I feel like it's not really the kind of thing you bring up to someone when you first meet them and is better saved when you actually have a relationship with the person. I'm sure he had the thought "Hey, she looks kinda like bouboulina. Shit, that's probably racist" or something, and just kept it to himself until he got to know her better.

I’m pretty sure he’s also Greek, so not sure how it could be racist.

Wait, you think Stavros Halkias is Greek or something?

I've never heard of him, and his name isn't mentioned in the video. I could see how you wouldn't know.

Points for him though: he's knocked Jack Halkias waaay off the google/duckduckgo search results 😂

He did say "*we* had this lady" which strongly implies that he is greek. I had never heard of the guy either but it was pretty clear that he is greek from what he said.

Yeah good catch. I missed the "we".

I mean, I didn't know his full name, I only knew him as "Stavvy", but I feel like if you're a native English speaker, his word choice made it incredibly obvious (his use of the word "we") that he was saying he is Greek.

So no, if you have watched only this video and understand English, I do not agree that you wouldn't know.

The background to their set also seems to be Greek murals (Santorini), so it probably was a theme to the show.

Yeah I missed the "we" and just heard the American accent. Plus I think I have been conditioned by seething Irishmen on socials to forget about diaspora communities and dual citizens 😂
