Surely not. You've probably bullied your 'opponents' into submission so that they were afraid to admit ignorance


Bullied by ME?

so we are more stupid than north nations :(
we can't be racists
look on our problems in the past :

RACISM WOGS Italians Greeks Maltese Lebs Serbs Macos Arabs



in this movie we can see problems we had with north people.

In Germany Greeks still face so many problems.

Look on 2:50 on this movie, we were toilet cleaners.

Which ones?

About 350.000 people is not much to speak about...Germans know Greeks mostly because of their food and restaurants.

A recent proposal to set up Turkish-medium schools in Germany was strongly criticized by politicians. The response ignores the fact that one immigrant group in Germany, the Greeks, has for decades had its own schools.

Greeks-wogs
English-punks
etc.There is a term for everyone in Australia.However I noticed a lot of australian girls getting greek boyfriends on their vaccations on greek islands.
In Greece Australians are called cungaroos.

If you notice in the movie the Greeks are assimilated in Australia like in Germany,Sweden and avery country they happen to live.
This is the difference between the Greeks and Turks.The Greeks want to change and become europeans,they always look how things are done in Europe while Turks want to remain Turks,they are proud and do not want to change.

You are nice on forum !

What about it:

http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/0,1518,508882,00.html

Another racist attack in Germany -- three Greeks were attacked and beaten up by 12 skinheads in the Pankow district of eastern Berlin.

That's bad...but you brought that example again and again.

What about this:

Befor christmas a 76-year-old pensioner was beaten up on the Munich metro. His two assailants were, in one of the more unlikely criminal teams, a German born Turk and a 17-year-old Greek immigrant. The attack must have marked the first time a Greek and a Turk have fought on the same side.


How should I judge the Greeks now after that?

In Greece we argue with Turks. In Germany Turk and Greek are brothers. It is normal we are similar.

No...Greeks and Turks don't appear similiar in Germany.
For example this beating of an old man happened before by Turks but never by Greeks, that's why people wondered...maybe the Turks have a bad influence on you?

Greeks are integrated fine, Turks are not.

Actually you are puzzling me and I think other board members too....you do seem so strange for a Greek...I doubt you are a real Greek!

I am open-mind person. I believe in multiculturalism. I am Greek, I like Turks I like Jews. Greeks had many problems in the past (olive skin).

I can't stand opinions I read here.

Turkish court bans YouTube access

Access to the popular video-sharing website YouTube has been suspended in Turkey following a court order.

The ban was imposed after prosecutors told the court that clips insulting former Turkish leader Mustafa Kemal Ataturk had appeared on the site.

According to Turkish media, there has been a "virtual war" between Greek and Turkish users of the site, with both sides posting insulting videos.

Probably they regarded them as Turks.If by any attack you can prove you are Greek,skinheads do not bother you.

It is strange.I guess the Turk asked some bad influence on the greek teenager.Normally Greeks do not attack elderly people.The second generation Turk fooled the greek boy.

Bratwurst Boy:

That's what I am saying.Germans do not even regard Greece as part of Balkans.

Bratwurst Boy:

Maybe a Greek from Germany who happens to have a lot of turkish friends or from mixed origin,I fo not know.However in no case a Greek from Greece.
Mind you second generation Greeks in Germany speak perfect german,better than they speak greek.Their greek is broken,so to say.
Turks in Germany cannot even speak german or speak german mixed with turkish words,a peculiar language.They have always turkish accent.

Yes, Bratwurst Boy, "Tuerk-Proll" is the name for it, and, surprise, it's spoken predominantly, although not exclusively, in and around the working-class districts of Berlin, such as Marzahn as well as in heavily Turkish neighborhoods like Kreuzberg, 'Istanbul an der Spree', 'Die kleine Turkei'....

I have a brother in law that is a Turkish German. Born and rasied in Germany but views himself as Turk first.

I visited Turkey for the first time in 2006 and loved it. Very passionate people with A LOT of pride that kind of have to take a back seat to Greeks in hitorical terms atleast. For example in American history classes you are drilled with Greek culture but are taught nearly nothing of Turks, which is odd since they are neighbors and at times are nearly identical. Overall I think they hold the same exact qualities that Poles do. Very similar in my opinion.

But it does take a little getting use to. Poles for the most part are reserved and try to be very respectable/quiet. Turks on the other hand, are very loud and open people....that is in their blood. While it might not mix at first the combo of Turks and Germans is even more odd in my opinion. Seeing first hand how the cultures interacted in Germany was funny at times. Turks being the loud and out going group while the Germans are very quiet and in a shell at times.

I think Poles and Turks are very similar in many ways for better and worse.

I would say Turks are the most out going/loud with Germans being on the extreme and Poles somewhere in the middle. Poles just have to open up and get the Vodka flowing and they are nearly just like Turks I'd say.

It has to do with the whole, we've been in the middle of Russia/Germany throughout our history and the Turks being over shadowed by Greeks and Italians to a lesser extrent that I was trying to get at.

So Greeks,Poles are identical to Turks in your opinion.Maybe everybody is a Turk.

Are you sure that you have seen Germans when they have the beer flowing?

Well obviously politics is a reason why you don't learn much about Turks in American history books. For the most part the history books in Grade School are pretty pathetic in America as a whole....

I haven't encountered as many Greeks as Turks but no I wouldn't say Greeks/Poles are as similar in character.

How would you say the two compare?

They introduced the alembic to Europe. Okay, so it was a Persian / Arab invention, and none of them really used it for it's most obvious purpose: distilling alcoholic beverages.

You write Greeks are almost similar to Turks.Then you write Turks are identical to Poles.So sb can conclude by what you write that Greeks and Poles are also identical.
If Greeks=Turks and Turks=Poles,then Greeks=Poles.
