Well, they do say it about anybody really, and they'd definitely say it for a German...although we're not a particularly racist country, otherwise we wouldn't have "embraced" the Albanians despite all the problems they're causing. I think poor Bulgarians are at the wrong side of the fence, I mean if you were consistently called a "Greek" as an insult, how would you feel when you met a real Greek? It's funny because we share the same religion but the Serbians, for example, would be seen in a much more favourable light than the Bulgarians would be. Maybe there is an explanation somewhere but I don't know Bulgarian people well to be able to form a hypothesis. Can you?

p.s. I have nothing against Greeks either, 2 of my grandparents were practically porn in Greece, although they are 100% bulgarian ... until at age 10 they were KICKED out due to border changes ... maybe that's the problem - all those Balkanadian countries just have too intertwined history ... and the Balkanadians have way too much pride.. OPPA (Watching the Big FAt Greek WEdding though, it applies to BG just as good haha)

That Greek family in MBFGW was sooo exaggerated. Those are the Greeks of the diaspora
It has to do with what you say as well. The Greeks see possible theats everywhere, that they'd try to claim parts of their territory eventually...Turkey with Cyprus and the sea territory...Albania with South Epirus...the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia for claiming the name and the history. So they refer to the threat of the idea of the "Big Bulgaria", probably including those territories before the border changes took place as well.
But We're geting so offtop now! Haku will be understandbly so pissed off
