Nia Vardalos Shows Support To The Greeks On Social Media

Please don't judge a country's people based on the actions of a governement.

While Greece is in a complex political situation, Nia Vardalos, the star and screenwriter of My Big Fat Greek Wedding, took to social media to remind the world what “hard-working” and “loving” people the Greeks are.

Vardalos, daughter of Greek Canadian parents, shared her pride for being a Greek on her Facebook page.

“As a Greek (and a very proud Greek), I’ve encountered comments such as, ‘they should have paid their taxes.’ The ignorance of this comment is profoundly upsetting and selectively obtuse," the star said.

She added that she would have hoped that “society wouldn’t simply swallow the jaded media’s typical dissemination of false information”.

Vardalos then reminded the world that Greece is a beautiful nation of hard-working, loving people, “who would invite you into their home and even give you their bed.

“Please don’t judge a country’s people based on the actions of a government” she concluded.
