rich-joy	Origins: Ching Chong Chinaman Song (70* d)	RE: Lyr Req: Ching Chong Chinaman Song	09 Jan 21
re Zelda's post about being looked down upon as a "New Australian" : My best schoolfriends in the 60s were Dutch migrants :) However, my great Aunt Annie, (Australian born of English heritage), had TWO legal marriages to Chinese men, in the early 1900s in Western Australia! This was most definitely not a time or place of "multiculturalism" acceptance and anti-Chinese sentiment was commonly expounded in the Sunday newspaper, especially accusing the Chinese of depravity "with our young women" in the opium dens. (see TROVE website). Sadly, she died before I found out about her (still plenty of family secrets!) and also sadly, AFAIK, had no children. I would so love to have met and known her. R-J
