Etymologie
() Historically, as the Chinese have had a presence in Australia since colonial days, there was once great folk superstition attached to them. A sure sign of fortune was attributed to encountering a Chinese person as one engaged in a bet, and it was supposed that killing such an individual would lead to a disastrous run of bad luck.Resimler
