So the people are saying they don't go to the football because they don't like the skin tone of other people there? 

Seems pretty racist. 

Also it's self defeating.  If people from other cultures don't go because too many white people are there, then that keeps the ratio white. 

Also it's racist to assume a white crowd isn't multicultural.  I've read a lot of articles of people who hate being assumed to be white when they identify with their families culture. 

And more importantly what is the solution? This thread has been about stamping out homophobic and sexist language, which is something we can improve.  If non white people don't turn up because too many white people turn up, whats the solution? White people stop turning up? 

If they didn't turn up because there were racist chants, that's one thing, but you said they don't turn up because of the skin colour of the people who do. 

As others have said, the Nix literally bus multicultural groups in with free tix, if that's not enough then the only solution we as fans can enact is not going to help out the ratio for people like yourself. 

I feel like that's a bad idea with after beating Sydney we still got less than 7k, but that may just be me justifying being allowed to go with my white skin *shrug*
