Chapter 3. Do birds of a feather play football together? 65 Antillean backgrounds might be partly explained by their different group size, and a more limited effect of growth on segregation, due to few boundaries between this group and other groups. A limited role for language The third set of expectations in this chapter was based on the notion that speaking a second, additional language can act as an important boundary between certain ethnic groups: E3A: Members with Turkish and Moroccan backgrounds show relatively high degrees of inbreeding. E3B: Amongst members with Dutch, Surinamese, Antillean or Indonesian backgrounds exist relatively low degrees of inbreeding. Table 3.3 and 3.4 present the segregation between members with Turkish and Moroccan backgrounds and all other groups. All segregation indices fall into the high segregation category and in a few situations (Turkish vs Surinamese and Turkish vs Indonesian), we even see extreme cases of segregation. These findings are in line with expectation E3A. Table 3.5 to 3.7 contain the segregation between members with Surinamese, Antillean and Indonesian backgrounds versus each of the other groups. If we look at the figures between Dutch, Surinamese, Antillean and Indonesian backgrounds, we fail to see a clear pattern of clustering of these groups. Surinamese backgrounds are least, but still moderately segregated from Antillean backgrounds. Additionally, members with Surinamese backgrounds are more segregated from Dutch and Indonesian backgrounds than from Moroccan backgrounds. Segregation indices for Antillean and Indonesian backgrounds do follow the correct order and are lowest versus Dutch backgrounds. However, save for segregation between Indonesian and Dutch backgrounds, segregation indices between ex-colonial and Dutch backgrounds remain moderate or high. Moreover, the growth in members with Antillean backgrounds is, remarkably, coupled with increasing segregation between Dutch and Antillean members, which indicates that a more even ration of these two groups on the population level has not led to a similar increase in meeting opportunities on the club level. In table 3.3 and 3.4 we do see that Moroccan backgrounds are less
