She is NOT Greek in any way.
She is from Canada and lives in USA.

Why is her appropriation ok?
And Tom Hanks and his wife should shut the fuck up from now on, talking about what is ok or not to appropriate.

That would be the only good thing trump has ever done in his life, getting rid of her.
Yet, trump is not gonna be in charge of jack shit, other than cleaning his prison cell.

Why would getting rid of her be "a good thing" ?
What have you got against her?

She is not Greek.
She built her own persona about being Greek.

She is first generation in Canada. Both of her parents were born in Greece and immigrated to Canada.

Which makes her 0% Greek.

Makes her 100% Greek descent

Sure, she is American, her ascendants must be coming from somewhere else unless they are Native Americans.
Still, 100% American, 0% Greek.
