Greek people are indeed white and if you really want to argue the semantics and trivialities of ethnicity I suppose we could. I personally believe ethnicity is stupid and false. I see nothing wrong with my opinion and review. And I do know the definition of ethnicity thank you.

I might as well chime in. Everyone in the movie who was supposed to be greek was greek (of greek ethnicity). I'm not sure what you are arguing. The movie was meant to illustrate how greek-americans stereotypically act. Whether it was a good movie or not, that's your call.

I thought since you are a rookie, and you like to talk about politics, that the Politics thread is a more appropriate forum to discuss things. (I wasn't trying to personally attack you, I was responding to what I perceived to be).
As for suggesting an appropriate thread/forum to post, it's done all the time, I see nothing wrong with what I did so get over it.

It's innapropriate to "pull rank" unless you ae a mod. If someone is a newb and asks for help, you're welcome to give it. Newb's opinions are just as valid as anyone else's.
