Well in Australia, we have every colour and size here so nothing surprises us. However, I'm sure someone from overseas who would see say a Vietnamese or African background person speaking with an Australian accent would be pretty flipped out. And as for the migrating British, most of them are floating around Australia (esp West Adelaide)!

You have a lot of African blacks in Australia these days?

Rio: Plenty of Poms in Perth too, I'd say. I am always surprised to hear the sheer number of people speaking with plummy rounded vowels when I am there.
