One of my twins is vegan, to make matters even more complicated her twin sister is vegetarian.
Cooking dinner is a right bloody faff now. So for once you are spot on.

Once again, it’s possible to discuss demographic changes without being racist
50% of the residents in my street are of Asian descent and relatively new to the area
That’s an observation on how the area has changed
I couldn’t give a flying **** so long as they’re decent people & the same would apply whether they were white, black, green or extra terrestrial lizard beings
That’s an opinion
See how easy it is
Vaughan tweets stuff hoping for a reaction
The comments he made in the dressing room don’t appear to me to be a dog whistle when read in conjunction with his book

Had lunch recently with a vegan, non drinker in Bundaberg
Bundy is the beef & rum capital of Australia and I had to sit through rabbit food & sparkling water

When you are tweeting stuff that is inclined towards racism but then claim it was just to get reaction or attention that's worse than being outright racist. An apt example of the wrong toy (twitter) falling in the hands of a low IQ guy.

If you think Vaughan was innocently making a neutral take on a statistical change then you're either naive or willfully ignorant. Which is backed up by the fact you think what is essentially a PR money making exercise in releasing a book cancels out what seems to be his true feelings made in the comfort of a cricketing clique at a racist club.

Nobody can accuse Vaughan of being smart
All he had to do was issue a pr statement (“cannot remember but if I did and it caused offence then that was never my intention & I apologise unreservedly to all concerned blah blah blah)

From my personal experiences and observations, I tend to align myself with many of Social's comments. When teaching I found the majority of Asian students pursued academia rather than sporting activities. This was very evident on visits to the local library. The majority of the those in the library were young Asians in what appeared to be study groups while, looking out the window one could see that the majority of those playing sport on the adjacent oval appeared to be of Anglo Saxon decent.
Much of this I would attribute to parental pressure as Asian parents seemed to (and I'm generalising here) have higher expectations in terms of academic achievement.
Is making these generalisations a racist trait?
Gnske seems to think it is wrong to link sporting prowess with physiological attributes. Given that I consider the highest achieving sprinters in athletics to be Afro-American (West African to be specific) and I'm including the Caribbean nations here, and that I consider the best long distance runners to be of East African origin, and that I note the best swimmers appear to be generally white then I am indeed guilty of racist comments/observations - even though I admire the physical attributes of all aforementioned groups just as admire the way Asian students apply themselves to academic studies.

This is one of the classical stereotypes that don't hold muster on a racial scale. The question becomes are people who are willing to give up the life they know, to move to a more hostile social environment just to try create a better life for their kids, more likely, in general, to be tougher parents on many levels. That does not make it a racial thing. That's about determination. Many people head overseas and head back home quickly because it was to much of a change for them. People don't like change, people given a choice largely stay put throughout their life. Of course then as an outsider when you see so many people of a certain racial group behave in a certain manner you start attributing that behavior to that racial group, rather than considering the specifics of the people themselves. This is how racial profiling comes about (and fails under scrutiny) because as people it is easy to look for the simple factors like skin colour to correlate observed behavior. Negative or positive.
