    Whoever loves Greece is Greek already. Greeks are hospitable people with compassion for the poor and tortured in life people. It’s tough to live due to the unemployment in the motherland but if you manage to settle and mingle whatever difficulty you may find you are NEVER alone. Always someone from your closed ones will be eager to help you and your family will never leave you helpless. Hope all the best to all the Greeks around the world and never forget where you come from and be proud of it! Πολλα φιλια με πολλη αγαπη σε ολους και όλες σας!

    Καταλαβαίνω, τέτοια πράγματα είναι δύσκολα, αλλά πάντα να συνεχίσουμε. Να φτιάξουμε τα ελληνικά μας άψογα και να γίνουμε πραγματικοί Έλληνες. Δεν είναι καλό ότι υπάρχουν άνθρωποι που καταδικάζουν παιδιά που μεγάλωσαν στο εξωτερικό αφού δεν είχαν την επιλογή να μάθουν ελληνικά καλά στα σπίτια τους.

    About the last question “What can diaspora Greeks do to help the crisis striken motherland”: They need to make sure their kids get good education and get into positions of power in their countries so that they can assist the motherland diplomatically and/or by calling out the corruption and the criminal elite in the motherland.

    From (3:38 min - Alexandra, 4:18 min - Christina, ending to 5:26 min Despina) all three ladies are gorgeous!! Does not matter, what you are to others (Greek - American, Greek - Chinese or Greek Japanese). Be pride for what you are, to your families! All of sudden while you born in America, "you are Greek - American, Greek Japanese and goes on". While, there is not much difference when it comes to locals to join other nationalities and call their self (Brazilian - American, South African - American, Chinese - African). Sounds like beat quite nasty the fact the word Greek - American. Is a sick + toxic situation = vomit situation, while the society supposed is moved few decades ahead, people mind are literally stuck in Dinosaur era or way back in Ottoman Empire!! Many kisses from Ireland! Πανεμορφες γινεκες κε η 3!! Πολα φιλια απο Ιρλανδια!

    It's nice when you have a large Greek community close like Chicago or Boston but out west the Greek community is scattered. I've only dated non-Greek women but I'm half Greek anyway. I've been to Greece 3 times and I taught in Istanbul/Constantinople. I recognize my Greek half but I call myself an American- no hyphens. The only Greeks I meet in our small Arizona desert town are largely 1/2 or 1/4 Greek. I think I've met only two full blooded Greeks here. Would some Greek woman date a half Greek or do they have to be 100%, nobody is 100% pure.

    Το να είσαι Έλληνας δεν έχει καμία σημασία που γεννήθηκες η αν απλός μιλάς την γλώσσα. Υπάρχουν Έλληνες στην Ελλάδα αγράμματη χωρίς παιδεία κ ενδιαφέρον για τα ιστορικά, κουλτούρες και θρησκευτικά της Ελλάδας. Το αντίθετο βλέπουμε στην Ελλάδα που παιδιά τώρα στην ηλικία σου το παίζουνε American gangsters παρά Έλληνες. Με την λογική σου θα λέγαμε ούτε αυτά τα παιδιά δεν είναι Έλληνες. And that’s ok “bro” no shame in that.
