Jerry, are you accusing me of not being a TC?
Could be, you could even be a descendant of Julius Caesar. I knew a TC from Lourinjina (?) who spoke Greek so well that a GC friend of mine could not tell what he was. To me
the saddest thing about this whole business is that many GCs and TCs share the same blood.
That is how a racist would think. Human Rights do not distinguish according to "bloodlines". The crime is against the Human NOT his blood-type!
It is only the Turks who have racially, ethnically cleansed by thinking along those lines and such "excuses" should not be allowed to be perpetuated any longer...
What a twisted logic! A racist is someone like you who makes derogatory remarks about a person simply because of his/her race.
She was referring to the fact that racists are those who differentiate based on Genetics. This is what the Nazis did in WW2.
Judging by your earlier post, Oracle is quite correct to class you as a potential racist.
You did state:

Bollocks Paphitis, more twisted logic. One race has joined the other, brother could be fighting brother and you say I'm a racist for finding that sad.
Now you are getting pathetic.
The GCs were fighting the invading Turkish Army purely for
survival. The Turkish Army slaughtered thousands of GCs. How did the Turkish invaders transform into your "brothers"? And if they were your "brothers" are they to be
excused of Human Rights violations ... simply because of their "blood"?
Your logic is flawed ...
Your problem is that
you only see things at a superficial level, you only see what you want to see. If you didn't know the Turkish Army/ Turkish invaders are not Turkish Cypriots. Read what I wrote again. To me the saddest thing about this whole business is that many GCs and
TCs share the same blood.
I have always believed that both sides ( Greek and Turkish Cypriots and their leaders) share some of the blame for the Cyprus Problem although most of it originates outside the island.
One could liken it to a civil war people with the same blood fight each other, surely that is even sadder than a conflict between two races who never had anything in common.
