In 2009, the immigrant population in Greece had swelled to nearly 10%—mostly Albanians, Bulgarians, and Romanians. Data from the European Social Survey around that time suggests that Greeks held more negative attitudes toward immigrants than almost any other EU nation, viewing them as competitors for scarce jobs (even before the job scarcity hit). Thus, “TOLERANCE.DATA.2009.1.GREEK” would likely reveal a striking contradiction: a society that prided itself on ancient democratic ideals while practicing a modern, anxious exclusion.
To understand this dataset, one must first understand the peculiar construction of Greek tolerance. Historically, Greece was a relatively homogeneous society after the 1923 population exchange with Turkey. Tolerance there was not the multicultural ideal of a London or New York; rather, it was a philoxenia (hospitality to strangers) rooted in ancient and Orthodox Christian ethics, coupled with a deep suspicion of the “other” as a political or national threat.
Engine management parameters, precise valve clearances, oil pressures, wheel alignment specifications, and fluid capacities. TOLERANCE.DATA.2009.1.GREEK
This would be the dataset’s most volatile column. Surveys from 2009 indicate that while Greeks supported the abstract idea of human rights, concrete tolerance—living next to an immigrant, having a child marry an immigrant, or accepting different religious practices—was low. The data would show a bell curve skewed toward rejection, with a notable spike in the “dislike” category for Muslim immigrants from Pakistan and Afghanistan, foreshadowing the racist violence of the 2010s.
Tolerance Data is an after-sales service tool similar to industry standards like Autodata or Vivid WorkshopData. It provides detailed technical documentation for a wide variety of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles from manufacturers ranging from Alfa Romeo to Volvo.
Precise specifications for engine oil, transmission fluid, coolant, and brake fluid capacities, including the required manufacturer viscosity grades. It is known for having verified, accurate data

Data sets with these naming conventions are critical in several areas:
The exact string TOLERANCE.DATA.2009.1.GREEK may be an internal filename from a specific researcher or institution (e.g., University of Crete or Panteion University). If it does not appear in public repositories, it could be part of an unpublished thesis or a confidential Eurobarometer special module. Thus, “TOLERANCE
The primary value of technical data in the automotive world lies in its role as a universal translator. Every manufacturer has unique specifications for torque settings, belt routing, and electrical resistance. Without access to specialized software, a technician is essentially working in the dark. Programs like Tolerance Data provided a centralized repository of these "blueprints," allowing independent shops to service a wide variety of makes and models—including localized versions for the Greek market—without needing proprietary tools from every single car brand.
