It's probably worth noting that although I'm ethnically Greek, my grandfather was actually born in Turkey and came through Greece on his way to the United States.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am proud of being a Greek of the diaspora.
And, of course, it must be asked: is it proper to transact with the Turks for the most reassured of Greek possessions when Greece is under Turkish invasion and subjugation?
My father is from Bosnia, and my mother is from Croatia, but I was born in Sweden.
My dad is Greek and my mum Jamaican. My grandparents brought me up for most of my childhood, but I saw my mum and dad all the time.
I was researching my family tree, and I was deeply hoping I was going to turn out to be Eastern European, but I'm not.
My family is a Jewish Iranian family, but I was born in Turkey and raised in Italy. So it's a very mixed background.
My mother is Greek and my father is Bulgarian. I am a first-generation American and native Los Angeleno. I was born and raised in Hollywood.
I have never felt any ethnic connection between the Greeks and me other than how hairy I am.
My grandfather was from outside of Moscow, and my grandmother, although some of her family were French, was from Odessa. They met as immigrants in New York in the early '20s. My mother's family came over from Ireland generations ago.
You gotta understand, my great-grandfather was German and Irish. My grandmother was Indian, and my grandfather was African-American, so we all got a little something in us.
