Mate if you go down the rabbit hole of "ethnic clubs" in the US, or Canada or anywhere else in the world really you are going to get really annoyed at Australia as a country and some of our fellow football fans pretty quickly.
oh interesting, care to elaborate?

Well there are something like 50 football clubs called "Hellas" in Germany for example... ALL treated as "normal" suburban football clubs that happened to be founded by a particular migrant group. Not to mention the thousands of "Spartas" por "Herculese" or Corinthians or Ajaxs around the world... . or the dozens of "Croatia's" in Canada league system. Dont even bother to go to South America as they even have Italy playing England (Everton) , Playing Spain playing Palestine


We seem to be the ONLY society that doesn't allow this sort of club to tarnish our racial purity.

I guess we are the only country where the ethnic clubs were the best clubs in the country
 
Not necessary. Goalless draws are not as frequent as people think.
I can't remember the last time I saw one.
Goals don't necessarily equal "entertainment".
Best 3 goalless draws I've watched. Sunderland Manchester just gone by. Sweden VS T&T in 06. I was at Australia Colombia in 2018 and I really enjoyed the tussle and it was a fight.
 


Seems striker was called something by the winger and he's run over the barge his team mate over.

Most of those clubs you mention are minor amateur clubs. They will never be competing for a spot in the top flight of those countries. The exception I think is Chile's Everton; and nobody cares about that because it was the British who established football in South America anyway.
In Australia it is a different matter. The major ethnic clubs used to be Australia's foremost clubs, and some still have a case for returning to the top flight today. Will things change?

Maybe not, but they at least have the ability to if they so desire...

I'm sure a lot of this is inaccurate but sky get the funny reaction or two. Who is that at the absolute bottom left? I can't make it out.
 
Here I was thinking Panathinaikos was Greuther Fürth :D
