There are racists in Greece, as I’m sure you know. There are racist immigrants to the US. I find racism somewhat difficult to understand where ever is appears, because it seems to be based in stupidity while promoted by otherwise smart people.

I don’t disagree about that, but damn her appearance doesn’t scream white Anglo-Saxon to begin with (just saying). So I just can’t fathom how they can turn around and be prejudiced towards others while ignoring what their parents or grandparents went through. Plus I doubt she knows much about Golden Dawn given how Greek-Americans in general (at least the multi-generational ones) are not so well-versed about their country other than the superficial aspects of it (no, joining a Greek fraternity does not make them in tune with Greek culture all of a sudden).

Racist immigrants in the US in general, I still can’t understand that. How can one person on one end complain about being a victim of prejudice and bigotry yet turn around and be prejudiced towards others when it doesn’t fit their slant?
