AD, I don't deny anyone's right to self identify from a modern perspective.
Why are you so willing to abandon the rich history of your people and refer to them as Greeks when they never did? They were clearly proud East Romans or Romioi. You are using modern names for people that did not identify or relate with the modern Greek identity.
How could you call them Greeks when Greece had nothing to do with them?
Naturally, their offspring are Greek now I would imagine.
