Turkey is the shittiest name to call Thrace, Anatolia and North Mesopotamia. Thrace is the european part, Anatolia is the asian part, and North Mesopotamia is the middle eastern part of this country. And majority is the influenced by persian & middle eastern culture rather than European.
I'm saying this as somebody grew up there. You have to ask the experience of those who actually experience the discrimination, not speaking on behalf of them. Where else in the world we have racists burning houses belong to minorities alive in 2010s? Even last year, a singer couldn't give a concert to the Turkish people there because she couldn't get a visa. If she gets visa, she may not pass the border since all the officers ask you "why are you in Germany?" and if you say you wanna travel they keep asking "travelling where?" "shopping what?" "studying what?" Now even celebs bring newspapers to show the officers to prove that they won't stay too long there!
It's a fact that being a middle eastern or being from a middle eastern influenced country let you face different attitude everywhere in the world. I'm saying this as an atheist guy who had to face it.

- oakaz 12y agoYes it is, and that's why I left there. By the way, I doubt it's as worse as countries where minorities are burnt alive in 2010s.
