Paphiti you are correct we are indeed a great nation as far as rights are concern, that really makes a mockery of what the EU would like to acheive...

The numbers you presented are flaw in many ways...The numbers are based on immigrant parents coz if any of their offsprings have/had a mixed marriage, like my self, my kids are classified as australian...pure and simple...

Australia is a multucural nation due to the diversification of the populaton when today all these cultures are inter mixing big time...Australia as to what defines a country has not matured yet, we are a new country and a counry continualy evolving...

So when you have all these cultures coming together, it helps us in defining our unique ethnicity...an Australian...

Times have changed Paphiti, and without disrespect you might not see coming from a smaller city...In Melbourne and Sudney this is quite evident...

These statistics are from The Australian Buruea of Statistics nationwide census.

And as far as I recall, the question posed was "how people identify themselves".

So everyone is free to identify themselves however they wish. Your children could theoretically identify themselves as Australian, Greek, Cypriot or Ukranian.

The complexicity of an old rusty mind in its glory.
Idiot , so many foreign occupators and invators have not suceeded to change our Ethnicity for centuries. This can not be achieved by a Cyprus donkey like you are. The only thing you can deal now with is how to make your mind to move and get out of its misery.

Please check what you are bying from the market, maybe British insert special medicines in your tea.

Some times the Cyprus dialog created very good words like PATSIOGEROS

Listen clown. This island is called Cyprus , our Internationally recognized name is not f..ing Greek Cyprus but just Cyprus. We are Cypriots first and foremost , get this in your poor unsophisticated full of tobacco brain that this nation is the ETHNOS of Cyprus. I dont bloody well care if you or anyone else continue down the road of treason , Im just what my father , grandfather and beyond were CYPRIOTS .
Light up another fag and stick up your kalamaristiko kolo .
ps. What do you mean our ethnicity , we have always been Cypriots until the bloody foreigners and their suckers bent over and inserted their crap up their kolos.
LONG LIVE THE NATION OF CYPRUS !

Mr of no Ethnicity (check all books or sources and find something about Cyprus Ethnos- you will find only one info: Cyprus Ethnos = one malakas in UK). I was out for the weekend and i see that your ill mind found space to move -but again backwards.

We do not want re ilithie to be of Cyprus Ethnos can you understand this?We do not want re to be a bastrad Ethnos which created in the mind of ill people like you are. We know better than you what means indepedent Cyprus state (which not exist) but we know and understand idiot the difference of a state and an Ethnicity.

Maybe your family mixed up with Turks in old years and this maybe is what you call Cyprus Ethnos but ours did not.

ps: I have not been Greek because I am in mainland Greece- i born Greek.

I still think Australians should declare why they were deported from their country of origin before expecting people to believe anything they say!

From your report, done in 2006, estimated in 2008

There are now more unmarried women than married – 51.4% are now unmarried leading to a society of 'Freemales'

The children could be under age so they couldn't have decided but a single parent decided...

Over 40% of Australians now have at least one parent born overseas, with Africa being one of the fastest growing immigrant sources. Largely these are white immigrants from South Africa and the former Rhodesia.

This alone is shows a major trend into cross marriages...again the children could be too young and parents made the decision...Never the less a high number if all those ethnic communities inter marry...This will definetely shape what constitues an Australian...

So you have your nation and your ethnicity...

Something similar to what Cyprus went through from 2000-3000 years ago...

The difference is while we embrace these trends in Australia, in Cyprus they teach history...

Well parents could make the decision of minors. We all know this. Nothing unusual Boom.

We also understand the concept of mix marriages which is why many people could identify themselves as half English and Half Greek for example.

There is no such thing as a Genetic pure English, Greek or Turkish bloodline. What segregates people into ethnicities are things such as language, culture, custom and religion.

The census was done by asking people to group themselves accordingly. But you say that the statistics are incorrect. Well I disagree, because if a Half Greek classified themselves as Greek, then they are Greek. If they classified themselves as English, then they are English. If they classified themselves as Australian, then they are Australian.

The question did not ask us what our nationality is. Because it is naturally Australian. It asked what ethnic group you consider yourself to be.

Again, The Australian Bureau of Statistics does understand the fundamental difference between Nationality and Ethnicity.

Hey Stupid , did you say that Cyprus does not exist as an independent nation ??

From your numbers 37.13% Australians....and the majority mind you...so take a look around you and see what makes these people Australian...

I don't think Cypriots with different religious backgrounds come from different races. So your comment doesn't stand. It's nonsense. And as for religion, I have no religious convictions and couldn't give a stuff about the name they give to their God. If you want the comment to stand, then don't engage in debate with me, because you've insulted me.

Well genetically speaking, we are all the same.

But in order for the above to stand you need to define what constitutes a race.

And what constitutes a race in this day and age is language, custom, culture and religion amongst other things.

Have another go Chip. We will get there eventually.

Re Bafidis, I think you need O to sort this guy out.

I think The Cypriot is by far , (after me that is , !!!! ) the most committed , intelligent , highly qualified Cypriot that ever graced this forum , he is no match for anyone and I'm particularly extremely overjoyed to have such a powerful and effective debater joining the true Cypriots.
O , as eloquent as she undoubtedly is , being utterly misguided and in my opinion utterly destructive to the Cyprus corner would be a mere pushover against The Cypriot !!

Milti. Think about this:

The Cypriot = Oracle

I only say this because I am wondering where Oracle is? Has O metamorphosed..........again?

Not in a million years Deniz , O is just taking a rest . After all views of both are totally opposite , while The Cypriot has constructive intelligent views O has destructive ...penetrating views

In metamorphosis, you have an ugly larvae and a beautiful buterfly.

100% of people are Australian Boom, even the Chinese, Vietnamese etc etc unless they are just permanent residents on a 457 Visa.

The question in itself distinguishes between the Australian Nationality and Ethnicity, because whether we like it or not, the only real Australian Ethnicity is the Aboriginal one which comprises only 0.58%!

Also take note that there are only 9.08% who identify themselves as Irish. This is ethnically inaccurate as Australians of Irish Origins are closer to 30% and we both know this.
