Cultural expropriation

The arrogant exclusion of the keeper of one culture with the derision and whitesplaining of the person's own culture added. Used extensively towards greek people and ancient egyptian people (the first mediterranean the second mixed mostly caucasian bit with a 12% of black that would make them called the n word). The depictions of greeks in vases and ruins mostly are mediterran like most modern greeks not northern europeans and the ones of egyptians only a very stupid person would confuse with the people who are acceptedas white. It's culture approppriation that gatekeeps the native of the culture approppriated. For example a museum refuse to give back stolen arts to greek with the excuse that they are lazy (they work way more hours and have less holidays and less gain on average than any northwesternern european) or that the thieves understand better the classic culture stolen

Racist person either from "left" EU style or a conservative doing cultural expropriation :you greek are degenerated to your nordic ancestors

Not self hating greek: even if they were nordic their descendants speak an hellenic language not a germanic language you are the one unrelated
