Feel free to talk about anything that you want.

Because the holders of the Genocides record are trying to use every excuse to attack the native Cypriot people. They can't help it... attacking native people is the only thing they know how to do well.


Actually Sotos it is more because it is an easy way to IGNORE racism in Cyprus rather than do what should be done which is to confront it and condemn it. Such a shame given that in the previous thread I already linked to you were about the only Greek speaking Cypriot who was willing to unreservedly condemn the blatant racism shown HERE on this forum and not try and ignore it or deflect from it or excuse it on the basis that 'no TC can talk about racism in Cyprus'. :(

You most likely get the same treatment I would get had I landed in Jamaica.

Racism is built into Man and so can never be eliminated, so the sooner you accept this fact and deal with it with a sense of humor the sooner you'll be happier.

Your half right GR. Prejudice is natural although somewhat base human behaviour, but racism is artificial and just like the Cyprus problem is a question of justice. Reparations should be paid for example. There is however no history of injustice between the nation of Jamaica and the nation of Cyprus. However I am hesitant to say that what the OP experiences is merely "prejudice". We have "imported racism" stemming from our desire to be seen as "White" and absorb as much of their culture as possible. We are bombarded with subliminal "racial" ideas from the U.S. that saturate radio, tv, film and the internet. This "imported racism" exists in Cyprus and is probably the cause of the described "disgust" and this is something that can be eliminated if we are strong in our own values and culture.

...sitting with my friend Errol one day in a cafe, a sleeze bucket b-lines for him and says, "brother, can you give me some money, i need to eat', to which he quickly reached into his pocket to give the man some money. I said, "that man is not your brother, he's a mooch", he said, "you have to be Black to understand".

...another day we went to visit our friend, a musician playing in a local club, we ordered two beers, and when the waitress returned, she places a beer in front of my friend. He says, "we ordered two beers", she says, ''we don't serve Iranian faggots", Errol asked, "how do you know he is a faggot", she says because he's Iranian and he didn't pinch my ass. I said, "you see Errol, you don't have to be a brother to be a brother".

You will always feel this weakness in others who fear what is strange to them. You are a star, like Kojak would say, because of your uniqueness.

...redjade, i bet you are beautiful; welcome. Be loving, truly, it is what the weakest of us need, suffer Peace, cheers.

@tsuk, well said. The Imperialism of Language where all the Ethnography of the Human beings on this planet is threatened with extinction, where Languages are going extinct at a rate faster than the Animals and the Plants we seem only slightly more aware of. The world is changing fast, and faster, at a rate which is Logarithmic. While the Occidental world offers so much that is alluring, in every action there are costs, some we ignore completely, and some we avoid, but as science has it the actions are opposite and equal, nothing is created or destroyed, it is something to think about if we would like to imagine that in two hundred years, Greek will be willingly learned in schools by children. If Greek, (and the other languages that define the Cypriot ethnos), are to survive, and thrive, they must be someway useful; something to think about at the crossroad to three continents (and seven World Religions, if i'm not mistaken): are we welcoming enough, as facilitators of exchange, how can we be better at it?

Well said Sis.


Be careful Kokkinoujade - this poster has said some of the worst and most sexist things ever on this forum.

The only racism in Cyprus is that which you excuse and "IGNORE" which is STATE sponsored racism perpetrated 24/7 in the illegally occupied north of Cyprus. You ignore it because you want the Turks to continue their occupation as it suits the TCs.

Seeing you want to champion racism in Cyprus Erol,

What could possibly be more racist than the ethnic cleansing of 185,000 odd native Cypriots from their homeland in north Cyprus by Turkey? :?

To be honest if I was a TC I’d be embarrassed to talk about racism.

Have a look here Kokkinoujade

cyprus43808.html

or

cyprus43807.html

To be frank this forum is probably just about the worst place possible to try and have a serious discussion about racism in Cyprus, in general terms or in your own personal experience.
