[QUOTE="GreekOrthodox, post: 76401374, member: 271308"] How do you label someone productive? Do you need a PhD to get in? One of my fellow chanters passed away this year. At the age of 9, he and his best friend were escaping from Albania into Greece and his friend was shot and killed at the border. He escaped and joined his 12 year old brother who had escaped the previous year. The two of them lived in the woods for a year before being joined by the rest of the family. He served in the Greek navy and eventually immigrated to the US. He was relatively uneducated but built his own business and sent his children to college. He passed away at the age of 82. Not bad for what people called in the early 1900s as "lazy, dirty Greeks" On February 21, 1909, a major [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_Town_Riot']anti-Greek riot[/URL] took place in [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Omaha,_Nebraska']South Omaha, Nebraska[/URL]. The Greek population was forced to leave the city, while properties owned by Greek migrants were destroyed.[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Greek_sentiment#cite_note-60'][60][/URL] Greeks were viewed with particular contempt in the Mormon stronghold of Utah. The local press characterized them as "a vicious element unfit for citizenship and as ignorant, depraved, and brutal foreigners." - [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Greek_sentiment#United_States"]Anti-Greek sentiment - Wikipedia[/URL] [/QUOTE]
