I work as a security analyst. I'm from Australia, although I've recently immigrated to the US and hope to start a small business offering security services.

I have a strong interest and knowledge in different access control models, reading about new exploits and vulnerabilities and digital forensics.

comment Do white Australians have a distinct look?
@Nico sure, but when there are a great deal of similar anecdotes, it's something that warrants further investigation.

comment Do men have more extreme variations than women?
This isn't an issue of a culturally constructed definition. It is about differences between biological sexes. The cultural fluff on top is irrelivant to my question. Dealing only with hard data, do males tend to have a greater range of variance in most areas when compared to females?

comment Do men have more extreme variations than women?
My question is not about the difference between the sexes, but the degree of variance.

RE Australia's gene pool being isolated, it surely was at the formation of the country and likely stayed so for many years, perhaps this could have had an effect?

comment Is there a biological basis for different accents?
Surely the evidence indicates that it is unlikely and that this is strictly nurture rather than nature? Take a kid from anywhere and raise them while they learn to speak and they will have the accent of those around them with exceptions being rare.

Could you maybe expand on point 1 and 2 showing that what you say is possible? There is no direct study with Australians but there should be for your underlying points?

@piotr but that is the question I am asking is about, if there is something special about white Australians. Your answer should be specific to that, not a general case.

comment Do white Australians have a distinct look?
I think this answer deals with the general case of recognizing someone by their nationality and not Australia specifically. I think that Australia is a special case as most people would not believe white Australians could have a distinct look, as they simply look white.

@nico I am hoping that someone may explain why or why not what I propose in my question would be possible, although average a decent sample size and looking for patterns would also give a good indication.

@nico thanks, I just get miffed when downvoters downvote without giving a reason.

I don't understand the downvotes. I'm asking if it is possible or not. Is the question really so ridiculous that it doesn't merit an answer?
