>>12715225sure kurdfren, first of all you can't really speak kurdish outside, that might not be the case in every city but it is in where I have lived (mainly istanbul and izmir). There's no law against it but you'll probably end up in a fight if you do, cause "hurr durr how dare you kurdish, you must be a mountain terrorist", while I'm literally more educated than %99.99 of turks, most of them could not form an english sentence if their life depended on it.
Second one is the horrible media representation, listen I don't want them to be absurdly nice to us just because we're a minority but the rep we get is so fuckin bullshit it's insane. All southeastern characters in tv are ignorant, ugly, uneducated and vulgar stereotypes with comedic accent, and no one says a word about it. I have never seen an actual kurd who talks like the tv kurds, never ever. And we don't live in dirt houses with 5 wifes or anything, there's nothing like that in our culture.
Third one is just the general overall attitude which is consisted of a lot of things, I remember I was becoming very close friends with a group of people in my college and after a few months we were hanging out in a cafe and there was a waiter with a little, tiny kurdish accent who took our orders. The group instantly started to make fun of the guy for being a kurd, saying stuff like "We should clean our things just in case cause a kurd touched it", "I knew from the smell that guy was a kurd haha" and many things, keep in mind that these guys are the "educated" and left wing part of the population, I got mad and I stopped going anywhere with em. Thankfully there are good turks that I'm friends with, but when I say all roaches are braindead niggers, I don't count the %0.01 of the population that are cool, as roaches. This might be a little too long and I'm kind of drunk but I think you get the picture mate
