Romanides as Greek
Romanides was from the country of Greece and was an American citizen, hence "Greek-American". It's an anachronism to describe a 20th century figure as "Roman". There is no such thing as being "ethnically Roman" in the 20th Century. Wikipedia pages should describe people based on things like citizenship or modern ethnic groups, not anachronistically categorizing people based on self perception. Romanides was not a Roman theologian, he was Greek, whether or not he saw himself as Greek is irrelevant when describing him. قرد حكيم (talk) 14:35, 29 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Countless people in modern day Turkey, Syria, Egypt and Palestine, additionally to many anatolian refugees still view themselves as ethnically Roman. Romanides both viewed himself as ethnically Roman and also fought against the ideology of the greek identity. It is a grave insult to him to call him "greek" much less call him a "greek-american". Not only it is a grave insult to his memory, it is also simply incorrect. Being Roman is a modern ethnic group either we like it or not and to deny it is pure West-centrism and orientalism.
 * Romanidis was objectively a citizen of Greece and USA, yet a Roman nationality/ethnicity. Similar to how many ethnic Macedonians in modern greece are characterized as "Greek citizens" yet it is a huge insult to describe ethnic Macedonians as "greeks". Nerevakiin (talk) 08:48, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
