A true identity, fully articulated
Ross Amorelli; 6/5/08
I am wondering what makes one “Australian”. I was born here, raised here and absolutely love the country I live in. Is this enough to make me “Australian”? Apparently not. This identity crisis has come about due to a most unfortunate incident on Anzac Day. I was enjoying a game of two-up and a few quiet beers at a local pub, when the incident - involving a misplaced chair leg and a spilt beer - landed me toe-to-toe with a large, sandy-haired and self-professed “Aussie”. After a few heated words, I was told to “Piss off out of my country back to the dirty woghole you come from”. I decided to speak to the management about having the accident-prone lout ejected. With this done, I sat back down to ponder his statement.
