The fact you have mentioned 'us' and 'the greeks' etc is part of the reason. The clubs indentity and the inherent racial issues that come with it are the issue, not the ethnicity itself.
The fact you are holding a grudge 20+ years later, despite not even having a team, backs up that the cultural roots ran too deep to change, so the easy way to go about it was to start from scratch.
I'm not saying its right, but i can certainly understand why they did what they did....and i don't think they were being anti-greek, but more anti-violence.
Regarding your thoughts, south Melbourne is us, not solely representative of Greeks, but representative of the true soccer fans of Australia.
They didn't want us, as in our club. If that's the case, they can stick their A league.
