarie.... I almost got in a fight with the PM one as my Son was with me and he was only 7 . It has never happened in Brisbane, or Sydney though.

Australian's aren't racist. They hate everybody equally.

Which pales in comparison to what the English say about the Welsh.

Doesn't bother me either but I've upset a few English with my return serve

Nothing like a few generalisations is there

Stupid people say stupid things which smart people ignore

I don't mind being called a mexican. Just a bit of harmless fun.

It's no different to calling Queenslanders, banana-benders which has got to be one of the best monikers around.
