Hi Dixie Keeper of the Board;

Last week my sister went to Paris for her occupation(she is a fashion designer in istanbul).and she told me,two men approached her and asked where she is from and then when my sister said she is from turkey/istanbul,they are shocked and shouted,first they expected I'm(my sister) italian but after this event they display some strange behaviours:they closed their faces with a foulard and annoyed her.and they said something as Turkey is an Arabian country,everybody is with foulard and something like these,can drow a picture everybody is degenerate in Turkey ...

But Turkey strongly isn't degenerate,especially Turkish people are really good-hearted,generous,cultivated and innovational but I'm really really unhappy for our government,because of effects on Europa...

:cry:

That's weird :!: European people don't behave like that. Those two your sister met were some pranksters, I am sure. Full of prejudices and with no education, obviously.

I have to agree with Dixie (keeper of the board) most Europeans are very tolerant and accepting, you were met by a few small minded racist and ignorant fools...remember they are not the true face of Europeans.
