most turks would disagree with that.

what is this? are we using the same theories and philosphy that fucking europeans used to divide, classify and oppress people all over the world?

i dont give a fuck if there is blood relation or not, the fact on the street, culture and history shows that all these groups are distinct. there is a history of conflict between europeans and turks, arabs, persians, and indians. there is a history of colonialsm. race theories were used to oppress the latter groups, much the same way as in africa.

i am sure, africans dont like to be lumped togethjer in one group, so why do you want to delegitimize the reality, history and oppresion of other people, using white people theories and philosphies?

seems like black skin, white mind/heart to me.
