Well, it's kind of like being called a gypsy or a Turk. Many Greeks don't like gypsies or Turks. I personally don't mind the occasional gypsy. Some gypsy gals are quite outstanding. Gypsies come from every region in Europe, even Ireland, and some are more tolerated than others. Albanians aren't necessarily gypsies but they have fled their homeland and entered both Greece and Italy and proceeded to build a life for themselves. Many have Turk (actually Kurdish) like characteristics and traits and this does not sit well with many Greeks or Italians.
Like I said, I don't have a problem with Turks, Albanians, or Gypsies. Usually the problem lies within limited education levels of people, yah?
