I think it's true when they say that if you don't experience one problem then you never realise how important or big it might be.The same applies for the xenophobia.
To tell you the truth my friends if I didn't marry a black girl from another country then i would have never thought that the Greeks that proclaim themselves as one of the most hospitable country in the world are so xenophobic.
I must honestly admit that we (us Greeks, yes I'm included too) are very selfish. One moment we might be saying that the immigration problem in Greece is very big and we should do something about it and at the same time we might be complaining about the problems Greek immigrants meet in a foreign country. Yes I think that us the GREEKS!!! we must all agree on this, the center of the world is Greece, after this chaos. :))))
Can somebody give me an honest answer we do Greeks have the right to live and work in another country with no problem and the foreign people that come here to live and work have to pass through gestapo torture methods to get a job (which is very rear unless the job includes cleaning buildings or gathering garbage).
But not only this. The amazing is that there are people in the 21st century in Greece that turn to you and say "I'm sorry but the color of your skin might be a problem for this Job". Yes it's true!!!!! It happened to a friend of my wife and the person that said this, is a teacher in a nursery school. Do you believe this? do you believe that these people give the first bases of education to our kids? In the next days i will also have the address, the name of the racist school and a photo so that parents that are sane don't send their kids there.
I cannot also understand we don't we try to collaborate with foreign people for our own good. Use their experience and their knowledge and learn new ways. We cannot deny anymore that the borders are changing and the civilisations are not pure anymore. For god shake we are not living in the age of the Ancient Greeks that stereotyped and called barbarian all people who were non-Greek.
I can only hope that one day Greeks around the world won't be treated the same way we treat people from Africa, Albania, Pakistan, India.
Only then i think we will realise the problem.
P.S. Where is the Greek Church? I thought that Christ taught people to love each other without discrimination. I thought church is there to help the weak and poor. I thought church is there for all human beings no matter their religion. Well the reality from fantasy is thousands of miles away.
Please change minds before it's too late........
P.S. 2 I forgot to tell you that recent researches proved that Greece is not the center of the world.
