It would be best to make such broad generalisations as there are Australians who are rude and there are those who are not.

Presumably this question is in reference to how the Chinese were treated by the Australian miners during the goldrushes.

During the gold rushes, the Chinese kept to themselves, and the Australians did not understand them at all. They were shunned by Australians because the Chinese were much harder-working, and subsequently tended to find more gold. They were resented for this, and for the fact that Australians just did not understand their language. Australians tended to regard the Chinese as secretive, and therefore a threat.

The Chinese often sent the gold they found back to their own country, and Australians did not appreciate the wealth being sent out of their own country. For this reason, groups of Australians would sometimes turn on the Chinese, injuring and even killing them. The Chinese were subjected to being scalped, and their possessions wrecked or looted.

The Australians had three reasons for mistrusting the Chinese, but none of their reasons were legitimate.The Chinese were hardworking, and often tended their diggings more thoroughly and for longer periods of time than the Australians did. As a result, they were more successful.Australians could not understand the Chinese language. The lack of communication between the groups led to mistrust.Often, the Chinese would come to an area, work it dry of gold, then return to China with their gold, not even spending it within Australia, so contributing absolutely nothing to the economy.
