Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Well, Jews aren't quite white because the whole religion thing, darker than that Vanity Fair's cover complexion, exotic yet still mostly familiar ingredients food that one can be "into", colorful parental behavior, prominent noses, loud arguments, and coarse dark hair.

Greeks aren't quite white for just about all the same reasons. (They have Christmas and Easter all wrong you know...)

See how much y'all have in common?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I spent precious moments of today reading debates about Colin's height and sexuality. Ah, Internet. Never let me down.

As an Italian-American, I find that "ethnic" means Jews, Greeks and Italians like "urban" means black (and possibly hispanic).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Absolutely. I think "urban" just means black.

BTW, Lea Michele [Sarfati] is a two-fer, Italian AND Jewish! [link]

The thing that confuses me is that Irish Americans have similar stereotype plus "drunkards", but they are not "ethnic"

Our wings are not tired.

"Ethnic" according to answers.com, is anyone who isn't Christian or Jewish.

It's because they're whiter.
