Standing at the Arthurs Seat Lookout, the wind whipped through my hair, carrying with it the scent of eucalyptus and the distant tang of the ocean. It was a bracing moment, and I couldn't help but grin as I took in the breathtaking panorama sprawled before me.
The view was truly something special. Rolling green hills gave way to the sparkling expanse of Port Phillip Bay, dotted with sailboats like scattered toys. In the distance, the Melbourne skyline shimmered, a hazy testament to the city's energy. It was a vista that encompassed both the untamed beauty of nature and the hum of human life, a powerful contrast that left me feeling strangely centered.

This makes her comment even more inappropriate and I believe she said that because my family and I are people of color.
Edit: I submitted a complaint about this and it was dealt with appropriately. I have increased my rating from 1 star to 4 stars.
