Life / Polish people and racism. [943]

miranda:
still find it a little bit strange that I have to defend your countrymen;)

:-s yeah, i kinda have a harsh way of saying things. Makes me end up on the wrong side of the conversations :-p

Eva_K:
If a Turk or a Pakistani wants to talk about racism in Poland, perhaps we should ask if there is racism in Turkey or Pakistan.

Though, i dont know much about racism in Poland, i can say that there is some racism in Turkey. But the majority do not care about where you come from.

Life / Polish people and racism. [943]

first of all, the IQ part was just an answer to a post which is quite old. Someone was claiming that Turkish people have I average of 70-80 something like that. So, it was not an insult to my fellow citizens.

Anyway, about the junk part. I personally believe, if someone is immigrating to another country to live there and may be live there for generations, they must (really MUST) integrate themselves to the system. I mean, you left your country and now living in some other country. You are using the resources and the services of that country some of which are sustained by the taxes of the natives. So, you must respect the rules, regulations, social structure, and way of life in that country. Of course you can not change all of a sudden, but being totally against the change proved to be a good argument for people who have racist tendencies.

For example, i am in Canada now for my education and i am learning and obeying the rules of this place. Not out of fear from being discriminated, but out of respect.

Second, yes it is not their fault to be under-educated, it is the government's fault. But, unfortunately, they were under-educated and sometimes ridiculously stubborn as a result. So, may be "junk" word was too blatant, i agree, but it is obvious that they are not the best specimen to observe and have an idea about all the Turks. (Also, i was talking about the first gonners to Germany.)

This was what i was trying to tell.

And yes, may be i do not have enough knowledge about the case, Miranda, thanks for the link, i am going to look into it.

The topic has long been closed, but let me tell you something to clear your minds. About the Turks in Germany, men, you are so unlucky. In 80s, many workers from eastern Turkey who had no education or culture at all, immigrated to Germany. Because the worker salary was very high in comparison to salaries in Turkey.

The people that did not immigrate were educated and had no reason to immigrate to another country. So, unfortunately, you people got the worst part, the junk of Turkish people.

Personally, not to prove anything or be a smartass, my IQ is 134 and it is certified by official tests and i am Turkish.
