Sankho,
Fred has a name for rednecks like that. In America, they are those who try to "pass for white". She obviously has an incorrect world view. She wants all Assyrians to move to Australia so that they can have 2 cars and a house, and she worries about the Assyrian students who drop out of high school... she doesn't even acknowledge that we should help those back home (and keep them there)... by sending them help to make life easier. It's hard to remain "there" in Bet-Nahrain with inadequate food and shelter, but ... she wants them all to live in the PARADISE of Villawood!?
If she responds again, don't respond. It would be better if you took snippets of her responses and used them to publish a SCATHING editorial in Nakosha. Don't include her name, just that "an Irate Australian (not Assyrian) woman e-mailed us, and here is our response."
Good day.
