ok folks, its my grandmother's turn now
i've had just about enough of her.
she's full on greek, and if she could marry anyone besides her husband, it would be jesus.
and she HATES anyone who doesn't follow the same beliefs as her, for example, my Auntie's boyfriend, who happens to be turkish, isn't allowed in her house. she won't even let us mention his name.
and when my sister mentions a muslim name or whatever, she's told my my gran never to speak to them
she's seriously gotta get over it, cause its pissing me off.
and just one more thing,
she's always wanted me to be like other people. in primary school, she was always comparing me to the "beautiful" and "smart" people, saying "why can't you be more like them"
its like i've never lived up to her expectations, and she'll always be dissapointed in me, and who i've become.

I kinda know what you mean. My grandma is 89 years old and the perfect exapmle of a racist old lady. My dad has the nationality of just about every country you can think of in northern Europe. My mom is Greek (1, ill talk about Greekness later, 2 thats in southern europe) so she didnt even come to my parent's wedding. HER OWN SON'S WEDDING! it took her a few years to get over and accept my mom. Now my sister has been going out with someone from South Korea (coolest guy i ever met) for 4 years and my grandma doesnt know. More importantly, she isnt going to find out.
And that little thing about your grandma being greek has nothing to do with they way she is. Its just her persionality, as you might have noticed from my last little paragraph, im half greek and i dont mind anyone due to race, just persionallity.
And the whole deal on comparing is just pathetic on her part. I dont exactly know you, but im sure your grandma is too busy compairing you to others to see how great you really are.

Unfortunetely, she's old, and it's very hard for someone her age to change her beliefs. That isn't an excuse, and she shouldn't discriminate, but she was never taught that. Im sorry you have to deal with that though, it isnt' fair to you at all.

Wow.
You kinda have it bad . . .
But I think you should live up to your own expectations, not your grand mum's.

Well, not all Greeks are like that. I am Greek. I am not like that.
And, consider that Greeks had many trouble with Turks. Turks killed half of the Greeks back then. So, give her a chance.
Plus, if she compared you, then it;s her fault. Not yours.
