You don't have to, it's about Greek mods deleting my messages on the Tom Hanks thread in Greek Forum. There are just some facts they find hard to digest about those they love to claim as their own...but you're right about caring. No need to except to stand up for the facts.

HeY...psssst... (very low voice) they are greeks born in Albania... thought you like to know.... HeY...psssst...what about her father's name/bloodline...and his Muslim/Slavic heritage ? Yeh, so much for her parents or Rita being 100% Greeks "born" in Albania... and so much for Rita being 100% Greek Orthodox..She's neither. "Father: worked at a racetrack; changed family name from Ibrahimoff to Wilson, selecting the name from the street on which they lived in Southern California; born in Greece but raised in Bulgaria; lived in Turkey before emigrating to the USA" www.eonline.com/celebrities/profile/?uuid=7d0ddffa-03f2-41ed-9443-a08bfb81f9ffHalf Greek (mother Dorothy, born and raised in a Greek village on the Albanian border) and Pomak (Bulgarian Muslim) from Bulgaria (father, born in Greece and lived in Bulgaria and Turkey, and who worked at a racetrack). www.imdb.com/name/nm0001854/bio Name : Rita Wilson Birth Date : October 26, 1958 Birth Place : Los Angeles, California, USA Birth Place : Margarita Ibrahimoff Height : 5' 8 Education : London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art in London, U.K. Nationality : American Spouse : Tom Hanks (actor; married on April 30, 1988) Profession : Actress www.netglimse.com/celebs/pages/rita_wilson/index.shtmlFunny, Rita has a heritage similar to GreekSlav, except for the Ibrahimoff/Mulsim heritage of Rita's dad, and from the information we get on her bio in the internet, she too, is as proud of her heritage as GreekSlav. Now, ain't that a kick in Calliope's head, in all the bull she posted about Rita Wilson and Tom Hanks. lol.. ;D illyria.proboards19.com/index.cgi?board=hellasgreece&action=display&thread=1198189489&page=2#1198363145 ;D IbrahimoffChildhood and Family: Rita Wilson was born Margarita Ibrahimoff on October 26, 1958, in Los Angeles, California, to a Bulgarian father and a Greek mother. She and her family lived in Bulgaria and Turkey before immigrating to the US. The family then changed their last name to “Wilson” (from the name of a local street in Southern California).Young Rita did early modeling after being discovered by a fashion photographer at age 14. She later decided to study acting and worked at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. www.superiorpics.com/rita_wilson/

I have read on these forums that if you think and feel Greek, you are Greek. Neftali, how do you think Rita's father feels. Greek or Bulgarian? Do you beleive he was brought up as a Greek in Bulgaria? In my mind, it is a reasonable assumption that this can occur but would be a bit difficult. Are many Greeks here basing their claims on her father being Greek because he was born there? My mother was born and raised in Greece but has always claimed to be a Macedonian Slav, even though she respects Greece, the Greeks and the Greek culture. How can some Greeks explain that? Can they understand that she was brought up as a Macedonian but was also taught to respect Greece and the Greeks? It can be a reasonable assumption for those with open minds. Now the question would be how can my mother be a Macedonian when she was born in Greece and surrounded by the Greek culture? How can Rita's father feel Greek (if he does) when raised in Bulgaria? On the same note, how can someone be and feel Greek, know to speak Greek, if born in America? The culture, if different, inside the walls of every home is a small world in itself, separate and detached from the culture outside.

Do you beleive he was brought up as a Greek in Bulgaria? With a name like Ibrahimoff, I'm sure the Pomak was obviously raised as a Bulgarian Muslim Slav, speaking his own Bulgar language because he was only born in Greece, not raised there. Then, he lived in Turkey for some reason or another, the links say nothing else about her father's upbringing, nor her mother's in Albania, even though, I stress, she is ethnically Greek. Last thing an Albanian, or any person, wants to do is claim someone who makes themselves look like fools or worse, a traitor to this nation. Tenet, being accused of treason by many in the intelligence community and obviously Mrs <Ibrahimoff> Wilson, who was originally named Genkos. ;D

LMAO ROFLLLLLLLLLLLLL...Rex You are the king..
grksdied4you, no one cares what Rita calls herself....NOW THAT we know the truth about her father's and mother's origins.
Now, no matter how many times she tells Spielberg she is GreekOC, he knows her real last name was changed from Ibrahimoff, a well known Pomak Muslim Bulgarian Slavic/Arabic name.
