For some that’s easier to handle, than it is for others. As an Aussie though, you should find you’ll cop a lot less grief form the majority of Americans than you would coming from most other countries. Australians and Americans share a lot more in common than the sh!t we give each other, would suggest.
Be respectful, don’t be the whiny, pedantic, anally retentive Aussie and appreciate the US for its good qualities and you can have an amazing life here.
Can you elaborate on what you mean by you’ll always be a foreigner? This country (US) is made up of foreigners. If you embrace American values, are an overall cool person to be around, you’ll be treated as American as apple pie. If you’re going to constantly complain about our country, tell us how the government pays for your healthcare back home etc etc then yup, you may be made to feel like a foreigner by some. Now move to NY or LA, and anti-American rhetoric will have you fitting right in.
