    Australia takes sporting in general far too seriously, to such a climax as nothing else matters when there is an uproar in cricket or Rugby League, and, semi-jokingly the, "National Pride", is hurt when Australia loses against England or quite really any country participating.
    The Australian citizen, not unlike most Western people, attempts to conform his or her ideas to that which is the ethical belief of our international society.

    That is, the acceptance of every race, religion and colour of skin as equal, that none of these things describes or ascertains to difference between us and that there should never be a virtuous person who notices dissimilarity.
    This is the same topical, hypothetical illusion developed by internationality that led to a supposed, dream of world peace, created in a rosy image to calm one's fear for their public opinion on a global scale.
    These things are an unintentional fear tactic that push us further from our nature as we try to avoid upsetting the New World Order.

    But we are different, those who come from the continent of Asia are generally shorter, those from Mesopotamia have coarser features and thicker facial hair than those I have witnessed from the Italian peninsula.
    These people all have naturally different intentions and, left as a community with the object of achieving the greater good for themselves, as seperate races they will all find different paths of accomplishing this, and inevitably clash with each other in doing so.

    By simply allowing every race to form a community together, and then do this, the clash occurs not after nations are formed, but before.

    This is not to say people of different races cannot form a community - an example of the positive influence is the Austro-Hungarian Empire, a large territory which included not only many cultures but an overwhelming number of languages.
    However, this mix only achieved success by the co-operation of every cultural member, every citizen had to dream of the same end for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and though at the beginning, there were Serbs and Croatians and Germans and Austrians, and Poles - at the end of all this there were Austro-Hungarians.

    But this cannot happen in Australia, because at first the European controlled the Aborigine through conquest, and now the Aborigine and the Asian control the European through the apologetic, passive attitude of the latter.
    This means that there are different peoples all requesting different ends and solutions from their country, which is in the hands of another in any case, and some do not wish for anything at all, except Sunday cricket.
    No race in Australia wishes to take control, to convince others to conform either to their wishes, or to any one wish, and until one does, Australia can not be a nation.

    Surely your example counters your proposed outcome.

    IMDHO it may be that the direction for Australia is to be more Laissez-faire in a cultural context and let individuals be that. Let them chose from the many cultures on display, just like a foodcourt, and let them eat and be merry. Let ideas mix and multiple. All races are different, none are superior and we need differences in a modern economy more then uniformity.

    But this cannot happen in Australia, because at first the European controlled the Aborigine through conquest, and now the Aborigine and the Asian control the European through the apologetic, passive attitude of the latter.
    Even if you said was 100% and the outcome was as ascertained, you are missing the point that Australians are not all either Aboriginal or European. I find it funny to say that Europeans are more passive then Asians... not sure which communities that is true in. We have a rather large cross-section from around the world. All are welcome, please bring your cultures, traditions, religions, sports, foods, ideas and hard work. Please leave all old hatreds and prejudices at the door. Please keep your mother tongue whilst learning English to communicate with your fellow Aussies.

    I enjoy having a Turkish Kebab, Chinese dumplings, Italian cap, large with 2 sugars, Belgian Beer and chocolate... why should I stop at food and not enjoy other facets of culture? Watch a movie from another nation, read a book that has been translated, talk on the internet with people with other ideas. The fruit of progress is in differences not grey out passive uniformity.

    The Australian nation is a multi-culture not a mono-culture. It might be too complex for some, but I for one welcome our new multi-cultural overlords.

    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.
