Not just against Australians. Native British people often had a sense of superiority towards 'Colonials', even white ones, as being somehow 'less civilized'. Think about the stereotype of all Australians being 'descended from criminals', for example.
Great video but yeah picking up on the Australia thing its sounding like your assuming Australia is white, this may not be what your meaning, aborigines were also dominated by the colonists too
Thanks for this.. its very helpful review for those of us who have not kept up with the terminology and main ideas of the theory.
Thank you for this video and explainer, it's been helpful!
PS i see why you highlight the year 1997 which is important -- but would add that the project of decolonization arguably hasn't finished!
What do you mean abou the superiority of British people against Australians?
