First of all Turks are not a race; and secondly, I have no illusions that they have any differences in human characteristics which they can conveniently use to excuse their behaviour.
And that is what you are ducking and diving, avoiding addressing; the fact that it is their behaviour which is at the root of the hatred.
If they are "discriminated" i.e. singled out, then it is because they are the ONLY ones presently occupying Cyprus. That is a perfectly legitimate reason which has nought to do with racism ... much as you would like to label it with that common phrase! Otherwise everyone is racist simply because they use the term Germans or French. It is a way of addressing a subject!
Turkey invaded a country, with made up excuses, in order to expand their territory for their own people. So they are the racists. They removed the GCs from the north of Cyprus. So they are the racists. They differentially killed thousands of GCs, so again Turks are the racists ... by YOUR definitions.
So please shah, if you don't want to appear dumber than I think you are, address why Turkey is not racist (your term) towards the GCs whom it has ethnically cleansed or killed ... and do not mix up my emotions which were forged by Turkish bombardments, and have certainly never led to any combative measures for vengeance, unlike what Turkey carries out to this day on GCs!shahmaran:
I stopped reading at the part thats say "Turks are not a race".
Im too busy for this shit i'm sorry.
shah, its really hilarious when you squirm your way out of the "truth", with your bulletproof anologies, and your Turkish equality treatment that YOU SHOULD have.
Growuptcs, you must stop falling into the traps that your biological friend keeps setting up.
99.5% of what she says is pure crap. There are no pure races left. I suspect Greeks have more Turkish genetic material than Greek. All we have is similarity in genes between nations. In reality you will find that there is greater similarity between a Japanese man and a Scott when compared with two men from two African village separated just by a few miles.
I suspect that the good lady’s biology qualifications were awarded by the Greek Orthodox Church where the main curriculum subjects were Immaculate Conception and Creationism supplemented by the odd dose of Earth is the Centre of the Universe.
