Let's talk about a person.
This person could be anyone.
Let's say he lives in Europe.
He could be English, French, Spanish or German
but let's not decide on that just yet.
Let's call him
Alex.
Now, Alex doesn't have a girlfriend yet.
He has some mates, family...
He lives with his pet that he gave a funny name to to.
He likes to ride his bike.
He takes sugar in his coffee.
he dreams that one day...
He will be able to travel the world.
This is who he his.
This person could be you or me.
Let's make things more complicated.
Let's say Alex is Greek.
Based on the stories you hear,
Alex is also a lazy, cheating...
ungrateful, helpless, corrupt, violent
rude, racist, tax invading, trouble making thieving vandal that lives with his mother.
Well the stories say it...
so it must be true.
But in reality, Alex is
shocked, confused, frustrated, upset
because he has to spend his time defending himself against the stereotype
just like anyone else would do.
And these days,
everyone is interested in Alex.
Why?
Well, there is a crisis happening in Europe and everyone's feeling
shocked, confused, frustrated, upset.
So someone must be blamed.
Someone's fault this whole mess is.
Someone who is behind it all.
Alex!
The lazy cheating Greek bastard.
The stories say it,
so it must be true.
Unless
he can prove otherwise.
Well
Can he?
