Hey all, I hope I’m posting to the right place. My gf and I are both trans women considering immigrating to New Zealand from the US. We both have green list careers so we’re not too worried about eligibility but we are wondering if we would be welcome/fit in in NZ.

Everything I’ve seen or heard in media makes NZ look about 1000 times better than the US. Every country has their problems but from my limited viewpoint NZ looks pretty great. We’d appreciate any advice or perspective you’d care to share. Thanks in advance.

    There is a general feeling that chinese people are the reason our houses cost so much. They blame the chinese for their economic woes.

    Also most people think Chinese people are rude and greedy and selfish.

    There is a significant number of people who believe that if you are of chinese ethnicity you might be an agent of the Chinese government. Maybe a spy, maybe some sort of a agitprop agent, maybe a secret police etc. This is especially true if you have joined any kind of a chinese club or alliance.

    Those are the stereotypes you’ll have to deal with.
