Where are all the stupid Southern Europeans like filthy Greeks?

Oh yeah forgot they've contributed nothing of worth in the past 500 years.

Yeah, absolutely nothing, maybe except of spreading Renaissance to Europe (see Greek emigre scholars), saving millions of women through to pap test, contributing to the world more than any other occupied country during ww2 (see days of resistance by country) and many other achievements that I can refer

Also should the fact that we never stole anything from the 3Rd world, or that we didn't use African slaves to build our economy be considered an achievement?
