So what do you expect? Its true everyone can find anything on net, so what will be present here to show something? Personal experiences, other peoples opinions, what else left?  No one is able to find an objective source, because then i can question the reliability of Yair Auron and Richard G. Hovannissian, just easy to google. And it is very normal that Mccarthy appreciated by Turkish nation...Its like these are genocide deniers so these people are not reliable and their survey is nothing but garbage... All surveys are garbage, because you can label anyone with anything...

Save your breath, Barba, of course ´we´ westerners are ALL bad & evil, racist, ignorant, Turkey-hating bastards. Of course, because the view some have about some others (misbehaving tourists in barstreet, Wilders-fans etc.) is immediately true for ALL from these countries.

But..... my oh my when ´we´ dare to compare Turks with people from other (Muslim) countries or dare to compare all Turks. (Does the fact that Hrant Dink was killed by a Turk mean that all Turks are murderers?) If we dare to compare, the world, no the universe is too small for the complaints of some. Poor Calimero´s. 

 no matter how much information any one of you can pull off internet or find in a book it really makes no difference it will always continue because as long as humans pay homage to other´s there will be disgruntle´s in the background. All you are doing is trying to keep score and numbers are just numbers. They don´t have any mystical powers

Einstein said it best " Let every man be respected as an individual and no man idolized. It is an irony of fate that I myself have been the recipient of excessive admiration and reverence from my fellow-beings, through no fault, and no merit, of my own."

my opinion

Stop being concerned what the rest of the world says about you. Nasty people can’t make you mad. Nice people can’t make you happy. Events or people are simply events or people. They can’t make you anything. You have to do that for yourself. Whatever emotions arise in you as a result of external events, they’re powerless until you pick them up and decide to act on them.

everyone is a stone thrower there are no innocent parties here I am sure every country does the same - my point....... stop keeping it alive in each generation

"And we are talking about prejudice against Turks not to others, definitely there is prejudice against many people/nations too, for instance Europe has a point of view of Spanish and Europe has a point of view of Turks."

Uhum... You are generalising I don´t have to explain again what that is. Some Europeans have prejudices, that doesn´t mean that "Europe" has a prejudice. Europe is just a piece of ground, of which Spain is a part, as well as a tiny bit of Turkey.

I gave you the rotten apple example to show what people are constantly doing here. Europe is this, Europe is that, because one guy makes a stupid cartoon or one guy says he doesn´t like headscarfs.

greeting gokuyum,

Your link is informative one but honestly I didn´t know most of them and some of those that I know do not sound so negative to me (for example arap saçı.

Personally I think I may use only one of them (arap saçı in my daily speech and others of those I know I don´t use them at all nor do I remember having used any of them in the past (honestly and sincerely).

Still I cannot see something that compares the case the Turks means "dumb" or "stupid" in Dutch/Russian.

Saying İngiliz/Ermeni/Rum/etc bilmemnesi doesn´t necessarily mean that İngiliz/Ermeni/Rum/etc word alone means something negative in the way the word "Türk" means stupid as said above.

For example in the link asking "are you armenian" reportedly means something in a small area in İzmit. Do you think it´s a widespread usage? I don´t think so.

If somebody is good to you, treats you politely... do you ask what their personal background is?

In my opinion, a lot of good people are gypsies but since it´s not stamped on their head people assume they are not gypsies. They don´t fit the stereotypical view of a gypsy. I once met a gypsy man in a Türkü bar who was an amazing drummer. He went to the conservatorium for music, and he dreamed of taking his international music career a step further. A very nice, educated and good man. He also said that he would not mention to most Turkish people that he was a gypsy, because people would immediately make assumptions about him and would start to treat him badly.

Yes, I´ve seen the gypsies in the street who steal, and play tricks to haggle money out of people´s pockets. I´ve even seen gypsies that would wash themselves in the park´s grass-sprinklers. But I don´t know if the people who helped me so politely in the shop were Turkish, Kürdish, gypsies, Arabs or something else. So how can I make assumptions about gypsies if I just look at those people washing in the sprinklers? I can´t assume that all the good people I´ve met were 100% Turkish cause that´s statistically highly unlikely.

barba, help me to understand your viewpoint now.

Are you saying to me that my generalization about gypsies is not true? or are you saying that because of my statements I dont respect gypsies?

or Are you trying to convince me that on the basis of one drummer I should turn a blind eye on the rest 9 gypsies on the street, to the fact of their lifestyle?

good for him. but I cant change the minds of people (or my mind) who witnessed the culture of gypsies in reality. many people have to carry consequences of deeds done by their own relatives. you dont want it, but it happens.now, this doesnt mean I will show disrespect to him according to his ethnicity.

e.g. your father may have murdered someone, now you are a daughter of a murderer, that is a fact. and people will look at you through the prism of what your family done. you cant help it.

the same goes to germans, they bear and will bear the consequences of WWII.

jews will still be called Christ killers and hated.

btw, if someone does something good or bad to me I may not know their background, but I still can distinguish. you usually can recognise their ethnicity, not all the time, but you still do.

and then I try to make conversations, and I ask about their background. I ask if you are dutch or german. and then I ask what city you are from, I ask about your family. etc etc.

Lemon you sound worse than armegon and si++. At least they seem they don´t aprove insulting a nation. You must respect a nation but you are free not to respect a person.
