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 sometimes, some of them in times ARE behaving like german haters in return and women are sometimes not much respected as it seems (tell me, if it is different in your eyes). 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)
But i would never go and say: "You! Integrate yourself! Immediately."
That would be strange then, wouldn't it?
