When I first saw Heidi's tweet I thought of a Western Australian Aboriginal who plays AFL at a lower level who is known as the Mandurah Magician because of their ability to produce some magic on a sporting field. They usually refer to the aboriginals players as magicians in AFL.

That would be diverse!

Mandurah has a few Aboriginals.. but they're usually a little further out Pinjarra way.. So it may make some sense if it's not this Nathan dude.

Well the players seem to love it! They are labelled as magicians because they kick some incredible goals. There are white players who are also known as magicians but it is usually the aboriginals because they are the ones who kick the freakish goals.

Why? It's complimentary as in Aboriginal players tend to posses silky skills thus they're exciting to watch because of their flair.

It's akin to commenting that blonde hair on a woman is 'attractive' and claiming that's racist/derogatory.
 
Yeah they aren't labelled as magicians because of their race. They are labelled as magicians because of their ability to produce something magical on a sporting field. It has nothing to do with race.

Anyway according to Heidi this new housemate is an actual magician so not much point in continuing to discuss Aboriginal AFL players!
 
Blinked and missd most of it aka also from Perth signed up specifically for this lol he looks kinda odd was wearing a magician suit
