Sounds like certain countries are just like certain people. Gullible.
Can you imagine how the Greek public feels?
Greece took in a lot of people in the Albanian diaspora. Albanians fled to Greece and a few other countries to get away from a huge national pyramid scheme that collapsed and sucked the wealth out of the country---left almost everyone penniless.
So a lot of them fled to Greece to escape a problem that Greeks feel they themselves created and are responsible for.
Greeks by nature are quite xenophobic and they're upset because they feel Albanians fled to steal jobs from Greeks and live there, instead of fixing their crappy government.
If you've ever met a racist white Southerner from the Deep South... you will be taken aback by how angry and xenophobic some Greeks can get when you mention the Albanian diaspora in their presence.
I guess many Greeks can see through a political correctness fad and say what they feel---after all their civilization has been around thousands of years before Christ; how can we be critical of them for that?
I'm sure the United States can't be too popular right now with the Greek public, knowing that we had a central role to play in Greek politicians bankrupting the country.
