Thread 215036587

I just found out non-Turks in my country get triggered when you say "Türk" and they want you to say "Türkiyeli" instead (it means Turkeyean or "from Turkey" or something like that)

Russians have the same distinction in which they call "rossijanin" a citizen of Russia but "russkij" for an actual ethnic Russian.

In Poland "Rosjanin" is the politically correct name for a Russian while "Ruski" is a slur

Türk is an Austrian last name, it was applied to the descendants of the turks who settled in Austria after the ottoman invasions, there are legit türks here who have lived here for centuries and look like white people, totally different from the recent turks who came in the 20th century and look like arabs

There was a girl with that surname (minus the diaeresis) at my school, she was jewish

>>215036682
Because the Turks that settled in Austria are Balkan Turks originally and they likely mixed with the austrian population.

The current Turks in western europe are basically kurds under a turkish name

Because they are levantines they were called los turcos in latin america because they immigrated from ottoman empire back then and people have no idea about turks they thought they were turks

>basically kurds under a turkish name
how come they are the biggest turkish flag waving erdogan loving grey wolf signalling nationalists then?

>>215036923
You must be new here, same reason why HAPAs become white nationalists. Biggest nationalists in Turkey are always crypto armenians, crypto kurds, crypto laz/trabzonites and the brownest of the brown.

modern nationalism is a plebian ideology, it's for weak minded failures to project their own inferiority complex onto others.

So they are Turks after all, since “Turks” are a made up ethnicity of every type of brown person from the Balkans to the Middle East and Caucasus

>>215036905
Those are different things, "turco" is just a nickname given to people of arab ancestry

I have never thought I would ever agree with a Swede but here we go

>>215036993
Not true, that's more of a modern thing and even then it's not uncommon to see more modern Turks fleeing as soon some kurdish tribes moves in as their neighbour, Istanbul is much more segregated than one thinks

i know Slovaks have a different word for the pre-WW1 Hungary and modern Hungary, so that they can larp and cope as not actually being part of Hungary for 1000 years
