Has any one these day's stoped and listen to some good advise or someones good ideas?? No they will only learn by making there own mistakes. Cypriots have changed they have wider range of Opportunities than before, they can speak out, they have alot more materialistic things they never had before.
The Cypriots including my self are very proud and only we know our history and what our parents and grandparents went through and came out of it smelling like sweet roses so no one not even the whole of Europe can change the Cypriots and that is what make me a proud Greek Cypriot..
The G.C's that live abroad still celebrate the G.C holidays, and cook the same food and dance the same dances, but we still mix with other cultures and yes I have to educate them about our culture. You know one day I was minding my own business at school and my teacher looked straight into my eyes and said "We should of gased you Greeks when we had the chance" Oracle has any one ever said any thing racist to you? or has made you feel like you do not belong any were? We English Greek Cypriots have, when I was living in Cyprus my comfort zone I use to call it I use to get abuse off people all the time but they got to know me and now they are my best friends and they helped change me for the better!! I am so greatful for that.

Sophia you are mellowing as a character.
Do you remember your first ever thread here? .... those were the days
I'm a bit of a chameleon and whilst in the UK everyone mistook me for a Brit ... English even. So I never had any racism ... until they found out I am GC and then there would be a huge change ... discomfort setting in perchance they had said anything racist whilst thinking I was one of them. This over sensitivity to appearing "racist" is part of the UK culture.
However there have been a lot of generalised anti-Cypriot posts these last few weeks, and it was these I wanted to highlight with this thread.
Most Brits are not anti-Cypriot at all.
So that's why I wanted to find out what makes some of these posters tick, what their motives are for being on a Cypriot forum to bash Cypriots. Very bizarre.
My conclusion is, those few
posters that have been indulging in cussing Cypriots are just generally ignorant, and have no attributes to make them interesting.
