"bogans" is what Wulfric says is Australian slang for "trailer trash" .... just a weird question that popped into my head at 2am here .... maybe I'm getting loopy and need some sleep ..
I actually have a similar curiosity. A lot of people say it's more "politically correct" to call black people African-Americans..so.....does that mean you call Blacks in Canada "African- Canadians"? or "african- polish" and so and so......

Just more groups and more and more for people to separate themselves....

Most people don't know black people who are indiginous to Australia live in America, too.
