How would you best describe "being greek" both individually and collectively from interacting with them?
Greeks

Jackson Turner
why they look like refugees?
i thought greeks were wh*te
Brayden Taylor
I've no idea Moldova is not that far from Greece but the name and people sound to foreign and alien because they look like middle easterners on one hand but they speak an indo-euro language and were building blocks of european civilization and such that's why i made the thread to clarify just wtf a greek is exactly

You know I also have a question about your country and I don't mean to offend you by this. Why aren't you part of Romania? You speak the same language right? Plus you were part of them in semi recent years. Also not all Greeks look middle eastern. Most that look like that are from the pontus i.e. The north coast of Asia minor
Aaron Williams
Why should we? Western Moldova created Romania with Wallachia and today it's the poorest region with not a single km of highway built there in the past 150 years because everything is centralized in Bucharest, what for?
There was a so-called union in 1918 but it was orchestrated by geopolitical interests as most of the population didn't see Romania as close relatives due to cultural barriers (They had a catholic king, didn't follow old style orthodox calendar etc)
>You speak the same language right?
Arguably, although when i go to romanian lands like the south people have a hard time trying to understand the dialect
Thomas Peterson
what about these guys then. Do people from say, Athens, look different than people from the north of greece?
Justin Lee
I see. I thought it would be a good idea to unify so you can both improve but Romania isn't exactly a powerhouse and you're one of the poorest countries in Europe so I guess it's best to improve on your own

These are 'ragefugees' in a leftist rally, Mahmud,
