    I don’t deny there is lots of casual racism here. I’m originally from south east asia but grew up here and experienced it from all colours of people. However, it’s definitely a lot less now that I’m older or maybe because there are many more migrants here than there was 30 years ago. Although the name thing rings true in some regards, especially with chinese/indian/muslim sounding names, a lot of times they assume they can’t speak English. I’m lucky enough that my name isn’t particularly asian sounding, and I’m sure I’ve landed job interviews in the past because of it.
