laughing foreigner

First to start "It's not me, I'm not guilty!"
When and where did i say this, eh? Please don't put me words i haven't said.

What i have said is exactly this: it's a bit more complex than this, isn't it?

Talking about turkish people in Germany. We could fill books with that, but i can just give a few things because i have to care for work and son too. And i am no politician! I know that a turkish woman has been the first council administrator in my old home town. I have to admit though that Mr. Özdemir is the only politician so far i know in public. The integration debate to me is polarized, because "theory and praxis" drift apart alot. You talk about not being able to integrate and the same way it's the politics slowing you down. In my opinion it's the cat biting itself in this, isn't it?
When i gave those two points of incident it was to put up that things like these happen, but i WOULDN'T shout about it usually, nor was it a complaint against turkish people. The explanation and apologize to Cem has been deleted unfortunately. It is something that happens, but still people should work about being good with each other.
So, when i see turkish people over here i AM split, of course, because some of them behaving strange, especially against us women, so how could i not feel bad then in times? But it's of course not in general. And very sure also the other way round. I find it easier to talk to "integrated", but also often i have the feel that the interest in integration is not very high. (see abovementioned)
How comes, for example, that women very often still are kept at home? In school it brings up big problems, when children start writing and reading, because they are not used enough to german. Now here comes the 2nd class thinking in play: We need a good education for our children if we don't want to go down totally, and turkish people should be interested in this too.

As mentioned, the kindergarten-friend of my son was turkish, we had the fortune to be with his parents in time and even they tell me, that there are good and strange turkish people as here are good and bad german people.

A former neighbour was russian and sometimes telling me about her sorrows here to get along, another neighbour is italian and i could heart her all day, a good friend in the net is turkish and i like a good conversation in times. He would step here asking me: Anja, now WHAT have you started there? and then laugh about me. Certainly.

I AM living in a small world, trying to be good and am shocked when being shouted without a reason i could find. Because actually please: WHAT EXACTLY are you blaming ME for?

What really pisses me off in the meantime. I have stepped in here for finding job information for my friend to be here, reading discussions like these. No matter when they are serious, but here it's just bashing around....
I mean, i could easily complain about the older ones in our office too. Always trying to fool us a little, simply because they're longer there - even when we are more organized and a fresh knowledge should be a winning thing, too ...pretty discriminating in times, what do you guess?
Or those fast going drivers on the motorway here (Autobahn of course is forbidden...for reasons). Well they like hassling me around, just because i don't do as fast as they do.... shouldn't i feel discriminated then??
And hell...yes...the goddamn fucking so-called Nordic Walkers with their sticks...stuffing the way with two people...and then, expecting a single jogger to just jump away from them...

Now THAT is fucking racist, isn't it?

THAT. IS. NOT. MINE.

It's tiring. It doesn't make much sense. And going on like that you won't find me discussing here.

Sure.
