Club secretary and under-16 manager Stan Stokes talks about the process of assimilation of all the team members of the soccer club. The boys come from Greek, Turkish and Vietnamese backgrounds.
This clip shows the coach and two players from the under-16 Clifton Hill United soccer team offering their perspectives on cultural assimilation of the different nationalities in the team. One of the boys is Greek–Australian and explains why he thinks boys who are of the same cultural backgrounds stick together.
This clip starts approximately 39 minutes into the documentary.
Stan Stokes is being interviewed in a club office.
Stan Stokes, Clifton Hill United club secretary They don’t assimilate, the different nationalities don’t assimilate at all. They may. Of course I don’t know when they’re out, of course, who they go out with. But I suppose the Turkish kids will go out with one another and the Vietnamese kids all hang out together. The Greek kids, well, some of them might hang around probably – but mainly, probably with Greeks anyhow. Yeah, so.
Two players from the team are being interviewed on a vacant playing field.
Boy 1 It seems like Sam doesn’t want to play if Macit’s not there and Macit doesn’t want to play if Sam’s not there. They just – they really stick together, you know?
Filmmaker But that could be a friendship thing.
Boy 1 It’s a bit of both. They’ve become friends probably because of their culture.
Boy 2 They’re friends because they’re both Turks.
Boy 1 They can talk Turkish and…
Boy 2 Just say you go out and you see a Greek person. You speak to him in Greek, automatically becomes your friend. And that’s not because you’ve met him and you know his personality or you like him. It’s because he’s Greek and he’s automatically your friend. Any Greek and it’s the same, I think, with the Turks. You meet a Turk, automatically becomes someone that you know. And then the friendship forms later.
Boy 1 They can relate very easily. Like they can talk the…
Boy 2 Because they got the language.
Boy 1 …language.
