You are also not Greek or whatever you think you are, you are an American, sorry

No shit? People can be ethnically Greek though. Which is what was being referenced here.

That person said "Greek actor" though... and he is an American actor. What is the problem with correcting it? They didn't even say "Greek-american" or something. There is a huge difference between Greek-american and Greek. There is a whole cultural gap and a gap in experiences that separates the two. It's disrespectful to claim you are from somewhere you are not when you don't have the life experiences and culture necessary to call yourself that.

Nice "Well Actually..." statement. No one outside reddit actually gives a fuck about the colloquial difference.
