I am Turkish and finding out about the Chios massacre only now. It is sad. I read some of the comments and I am glad to see the typical hatred isn't there. Just wanted to say that I am a big fan of Tina Fey and still keep visiting random old 30 Rock episodes when I am down :) Hadn't heard about this show, watched the Larry David episode prior to this and it was great; was so happy to see RUclips suggest one with Tina Fey.
To say that the Asian DNA that they have is Turkic is very stupid. Even most Turks don't have Turkic DNA because they were in small number when they came to the region and had to heavily mix with local population to the point that they become genetically identical with the people of the area they conquered. The Asian DNA is probably native Anatolian DNA that Turks also have but predates them to the area. And the Caucasus DNA is most lucky Armenian. Also, Turkic DNA is categorized as Central Asian and not as Middle Eastern.
Most of the turkish people have greek origin , Lots of greeks conerted to islam and assimileted to turkish. Thats why turkish culture and greek cultere are so similar. And turks from ottoman era wasnt seeing greeks as inferiors and they had rights.
Even though I am just 10% Greek. Which, it makes sense since my Great-grandfather immigrated from Athens. I am still deeply Greek in culture, heart, & soul. 3>
One of English university professor once told me how proud the English are of their Hellenic culture. When discussing a topic about culture and civilization, a French professor professed that they (the FRENCH) see themselves as the continuation of the GRECO-ROMAN culture. Hellenism is a global entity. There is a little bit of Greek in every freedom loving and honorable human. Isn't it amazing that the almost 200 years the Greek civilization flourished is still injecting the ageless, never-ending, values and knowledge.
Caucasus was a Hellenic (Greek) region. Guess it's intriguing for the show but not so decent for those you suppose to help by your research.. right? Good show though
Most of Greeks who arrived in USA during the 1890-1920 era come from Peloponnesos (especially Laconia and Arcadia ). Later waves of Greek migrants come from all places of Greece and a large part comes from the Greek refugees of Minor Asia.
I LOVE Greek History. So fascinating! It is honestly surprising to hear that most of them do not know more about their history. But I love their reactions when they find out how great their ancestors were. ♥️♥️♥️♥️
If you've lived your life with the overwhelming desire to open a diner.... you might have Greek in your background. that and a strong affinity for lemons, mirrors, candles and anything made of marble.
its just so amazing to see yourself as a part of something bigger, the continuation of the deeds of a living person to whom you are the extension. seeing their faces is like seeing people having understood a higher pholosophical meaning, seeing life without the constraint of time
Tina Fay's face shows that she couldn't care less about her family going through major events of the 1821 War like the Chios Massacre, or about her ancestor being a decorated war veteran.

Caucasus has a greek name....that area is so deeply connected with Ancient Greece that evens appears even in Greek Mythology
From the territory of caucuses , it could be Armenian, Georgian , not necessarily Turkish....

To all the Hellenes. Don't forget Cyprus! The struggle goes on. We are here to uphold the Hellenic values and tradtions.

Very interesting .we Greeks should not forget our history, and how hard our ancestors fought for Freedom and country.
