A lot of my ancestors thought nothing of settling on a continent that nature had not assigned them to.
I realise that. Some of my cousins have moved abroad due to the need of finding work which pays for food to keep them alive. I can't be sure but as we were all raised the same, I'm pretty sure they didn't whinge and whine that their host country was racist towards them being Poms and Limeys.
Perhaps because Australia was colonised by the British?! And government policy was for so long based on the idea of white supremacy. And in some ways still is.
British governments weren't the only governments to colonise other countries. The Dutch discovered Australia (which they named "New Holland") in the 1600s. They could have added it to their other colonies that they had in the Americas, Asia, Africa, but they didn't because the 300 mile coastline that they chartered was a wilderness where nothing grew, thus they didn't think it was worth colonising.
