Yeah, all that list does is show that RL is dominated by a small ethnic group. Obviously there are many opportunities for All the other ethnic groups in Australia to play ARs. :wink:

You learn something new every day. I didn't realise that England was a different ethnic background. But seriously good on the NRL for promoting multiculturalism, this can only be a good thing for Australia.

I would have thought that most common background for Australians would have been an English ethnic background (if not directly then indirectly). Hence my comment.

In the Australian Census residents are asked to describe their ancestry, in which up to two could be nominated. Proportionate to the Australian resident population, the most commonly nominated ancestries were:[17][18]

English (36.1%) (2011)
Australian (35.4%) (2011)
Irish (10.4%) (2011)
Scottish (8.9%) (2011)

Looks like you are a little ill informed Eels.

I dont think you understand the term ethnic background. If infers where you ancestors came from. It is more a concept of history rather then geography.

Mate you will get there with your understanding of the English language.

I think I can work out what you said in the first part of that sentence. Maybe some English lessons may complement you geography expertise. Seriously mate learn to take a joke. If you cant do that then at least when you are putting someone down, do so while forming a proper sentence that makes sense. Finally when you go for the kill make sure you understand what you are talking about. "Ethnic background" is where you came from not where you currently live.

Nor does it revolve around the southern part of Australia, where approx 95% of your AFL players come from. [-X

Interesting stats here proving that ethnicity is a fluid concept. Australia is a relatively recently colonised nation state and we can easily assume that those picking australian in the census are more than 2nd generation aussie. Thus we must look into recent immigrants to really assess multiculturalism in either code. I can tell you now you wont need to do the research, the NRL is far far far more multicultural than the AFL comp is :D Common knowledge though pies, you prob knew it already. :wink:

Here i am talking about Geography classes and lessons and this baffoon could not see the tung in cheek from my comment.
Mate time to crack open a beer and lighten up a little. Life is to short to take things to heart, you even brought up census data as to why you think English are the same as 4th generation Aussies.... :lol: Wow so the english people carry the same culture as us aussies do they? :lol: :lol:

HaHa. Every where has a different ethnic background. But I would say that Australia and England have a similar ethnic background. Culturally they are quite different though.

You learn something new every day. I didn't realise that England was a different ethnic background. But seriously good on the NRL for promoting multiculturalism, this can only be a good thing for Australia.
Well we all know the history of how Australia came to be Pies, but Pies most of us did Geography in School and came to the realization that England is on the other side of the World..... :lol: :lol: Oh and they have that funny English accent also which is a dead giveaway.
Your more then welcome to use any English players in a AFL multicultural players list....but no half cast's and no indigenous, oh indigenous are Australians if you did not notice that one also Pies.... :lol:

Did i tell you a tutor Geography classes Pies...You want some lessons, i would be more then happy to.. :lol:
Pies you need to take a good look in the mirror mate, have i just hit a nerve or what..... :lol: :lol:

Here i am talking about Geography classes and lessons and this baffoon could not see the tung in cheek from my comment.
Mate time to crack open a beer and lighten up a little. Life is to short to take things to heart, you even brought up census data as to why you think English are the same as 4th generation Aussies.... :lol: Wow so the english people carry the same culture as us aussies do they? :lol: :lol:
Agree that we need to not take this sort of thing to heart. However I thought I was correcting your ignorance so I was only trying to do you a favour. I thought my satire of your ignorance was funny.
