        I don’t think a Turkish is a race. It’s more comment on international relations.

        Also given the reason fact that Turkey tried to block NATO Sweden’s membership, I’m not particularly fond of them either right now.

          There’s a colossal difference between disliking the actions of a country’s politicians and describing a people as a “garbage culture with no morals”. And while “race” is a kind of wishy-washy term with no real definition, I think plenty of ethnic Turks would disagree.

          Xenophobia then. If your defence for bigotry is that it’s technically not racism, you’re still a bigot.
