You use it in a derogatory, offensive manner as a SLUR that's why
Shouting OY JEW ! is equally offensive to a JEWish person
It's the way that you use it that makes it offensive
"PAKI" is an utterly offensive term, you may argue that someone from PAKIstan should love it like an AFGHAN from AFGHANistan or a BRIT from BRITain
Do you like to be called GRIKS or GAYreeks ? I doubt it very much, do unto others
I did not use any derogatory terms like "OY" ... only you used them. Also of course I object to defamatory conjugations of "Greek" .... but the word "Turk" is none of these ... it is the proper Common Noun .
I just wrote "Turk" .... are you agreeing that you do not like to be called "Turk" or what?
Come clean, spill the beans let us know, do you really hate being called a "Turk" ?....
.... and why?
