Today over lunch, I told my little sister (12) a joke:
A little lamb is lying in a field crying. A person comes by and asks why the lamb is so sad. The lamb says "*sniff* Because I don't know what I am."
The person strokes the lamb's fur and says "Well, you smell and you have greasy curls... you must be turkish!"
So... I tell this to my little sister. Know what my little sister says?
"That's not funny! Lambs are cute, they don't smell and they don't have greasy fur!"
Needless to say, I was left speechless.

Originally posted by Phlabibitso you think I didn't ask her if she thought it was being a bit more unfair toward turkish people than toward the lamb? I can never tell if you underestimate me on purpose or if you really think so low of me.

She said she doesn't like turks. I asked her why not, and she said because they are arrogant and stupid and they always brag (Sadly, I have to admit this is true for the majoritiy of turkish people in Germany). I asked her if she new a nice turkish person, and she said yes, a girl from her year in school. I said "well, this shows that not all turkish people are like that", and she said that that was the only person, and I pointed out another girl (I think she's arrogant as whatnot, but my sister likes her, so no point in pressing the matter.) I also pointed out a girl from my class who's nice and (though very... well tell me a nicer word for "slutty"😉 kinda smart. My sister said that those were only girls, so I named a guy from the year above me (I'm not sure if he is actually turkish, but I figured in this case the end justifies the means), and then my sister agreed that not all turkish people fit the opinions that people have of turkish people in general here.
I am definately not trying to prejudice my little sister.

What's the similarity between Angie and a Lada?
It's fine whilst you are in her, but it's embarassing to stand beside her.
