Fan Art: Albanophobia-Expectations vs. Reality
Sorry if this offends anybody.
Expectations: Summed up at the top. Since "phobia" means fear, I assume that Albanophobia must be fear of Albanians, right? Well, no.
Reality: It's DISCRIMINATION. Not fear. I hear it's most common in countries with Albanian minorities like Serbia and Greece. I felt it would be more appropriate to choose Serbia for this dirty work for some reason (the Kosovo issue, probably)

Cf. my post from Sep 8th
"-phobia" has been twisted into a word that can be used to silence opposing voices.

@Dutchbag You mean the criteria?I can't remember exactly, but I recall the different ethnotic, linguistic, religious and tradition characteristics, the will to keep them, the will to practise their own traditions, the significant ammount of people but less than half of the polulation, and most of all, permanent and legal residence in the country.So far, only Muslims meet that criteria.

@Dutchbag Then, it depends on the perspective you see it from.I see it from the official, legal definition of minority.We could also say that blond people here are also a minority because most Greeks have brown hair,but that doesn't really make any sense,does it?To be recognized as a minority, there are several criteria(none of them officially recognized by the international law), and they don't meet them.At least according to our government.

@VickIng As long as the Greek people are bigger in number than the Albanians, they are a minority.

@Dutchbag Of course they exist!Or do you think I meant that only legally recognized minorities exist?I only said it because in the description it says minority,which they are not.

@VickIng You said it yourself. RECOGNIZED minority. If they're not recognized doesn't mean they don't exist.

Well, I don't want to be the smart-ass in here but there is no Albanian minority in Greece :$ ... The only recognized minority is Muslims(mainly from Turkey).Albanians are mostly immigrants...This.

LOL fear of albanians LOL
Nobody in the Balkans fears from the albanians.
We actually always make fun of them. (^_
Where did you heared that "albanophobia" exists on the first place?
The fact that they chose to steal Kosovo from Serbia made people to make fun of them even more.
