Greek Hatred For Diaspora Greeks

While living and working in Greece I came to know many Greeks who hailed from the former Soviet Union. The Pontian or Pontic Greeks have experienced some of our worst historical tragedies, victimized by centuries of slavery and genocide by the Turks and then subject to Twentieth Century mass deportations and arbitrary persecution and forcible assimilation by what the majority of the citizens of mainland contemporary Greece honor as "the worker's paradise", in their moronic ahistorical adorations for Marxism in its various manifestations--the mainstream political spectrum , educational system and press being the most visible entities.

The poorer neighborhoods of Athens are home to many of these good Greeks that have finally returned home. In my experience, the men are masculine and proud, and the only Greeks I met who , without exception, have a deep reservoir of healthy, virile hate for our eternal Turkish foe. Many have had very bad experiences with today's Greek, who insultingly call them "Russians" Contemporary mainland Greeks also fear them, they are tougher and know how to fight, having grown up in some of the world's toughest neighborhoods. Unlike many contemporary mainland Greeks they have not fled from the public school system out of fear of the Albanians and Gypsies --they stand their ground, earn respect on the street and would not be the type to cower in fear of a Turk or an Albanian on a battlefield. In short, they still make me proud to say I am Greek, and moreover, Pontic Greek. Not suprisingly , Pontic Greeks ,generally speaking , also consider today's Greek as duplicitous, effeminate and weak. I can understand.

Cypriots I knew in college told me that the Pontic Greeks who first came to Cyprus were also mistreated. A recent news article from Cyprus confirms their story:

An investigation into insurance discrimination was sparked by an interview with a Pontian Greek that appeared in Politis newspaper. In it the man had been forced to walk, despite having a car, because insurance companies would not cover his vehicle.

The same article cites official charges of racism and xenophobia. Which raises yet another point of how the Greek mind has been subject to moronic leftist reasoning. These very Pontic greeks qualified for Greek or Cypriot citizenship based on our archaic and sane genos criteria for citizenship. There are already legislations in play as we speak to do away with the genos. To my knowledge Greece and Cyprus may be the only EU countries which still have an official genos or blood criteria for citizenship. Something tells me that will also be legally altered soon.

Then Greeks can be left with a colorful assortment of Near Easterners and Africans who they could not legally discriminate against, because , in contrast to my brothers, those bastards will truly be xenoi.
