And at home, the only language that was ever spoken other than English was Portuguese because my mum and my grandmother... Do you know how to speak Portuguese?
I don't because I never... So we learn English from day dot because I was born in England.
I think I have a... I do have a problem with the ethnically Australian thing that you're banging on about now.
Well, because I don't think it's intellectually rigorous as a concept.
I don't think that... Like, what is an ethnic Australian language?
Yeah, we all agree that that's bullshit.
Well, Italy might be an interesting case study to bring up.
In my view, an Australian is someone who comes here because everybody came here, right?
So, you know, because even like the Brits that came here, they're ethnically British, like your parents are ethnically British, right?
Like you're talking about ethnically Australian.
I'm not sure that there is such a concept, Scott.
Sam.
Sorry, Sam.
I think I'm talking to Scott Challo.
Yeah, yeah.
But I think that, because I've heard a lot of these arguments from him too, but I think one of the issues is, and this might be why James is positing that this is a racist position for you to take, is because you're happy to include all the people, like you've got Indigenous Australians in there, but it doesn't actually make sense with your, if your definition is the people that built the institutions that make the country what it is, that wasn't Indigenous Australians.
So I feel like you're including them in because you sort of feel like you have to.
But at the end of the day, your position says that if you have brown skin like me because you came from India, it doesn't matter that you've never been to India, you've never lived there.
It doesn't matter that... Are you proud of your Indian heritage?
Well, I'll be honest, Sam, I don't even really know anything about it.
