Well, it might be all right for you. But as a Turk, I would prefer my people live with the truth, live with less lies and not live with a superficial and empty boast. Because that is not normal and not good for them, for us.  

 

Dont use this phrase "as a Turk" too often, people are beginning to think you are not.

 I am sure, you are not.

Why would one need to repeat it over and over again. We can see who is a Turk and who is not, right?

Ah, you who accused me being an Armenian a few years ago and then insisted that it was not a racist remark{#emotions_dlg.lol_fast}. And now you are trying to say something which wont be racist. right? What if i were not a Turk? would it make me less valuable or would you make you look  more clever or less racist?

Talk to the hand mate, talk to the hand.

You might think you are insulting a person by calling him not a Turk (or the other one calls people as ´an Armenian´.

I thought you had nothing to do with the races!! {#emotions_dlg.lol_fast}

And I am "sure" this does not mean you are a racist...

I think I explained it but you don´t wnat to understand.

 

Again:

 

It was a modification of "içimizdeki İrlandılar" told by Mustafa Denizli before Turkia-Eire EC qualification match. I won´t go into detail why he called some people that way (A Türk would likely understand it). I just substituted İrlandalı with Ermeni. A Türk would see what I meant. You probably cannot because... You know what I mean...

In Turkey, normality for this kind is what Si++ is.

When racism is so common, it looks like normal to themselves. They would never call themselves racist as they know the word, racism, has a bad reputation, associated with nazis or skinheads etc. But they would think calling a person ´you are not a Turk´ would be an insult, or calling a person ´you are an Armenian´ would be an insult. It is like a person saying that ´I believe in sexual freedom and I am not a homophobic´ and then calling people ´gay´ as an insult. That is what I was trying to say about ´some dont even realize they are racist. They probably thinkn racism happens in Germany only´ lol

The most pathetic part of it is that ´it is done by a Turk to a Turk about being a Turk´

´It is done by a Turk to a Turk about being a Turk´.

Who are you talking about? There is one Turk here. Either you or I. It´s exclusive or.

 

If you are a Turk then I am not.

Yeah, I think I am as well. I am leaving "being a Turk" to somebody else here.
