the vast majority on this island by ethnicity are hellenes, so too the relics of the culture's past...so what?
...but what do i know, i come from a "mixed" village.
What I find offensive is the constant drivel that comes out of the mouths of this Hellenic people that I should forget who I am and become a so called Cypriot......You append the vast majority with Hellenism but get offended with my background. The fact that you should even ask me to accept this basic and childish offer of Cypriotism and not try to protect my background and be represented in ALL aspects of political and cultural "Cypriot" life is the beyond comprehension.
You cannot have it both ways RW......You are either Cypriot, which means that you are not Hellenic but a different breed all together (With sensible acceptance of blood mixing) or you are not. That fact can then be said to have split along the way to two distinct people who are legally inhabitants of the island and must be represented. The majority has no right to impose their power over the other just because of numbers. We have no interest in that or to have you look at us as some sort of animal that needs to be saved from extinction. If I were you I would look at what the "RoC" is doing to eliminate all traces of Turkish involvement on the island and hang my head in shame. Then that would take a true humanist of which I have not seen a single one on this Forum....
