Back home in Adelaide, we asked Socceroo Awer Mabil, one of the squad’s many refugee success stories, about suggestions Australia is a monocultural society, rather than a multicultural one.
He asked if could swear, before declaring “It’s all bullshit.”
“Australia is the best country in the world and the Socceroos are the best representation of that.
If anyone’s trying to divide that, they’re probably not Australians themselves, in a sense.
You don’t pick where you’re born, you don’t pick the colour of your skin. You choose to be a good human being. Some people, they choose against being good. That’s their own problem. Then they’re missing out on what others can bring. That’s what multiculturalism does. It brings other flavours to the table, instead of just one thing.
It’s many journeys, with one jersey.”

@1116sen@WhateleySEN Jeez that must have taken restraint from @White_Adam - Whateley talking over Whitey’s valid, well-informed points about the wicket he sees every week. How is it so absurd to imagine a more determined mindset succeeding on that spicy deck?
