MM:

I have noticed that Southern Europeans (Southern Italians, Greeks, etc.) are wonderfully unencumbered with the inanities of political correctness. They cannot be made to feel guilty the way descendants of Northern Europeans can. Ditto for Eastern Europeans, too. The playing of the race card, for example, I notice, never works on most of them.

God bless them!

The explanation I used for that was actually borrowed from a Greek I met when I was over there.

If your civilization's been around in the same spot for thousands of years, you do feel quite a sense of "entitlement" that's lost on other people.

To be fair though, Greeks may poo-poo the Turks all the time, but they've become co-dependant countries. It's kind-of like the relationship between the UK and France.
