I had someone get up in my face about how using the greek alphabet doesn't make us greek and because we're not up-to-date on greek culture, we're hardly greek and shouldn't call ourselves such.

So, history, defense? Why do we call ourselves greek and how do you defend it?
Tell that person to do some damn research. Then ask them what their first name is, and then prod them with follow up questions about the origin of it, why it was chosen and how they aren't truly authentic to it or something. Get all up in thier face like they did you. It's one time when arrogance is okay.
