Language Warning: Bill Maher calls Aussies The 'Ethnic Group Taking Over' In Cheeky Rant

Aussies Labelled The 'Ethnic Group Taking Over' In Bill Maher's Cheeky, F-Bomb Riddled Rant

Forget Mexican illegal immigrants and European migrants, it's Australians who are taking the jobs of hard-working U.S. surf instructors, bartenders and ski bums.

Or so says comedian Bill Maher in this cheeky expletive-riddled rant.

"No one is paying attention to the ethnic group that is taking over this country while we blithely do nothing -- f*****g Australians," Maher said in the video which has more than 30,000 views since it was published on Friday.

"It can't just be me that has noticed that every single bartender in this town is suddenly some 6ft 4in Australian dude with a great personality, who is generous with the free drinks, and we're just letting it happen."

He then cuts a little too close to home making light of shark fatalities.

"We used to think oceans could protect us because oceans were full of sharks and sharks eat a lot of Australians, but now sharks are endangered," he said.

"There just aren't enough of them anymore and there are too many Hemsworths."

He reminisces back to a time when American movies starred Americans, casting the likes of Rebel Wilson, Cate Blanchett, Simon Baker and Russell Crowe as "an Aussie hoard that flawlessly mimics our American accent and then takes jobs that rightfully belong to Billy Bob Thornton".

What he's really getting at, however, is America's "tradition to hate someone and blame them for all our problems".

He finishes by saying: "If Donald Trump really wanted to make America great again he wouldn't build a wall, he'd build a mirror".
