So many Greek Americans can hardly speak Greek. Loss of the language is loss of the culture. Being Greek is not eating moussaka and Greek dancing. BTW, modern Greeks have complete freedom. Mr. Dalis is out of touch with present day Greece.
ОтветитьI am 70 years old. I was born in Massachusetts, but all of my grandparents came from
Greece. I always have felt like a bit of an "outsider" in America. Being Greek is something that most people in the world can never understand.
Unfortunately once you reach second generation in a foreign country you tend to lose your cultural identity. It gets much harder especially if you live in an area where there aren't many from your background. You see it happening worldwide.
ОтветитьEverything they say about being "experiencing freedom" and "coming from poverty" and "maintaining identity while becoming American" is the exact same rhetoric of every group that comes to the United States.
Ответить👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿

ОтветитьI hope Greeks don't lose their identity and start becoming too global in Greece!
ОтветитьI'm only half Mediterranean but I feel more comfortable in Greece lol. I might move there.
ОтветитьI always live places where the small Greek community is scattered. I've been to Greece 3 times but I'm 50% Greek but 1000% American.
ОтветитьMy mother is Greek but other than 3 trips to Greece my Arizona small town has 2 full Greeks and about 4 who are 1/2 like myself. I go to the Greek festival in Tucson but I tend to see myself as American vs Greek or German. My paternal grandmother's family goes back to the 16-1700s in American history. I'm proud of my Greek heritage but few Greeks to connect with here.
ОтветитьLest we forget Greece’s role in halting the AXIS aggression 1940-1941 Greece’s forces drove Mussolinni into the Mountains of Albania where Hitler had to come to his rescue Throwing off his timetable for his invasion into Russia. He started June 22 by the time he got to Stalingrad the winter set in and Soviets were given time to counter-attack -- I am getting old and cannot the thank the Greek people whose resistance won World war 2 ==Joseph Stalin Moscow Radio Speech 1945 WE GREEKS NEVBER LOST IT
ОтветитьMy farther was a smart Greek he had the common sense to migrate to Australia instead of America thank you Dad cliff proud Aussie greek
ОтветитьGifti in Amerika.
ОтветитьOther than the Greek festival at the Greek festival I rarely meet other ethnic Greeks and most I meet in my small Arizona town are half Greek like myself or less. I've been to Greece 3 times and I taught in Constantinople. I'd like to attend the Greek church in Tucson but it's a long drive. My older brother doesn't give a rip about our Greek heritage. I'm 100% American with deep roots on the other side in America but I embrace my Greek heritage. I'm just a plain American with no hyphens.
ОтветитьNOTHING to do with Greece, these people try hard but... hey wtf you're American people, It's OK... shhhh you're American ,it's fine
ОтветитьAre Greeks Caucasian?
Ответитьok guys this greek festival seems to suck!
ОтветитьLooking at Greece's declining birth rate, these Greek Americans are the last hope to preserve Greek culture.
