@vanhanenist We have no issues with that though. It is not perceived as "we wuzzing" or anything like that by us. They have legitimate claims, and genetically they are very close to modern Greeks as well.
Και εσύ το ίδιο πράγμα κάνεις τώρα όμως, ασχολείσαι με τα χαρακτηριστικά. Οι έλληνες είναι Ευρωπαϊκός λαός άρα by definition είναι λευκοί. Δεν πάει να χτυπιούνται κάτω οι Τουρκαλβανοι, να βάλουν 1000 cherry picked φωτογραφίες, η αλήθεια είναι αυτή.
Όπως είναι και οι Ισπανοί και οι Ιταλοί που επίσης γράφουν τις ίδιες βλακείες για αυτούς κάποιοι.
@ozzie8811 As many people like to remind us every day: we are Turks, there are no Greeks left. So we are white European like you but we happen to be in Europe as well, therefore we win. 😎
@RolloRouen Not many Greek people complained about Northern Europeans though. It was Lupita who sparked the controversy. As for this casting choice, He-Man is canonically a barbarian, so having Greek ancestry should have immediately disqualified you, lol. 😄
No sane European will stay at a sus hostel unless they know the country very well or they are very young and naive. I did exactly what the tweet says, I spent a month in Santa Monica, stayed at a Hilton, and rented a car. I did not even consider Airbnb for safety reasons, but next time I will. I am not rich or anything close to it, just middle class.
What is the point of traveling to the US and living like that? If money is tight, Europeans travel to neighboring countries instead.
No, it's a relatively recent phenomenon, mainly among the younger generation. Younger Greeks are tall af nowadays, and it's more likely that Greece historically lagged behind in nutrition and healthcare due to periods of occupation and economic hardship.
As a result, they're only now reaching their full genetic potential. The same thing happened with the Dutch, who went from an average height of around 165 cm to about 185 cm in just a few generations.
If it were the result of Slavic migration, the change would have occurred much more gradually over many centuries.
@HeinrichHyper@ZoomerLunar Most White is okay, but ‘only Whites’ is where it gets problematic. This definition of White never includes Arabs because it insists on 100% European ancestry. Just to be clear, this isn’t my definition.
I have one, the least divisive and accepted among most nationalists:
"Non-Jewish people of wholly European descent, with no exceptions.”
I think it’s reasonable, because if you go by looks alone you’ll inevitably need to exclude a part of your country as well, which is stupid imo.
Yeah, I completely agree. Hitler also relied heavily on pseudoscience and mental gymnastics to justify his actions, essentially twisting and weaponizing Gobineau’s theories.
It is also interesting to read about how Mussolini and the Italian people initially engaged with these ideas before eventually folding to Hitler.
