It is the supreme achievement of humankind to say they are "Greek". Nothing to do with lowly "race" and waylaid occidental warped thinking ...
Stud suffers from recent acquisition of "communication skills".
I don't think humankind wants to say they are Greek when they can say they are American, Australian, Canadian or Chinese or whatever else.
You got to understand that all these countries don't even take Greece seriously. I mean why would they? What have they achieved?
Greece is classed with many other non achievers whilst these other countries are sending rockets into space.
Yet that warped thinking you mention is prevalent in Greek Society more so than anywhere else in the modern world.
Perhaps, the way things are, it is better to act less Greek and more European, because Greece can't even be classed as a European country either. In Europe you have Germany, Netherlands, France, Spain, Italy, UK, Sweden, Switzerland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Norway, et al all of which have achieved more.
Greece needs to catch up before it is left for dead!
