Petty nationalism can be so amusing a game to play.
"So-called"? It was the policy, nothing "so-called: about it.

You assume that there were no Chinese in Australia prior to the introduction of the White Australia Policy? Or during? Or after?

Please feel free to play petty nationalism, you introduced it so go ahead and play solitaire with it, interest here <0
