A good friend of many years just said „I don't like Turks”, following with common racist justifications. I was shocked. I tried to convince her that „most Turks cause trouble" is just plain racism. With the current situation here in Germany in mind, that we discussed beforehand, I wasn't quite friendly. She quickly felt offended about my accusations and left me confused about her, the friendship and how to approach this topic in the future.
