Did you actually read my post properly before angrily replying?Can we please stop with this "roots" bs? This whole thing isn't about Turkish roots unless you think Turkish roots means Erdogan and not showing the necessary values of the country you were born and raised in.
If someone actually thinks he has to support people like Erdogan because of his "roots" then this just shows a lot of problems and where our "multicultural" society still fails (and again I say this as someone whose family has Croation '"roots" but I feel 100% German, no ifs or buts).
I didn't make a general comment about roots and its role in this whole situation. I was replying specifically to a poster who said he found it surprising that someone can be so attached to Turkish politics (and I guess by extension culture) being 3rd generation.
Whether that means he has to pose with Erdogan or not is a different matter and one in which I did not offer any opinion.
@ArjenIsM3I'm reading Ozil is third generation born in Germany, are you third generation?
It is surprising to me one can be so attached to the politics of Turkey being third generation German, unless of course you're brought up by your parents that instil you're still Turkish.
