I didn´t realise that kurdish people were treated any different to Turkish people, and I also didn´t know that they get paid less, and have poorer education, is there some reasoning behind this?
hahahaha that`s the whole issue, you`ve been to Turkey and never witnessed A kurd`s being treated differently, but you will believe that they are treated differently just because some propagandists here and there say so.

but I have to admit that Kurds have to take the back seats on public buses and use a different entrance to the public buildings.

I think you should go and check the section
http://www.turkishclass.com/turkish/forum/forumTopic_30
This kurdish issue is an embarrassing issue for all of us..
It is not a few years, not 30 years but since the beginning of our republic they have been subjected to this treatment..
But very very recently, people in Turkey realised that there was indeed a problem and the problem itself was the racism..
But they are working hard on the issue in these days...Despite the annoyance of the racist and ultra nationalists!!

Don´t forget that untill 1991, using the Kurdish language was banned in Turkey. That´s not that long ago! It was even in my lifetime, and I´m as young as a spring blossom
When I talk to people in Turkey, I still notice a lot of racism. I´m getting bored and irritated about it. I have some Kurdish friends, and they are great people. But strangly enough, I´ve also been on the other side My partner is Zaza (google it) and he speaks Zaza and Kurdish, but looks Turkish (whatever that means). We were visiting a touristic place in Turkey, and we were already dressed up for dinner. And there were some Kurdish kids, talking bad about us in Kurdish. Something in the lines of "Look at that slick Turkish guy. He thinks he´s all that with his suit, and his girlfriend. He should just ´bleeeeep´ off" on which my partner replied, in Kurdish "Really, you think I should ´bleeeep´ off?" Shock on the faces of the boys, and they ran away
The only thing I seem to notice about Kurdish culture is bigger families. It´s hard for me to see from the outside what is Kurdish, what is Turkish, what is Arabic, and what is any other kind of culture that can be found in Turkey. It all mixes and blurs at some point. Oh, and I notice the music and dancing ofcourse

I think the best way to understand the person is to know his family and their traditions, customs.
