there are a lot of inter-marriage with greeks. I do not know any statistics about that but all Greeks I know...ALL...have at least an Albanian in their family, close or far (cousin's far level,...),
in fact it is no bad too in term of keeping a good and strong family...
I know plenty of Albanian girls outside the Balkans who don't worth a sh.it. Many have education, but think they are a high level of something...if you marry them, be sure they cannot cook a scramble eggs or wash the plates...

My sisters first love was albanian. It lasted 3 years...
I think he's still in prison for trying to smuggle a huge duffle bag full of marijuana from Mexico on the commuter train <----I'm NOT kidding!

I only read a few posts, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were isolated incidents of these marriages with women from poorer villages. Personally ,I've never seen these couples and I would imagine the practice to be socially unacceptable.

I do not like it for other Albanians to marry non-Albos, their children usually lose their idendity but I accept...jews who are the more conservatives about that, the more endogam cannot avoid mix-marriages (when the father is non-jewish, the jewish continuity is lost...in theory)... concerning myself I could marry a non-alb but it doesn't work. no way to support her for a long life...it could probably work with an south-italian but never find one yet...those I met were from North and think only about money, clothes, going to a beautiful party (champagne, special "mezze",...) even if it is annoying (just to say "I was there and I have a social life")... My current girlfriend is Albanian, and I hope we will marry. The only difference is religion, they are from muslim heritage but do not care, do not pratice...more deist...it is better, we understand each other better (why you are angry? what you like to do or do not support etc). Props to putting the religious aspects aside Tele. It annoys me when Albanians go as far to discriminate against others based on religion.

Lol, mob crap is done with Italians. Now its just petty corruption, frauds and all that stuff. Small scale stuff. They arent sending ppl to sleep wit the fishes anymore.
The only thing about Italians is that... save a few... most are pretty unattractive. They tend to have pretty bad skin also. Very rarely do I come upon a hot Italian girl and she is often covered in makeup to hide the acne on her face. Its really nasty.
Thats because there are a lot of Albs who live in Greece. I have a cousin who lives in Athens and married a fatty there. Everyone has been secretly making fun of him for it.

I am already married to "my gorgeous Swedish wife" ;D I think in this century we live in is quite normal to inter-ethnic marriages I would let my kid decide himself for his own life when the times come Swedish? Good for you bato. Although letting the kid decide, it should be mandatory for you to teach him Albanian language at least. ;D My girlfriend is croatian. I can't say i'm prejudiced about inter-ethnic marriages. Although i do understand why some Albanians don't like intermarriages with hispanics, blacks, or middle easterns. That completely changes the genetic make-up of the kids. Myself i'm open minded about it. But i know a black girl and she doesn't like white man or the idea of marrying a white man. This goes both ways. Other cultures have their reservations too.

Telemaque, he got into drugs. That's what happened.
In the beginning, my mother was put off because he was 'albanian'. Then she met him. He became almost part of the family...eating with us at least 2 days a week..watching TV with us...even when my sister wasn't there. Unfortunately his friends dragged him down.

I hosted an Albanian-Pakistani wedding at my job once. The guy was Alb from Montenegro or Macedonia and was marrying a Pakistani woman. The Albanians and the Pakis stayed at completely different sides and never communicated. Many of the Albs were there but were scandalized.

Offspring definitely only with white Europeans. Except it happens by accident.

That expression could use some better word play. In modern Albanian the word for country is related to foot (nation: komb, foot: kemb in Tosk, k<a>omb in Gheg). In ancient Greek the word for foot (poda) has the same implication. Thus podapos = "from what country?".
Maybe you can put some katharevousa to fix up that expression...
Then again, it does already seem to have a play on words... papoutsi.
