It's not a civil rights issue for me, it's an issue of ethnic consciousness.
Even though a person of a mixed race has equal rights under the law, such a person does not have equal worth in front of my eyes.
That person has a different ethnic consciousness residing in the mind of his/her, and is not a part of the Turkish nation in my eyes. Meaning, another of our number is lost in the creation of a mixed-ethnicity person.
I oppose the concept, therefore.
But yes, me and him, equals before the law, but not equals before the Turkish nation. Never.
hock:So although you think that people should have legal rights, you're of the opinion that you shouldn't/don't have to recognise those rights?
Ethnic counciousness?!? WTF?!! I'm going to pull you up on that right now. Unless you can demonstrate:
1. that there are statistically valid differences between 'counciousnesses' (other than nominal, human variation)
2. that these differences derive from ethnicity, based on nationalist/tribal definitions
...the comment you made was racist. I mean, I've heard some pretty disgusting nationalist bollocks out of the mouths of EDL members but I've not heard any comment that low or bigotted since the late 80s.
Sum ergo sum
