Nia Vardalos gave a six-point approach at how she feels.
1. As a very proud Greek, I've encountered comments such as, "they should have paid their taxes."

2. The ignorance of this comment is profoundly upsetting and selectively obtuse.

3. I would have hoped society wouldn't simply swallow the jaded media's typical dissemination of false information.

4. Greece is a beautiful nation of hard-working, loving people who would invite you into their home and even give you their bed.

5. Please don't judge a country's people based on the actions of a government. This article explains the politics.
