The american power nexus that established the country had more admiration for the Greeks than the average white person (european or otherwise) does. I think that's where the confusion is here.

Greek Architecture, rules of governance and idioms are all through America's shyt. That's why we associate it with "white" people. When in actuality as @mbewane said the connection is MUCH closer to the Romans than it is to the Greeks in Europe. Hell, much of Europe STILL has remnants of the Romans dotted all over it. This is not so for the Greeks.

Remember the two civilizations were CENTURIES apart.

And Scandinavians are well aware of the savagery of their Viking ancestors. I think this topic is functioning off a false narrative that ALL white people have some sort of kindred connection to Greece...which they don't. In fact, the Greeks get shytted on by the rest of Europe (like the Spanish and the Italians) for being basically dark skinned, damn near Arab/African.

Indeed, what I've been trying to say. And you're right, Greeks, Italians, Portuguese and Spaniards have been (and are still are in places) discriminated against by North-Western european countries. That's why for me as a half-Euro who has lived on the continent for 20 years these threads are funny when brehs assume that Europeans are all the same.

It's funny because Americans (White and Black) took over the "Greeks are homo" xenophobic prejudice (as I saw in the earlier replies) yet somehow don't think about where it came from (hint : Northern Euros). So in their attempt to shyt on "cacs" they are actually recycling Northern European prejudices towards Southern Europeans.

No one is dumb enough to NOT know there's division on the continent, there's subdivisions on every continent, but we all know Egypt is an african construct created by black people. I don't think europeans know that. I, however know that both Greece and Roman empires are european constructs created by white people. Just like I know east philosophies as far as Japan have connections to India and yet the far east still shyt on south asia.

After just spending hours reading upon how the KKK and many whites oppressed the fukk out of Greeks when they first immigrated here, fukk NO.

This was written on cards passed out by the KKK

"When cotton grows on the fig tree
And alfalfa hangs on the rose
When the aliens run the United States
And the Jews grow a straight nose
When the Pope is praised by everyone
In the land of Uncle Sam
And a Greek is elected President

THEN – the Ku Klux won’t be worth a dam.”

They didn't even consider us white, now they trying to use our achievements as their own

I offer a small experiment for you fellas to try in real life. I have done it, as I study human behavior in my free time and I have stumbled upon predictable results.
- In conversation with a Cac...decieve by commenting on "exotic look" and ask "are you mixed or what ethnic makeup are you?" if you don't mind me asking. It does two things immediately.
1. You have endowed them with sense of snowflaking, they are apparently visably different. Complimented. No cac wants to be ordinary.
2. You will gain a glimpse into what type of cac this is. :jbhmm:
2a- A cac who is proud of a varied heritage that includes cultural deviation and noticable specificity "accuracy" of lineage.
2b- A cac who will associate with a historically "notable" nation state such as "german, russian, etc" attempts to associate with "power" even mention Viking ancestry....more prominent lately as there have been a few Netflix series greatly revising/that specific culture...so it's cool now.:francis:

It's fascinating. Especially an American "non-recent" immigrant european person. :mjlol:
