ETHNICITY?

Why are only the regions of earth listed?

In all seriousness, 1st gen Australian with both parents being 10 pound poms that came out separately
 
Born in Canada. Moved to England when 18 months old

Both parents are English

Grandparents are from Denmark and Hungry but meet in London.

Came to Australia as a 3 year old under my Mum's British passport.

Ten pound POMS was our ticket to Australia.

Lived in Australia for 46 years so consider myself an Aussie.

All Aussies anyhow, even if only permanent residence for mine, but no accent, like yourself, easily seals the deal.

It's funny , but you can claim to own a country if you haven't spent your whole life in that country , but try and call yourself a local in some small country towns when you have spent more than half your life there :laughing:

Click other and let us know if that's the case.

why's there Australian next to Caucasian? Shouldn't it be Aborigina; (Australian)?

Don't get technical.
Not trying to start a race riot.

quite the contrary. It's just that, it doesn't make any sense.

My mistake champ…
I meant white - Australian but forgot to cover the indigenous.

No disrespect to anyone.

Also surprising there has been no Polynesian votes yet?
 
Born in Sri Lanka (so I picked "Asian"), moved to Sydney at 5 years old. Lived in Randwick but became Tigers fan at age 7 because, as I explained at the time, "I like tigers more than chickens".

I have lived in PNG (6 years), NZ (14 years) and now in Brisbane for the last 7 years - never far from Rugby League!

For RL Caucasian aussie. Born and bred in Wellington nz. But so was James Tamou….so I must be an aussie too? Otherwise other.
 
Immigrant from USA. Came over here with my parents in the 70's. My heritage is Irish on one side, Irish/Scottish on the other.
Does that make me Caucasian/Other?
 
Fathers side emigrated to Australia from
Scotland in 1827
England in 1836 - convict
Scotland in 1837
Scotland in 1832
Ireland in 1848 - but that originally came from Holland in the 11th century
Ireland in 1851
England in 1842

Mothers side
England 1838
England 1856
Scotland 1834
England in 1842

So caucasian for me

My great grandfather went to the first game Wests and Balmain ever played. The family has supported the Magpies/Tigers now for 110 years
