It only takes a room of Americans for the English and Australians to realise how much we have in common.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In Australia, we cling on to whatever culture we have. We're such a multicultural country.
I'd say the majority of my friends are Australians, although I have some good American friends, but I think with Aussies, we just get it. We don't take each other too seriously, which is a relief.
I grew up on cricket and I think Australian kids are getting so Americanized, you know?
I think Brits probably feel that Americans are more like us than vice-versa, if that makes sense. Because we get everything American over here in Britain, but yet there are things which are staunchly English that you guys don't have.
I see lots of differences between Australians and Americans - but as mothers, I think we're pretty much alike!
We try to magnify the difference between Americans and the English. In real life they like the same music and dress the same. It's really much more similar than anyone thinks or how we show it.
On the same line of reasoning, if Australians were to be Australians, or rather if Australians were as separate from any other nation as Australia from any other land, there would be no jealousy between them on England's account.
Australia has an increasingly multicultural society.
Americans are a quarter of a billion people who have almost nothing in common except for the fact they've been told they have lots in common.
You know, every country needs another country to mock, and Australians seem to be pretty good at impersonating American people. Maybe it's because all the movies and music and TV you see there is from America, so we just have the knack for it.
