Comedian Brandi Denise has described Aussies as rude and dismissive and concluded that they ‘don’t like Americans’ after a visit down under.
In a video posted to Instagram, the US comedian and actress began a summary of her trip to Australia with praise for the culinary scene.
‘First off, every meal I had was good,’ she said.
But Denise said she had a negative experience when it came to the comedy shows she performed in Melbourne.
‘I felt like people were trying to make me feel small,’ she explained.
‘Like they were just being rude, dismissive, trying to shrink me in size, and I was like “Dang, they really do not like Black people out here”.
‘Once I got into my second and third show, I started to realise that it’s not that they don’t like Black people, they don’t like Americans.
‘And then I met an American out there and she actually told me it was so hard for her to make friends in Australia that she started to pretend she was from Canada.’

Denise added that ‘they don’t even like us no more… We are the butt, we are the international butt of jokes’.
‘I don’t know how I got on this reality show but I want to get off.
‘I did not get cast to be on trashy TV of the international world.’
Other Americans were supportive of Denise’s post and shared similar experiences.
‘t’s been like this for a long time. I met one of my closest friends who’s from the Netherlands in the mid 2000s and back then she told me the world was laughing at us,’ one said.
‘To be fair Aussies have never liked Americans. It’s not a new thing,’ quipped another.
‘Everywhere I’ve travelled is anti-American. Most the time because ya’ll are doing the wrong thing and being obnoxious about it,’ a third said.
‘Have lived there for eight years and get insulted on a daily basis,’ another American added.
‘Daughter can’t get a job because they won’t hire Americans.’
Denise is known for her roles in the TV series Power and Power Book II: Ghost.
