It's been five years since I began working as a nurse here in Canada. I enjoy using Instagram for fun and entertainment, and one day I linked with a Chinese user. The guy was amazing and informed me that he was into binary trading and that if I invested a small amount of money—say, $4,000—I would have enough money in a year to purchase a home and a medical facility. In due course, I made a choice to invest, but after six months when I tried to withdraw, I was asked for more. Throughout this time, he encouraged me to keep investing. I had already invested $100,000 USD with him on his broker platform because we were in a relationship, which gave me confidence in him. However, it was too late to realize I had been scammed after he successfully ripped me off and put me in a debt of $180,000. USD This really stunned me, and I wasn't feeling well at all. This experience devastated me because I put so much faith in someone and this is what I received in return. After speaking with prominent IT professionals, I was referred to Richard Pryce wizard, which helped me retrieve the money I had spent with the false broker. I am incredibly appreciative of Richard Pryce's wizard assistance. I'm glad I was able to recover the money I mistakenly invested. I'm applauding Richard Pryce Wizard for their great achievement, To reach out via email at richardprycewizard2016@gmail.com, and thank me later. or whatsapp:+1 (614) 963-6517
1. Too many rude migrants from China and India
2. High cost of living
3. Depressingly bad dating scene. Impossible to find a date here if you aren't white or a celebrity.
4. Nothing to do and you need a car to get around.
5. Racist locals that are tough to make friends with / don't like outsiders.
Extremely depressed here and I can't wait to leave.

Your experience of any place will be shaped by your own interaction with it.
I can't say I've noticed the Xenophobic outbursts. I don't even know what an Eshay is.
I have young children and feel comfortable and safe in Perth.
Perth is a great city to live in. Usually Sydney or Melbourne would take the stage. But perth should also be reconised..
But i warn that there are some scrawny little pigs going out through the streets..
Eshays.. Eshays are just dumb wannabe gangsters who think they're cool and tough but cant do nothing.. they legit look like bums.. worse of all. They are all over Australia..
But they shouldnt be a hassle since they cant fight or stand up for themselves..
The lack of positive, meaningful second nation culture or identity is a huge issue. The Aussie culture claims to be to ‘be a good bloke’ and ‘look after your mates’ - but it isn’t executed in the right way unfortunately. The end result is just pure nepotism. Generally speaking the only way for West Aussies to really establish an identity is via their wealth/status/postcode and people lose their minds trying to achieve that. You’ll find there is no relatively deep, ‘meaning of life’, alternative thinking from anybody. The mantra is Capitalise, buy property and die. To the detriment of who the f cares! I need my identity! My pool and my pick up truck! You’ll also notice Aussies are obsessed with ‘buying a piece of land’ - in other cultures we might say we’re building a home or developing a property but for Aussies the emphasis is always on buying a piece of land. Interesting wording I always think.
In such a new (second nation) country there are no deep rooted traditions, few extensive Australian family trees, little inherited religious/spiritual ideology to live by. Other cultures garner an identity via their social class, their place in history or even their ideology. These structures don’t really exist in Perth - wealth and status is King/God. The lack of morality when it comes to attaining that wealth and status is nasty and jaw dropping but only confirms this desperate scramble for a wealthy identity. There’s a feeling of ‘I’ll show the world what a bunch of supposed criminals can do’.
People mention that Perth has a boring ‘monoculture’. There is little creativity, expression, willingness to be unique, to step outside of the Perth prototype of a human existence. But why? Nobody can understand why nothing diverse or interesting ever takes off? Because to be different is a cardinal sin in Perth. Because anybody who doesn’t fit the mould is a threat to that slowly developing Aussie identity and must be targeted and bullied into submission. You can almost see the cogs turning when they encounter something new. ‘This isn’t what we know, I don’t understand this, this is a threat to us. Time to ostracise, bully and belittle.’
On the topic of racism, the easiest (yet most lethal) way to build bonds and allegiances with one another is via collective hatred of something or someone else. The lack of interest/fear of the wider world means that certain Perthites are fairly uncultured and often use Xenophobia and racism as a social bonding exercise. Not all - but many. Second Nation Western Australians are so effing lucky they are white. They love to dog whistle bad behaviour from the indigenous/black community - an unimaginative attempt to then justify their racism towards them. Reinforcing the idea that it’s okay to ostracise them. Oldest trick in the book. The emphasis on division further strengthens their supreme bonds to one another. You’ll note that for obvious reasons Western Australians tend to direct their Xenophobia/Racism towards the nations with the strongest sense of identity (Brits/Asians/Africans). This conveniently diverts attention away from their own. Again... old tricks. Many immigrants have experienced tribalism, bullying and Xenophobia from insecure Aussies.
I am willing to bet money that if Claire isn’t from the tourist board, she is a white Western boomer. I’ve no doubt that Claire may have had a good experience in Perth for those reasons. I myself fall into that category and was treated fairly well (when not being randomly verbally abused) but unfortunately I can’t ignore the treatment of ‘outsiders’ and don’t want to be part of the club so to speak. If you can’t bear the obsession with money, a superior race etc, don’t live in Perth or please just accept that it is what it is - it’s all far too deep rooted and won’t change for generations yet, if ever.
promptly report racial abuse, discrimination or vilification to relevant authorities, if you or anyone you know are subjected to it.
