I am not an greek

I am just tired of this. I am born in England therefore I am English. My dad is Greek though. I am fair skinned so people always ask were I am from since I have started college . I say England but there always reply no oringally. So i say I am English and my dad is Greek so they say something positive about Greece. I have an white friend who is polish and no one asks were he is from and why because he is white so they assume he is English. HE IS CONSIDERD MORE ENGLISH THAN ME. WHAT!!! Sometimes people will ask me ilabout Greek food . It's just annoying and I feel that non white people are being discriminated against . It's just annoying . Has anyone experienced this ?

No...

Is your name a Greek name? The people are just trying to make conversation, I don't think they do it to be deliberately annoying.

My parents are Chinese but I am born in England.

I must be English and not Chinese then

My name is Charles

You're not English either with that grammar.

So you're half Greek which means you probably look a bit different to the average white Brit(I don't mean that in a derogatory way).

I'd hardly call it discrimination if they say positive things about Greece.

I'd consider you English if you considered yourself English. But I really want to know if you have one of those fantastic Greek surnames.

I don't have dual nationalyy. I am not ashamed of my background but I am english

I'd consider you English if you considered yourself English.

Ok, not to seem nit picky, but if your father is Greek then it's a possibility you have a greek surname, no?


And anyway, like I said, they're probably making conversation. And you maybe english by birth and nationality, but surely you have greek heritage
