It's ah, so interesting to see what Greeks looked like in the US imaginary in years past. The illustration of the Greek fruit seller in the article (from a sheet music cover of the "Yes! We have no banans" song [1]) is from the 1920's a time when Greeks had just started emigrating to the US. I confess the man in the picture looks like more of a Turkish stereotype to me, or maybe like a Moorish pirate (what are those huge ear rings!). Anyway, interesting stuff. It's always surprising to see how your kind is seen by people in faraway lands. For instance, I would be really curious to know how the Japanese might have seen my people, but there's never been a big migration to Japan from Greece so we'll never know. But I'm guessing: big noses. And even bigger moustaches! _______________ [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yes!_We_Have_No_Bananas#/media/File:Yes!_We_Have_No_Bananas.png https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yes!_We_Have_No_Bananas#/media...
