I would like to start this article by kindly asking the native English speaking people to help me find the right English words to describe how sad and how mad I am with a UK TV programme that was played on Channel 4 with the title “The Romanians are coming”.

And you may wonder who am I.

I am a non-Romanian, living, working and raising a family IN ROMANIA.

My wife is Romanian, my best friend is Romanian and my own kid when it comes will be a Romanian. (After his mother and because will grow up here)

I am being paid by a Romanian company and I develop products that address Romanian people.

I work next to Romanians colleauges and I meet Romanians every day for the last almost 4 years and until today, I never met anyone to be even close to what they presented in this programme.

If you didn't see this programme I would highly recommend it if you like to be fooled or if you like to learn how you can humiliate a whole country with lies.

I write this article because I felt offended and mad to be confronted with such disgusting lies for a whole nation especially when this nation belongs to the same union (EU) with those that created this programme.

But I am a reasonable person that always uses logic, so I tried to find out why.

Why would someone hate Romanians so much that would be able to create a whole TV programme presenting the 6% of a country as a general reality?

I know why, they hate them because these Romanians have the talent to speak fluently 3-4 languages, while they speak only one.

They hate them because they are able to provide EVERYTHING to their families even if they have the smallest salary in Europe.

They hate them because they sacrificed themselves and like real heroes stopped Ottomans from going northern.

They hate them because Romanian is the second spoken language in Microsoft.

They hate them because they invented the pen that we use to write.

They hate them because they say “good morning” and smile.

They hate them because men here still kiss the hands of women.

They hate them because the say “I thank you from my soul”, "multumesc din suflet”.

Not enough reasons to hate them? Well,

They hate them because of that young girl named Simona Halep, who was born and raised in this “pathetic” country and she became a tennis champion defeating anyone on her way. (Only 23 years old).

They hate them because they never imagined that anyone could ever get 10 in gymnastics and their electronic systems were not ready to give three 10s to the 14 years old Nadia Comaneci in the Olympic games of 1976. The billboards showed 1.0 which was actually 10. No one else got these points ever again.

Well, I am from Greece, a country surrounded by sea and with more than 1200 islands.

I had the luck in my life to visit the most popular of them.

I will share with you some videos from these islands and believe me from all these people that you see there, nobody is Romanian.

I leave you to guess where they are from.

(I warn you, scenes are indecent and not appropriate).

I wonder, would it be nice if these videos were used to represent a whole country? I think not, because they don't. It would be a LIE.

The same happened with this programme. They used scenes and videos that represent a minority of 6% to speak about a whole nation.

I am really sorry because lying is not just disrespect, is a shame.





Sorry for my English, but I am not Romanian!
