Thank you, Doug, for your call to leave the “Greeks” outta the case. I just posted a similar remark on another blog prior to reading this. Aren’t we just referring to 1 Greek in particular, though? There is only 1 sole Greek owner here.

Just a thought, but maybe we should stop referring to the current owners as “the Greeks” and just call them “the current owners.” Considering the negativity associated with them and what they’ve done, I think that the negativity is being attached to their ethnic/national/racial background and not just to them as individuals. Even though unintentional, this seems to be degrading of all individuals with Greek backgrounds. We wouldn’t call them the Jews or the Blacks or the Asians if they belonged to one of those groups – or at least I would hope not. Everybody who’s been paying attention knows that the owners are Greek and let’s leave it at that and not act like we live in the stereotypical redneck south. Again, I know that nobody is intentionally disparaging all Greek people, but in reading some of the posts over again, it just doesn’t seem right to be calling them “the Greeks.”

I’ll step down from my soapbox, now.
