The bird is named after the country: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkey_(bird)#Names

(So now when they've renamed the country, the bird ought to be renamed too.)

People hate us turks for various reasons.

  1. They visited turkey as tourists and were exploited through high prices, haggling, rude and impatient service sector workers

  2. They met some of the brainwashed assholes that are sucking up to the current dictator

  3. They have an immigrant community of turks in their country that don't assimilate

  4. They are or have connections to a historical group of people with bad blood with turks (serbs, greeks, armenians) NB : I do not think that those people are bad.

  5. Because the current state of the country is a fucking disaster for various perspectives

  6. BECAUSE TÜRKİYE NUMBER VAN BAYBEE, DATS VHY I LIVE DIASPORA TIME! IS NICE!

That bird Is called Turkey in English
It's called India (translated) in Turkish, and many European languages
In India it is also named after Turkey
The Arabic word for it translates to East Africa
Malaysians call it Dutch Chicken
In Cambodia its French chicken

And the fucking bird comes from North America

Who tf cares that Turkey is part of Nato?

[–] gigachad@sh.itjust.works 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Everybody in Europe. Turkey has the second largest army in NATO after the US. Also its geographical position makes is strategically very important.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

They also have the second least reliable military in NATO.

you are constantly spitting out hate towards turks in this post. what is the reason behind this butt hurt of yours may i ask?

[–] LH0ezVT@sh.itjust.works -1 points 8 months ago

People != their government

Except that they're still mostly a democracy, and they vote for the shit.

[–] Matriks404@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Do people actually hate Turkish people? I know they can be obnoxious in online games, but in real life they are pretty wholesome. And I think It's generally the same for all Turkic peoples, but I haven't met many.

[–] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

People hate Turkish people because they hate immigrants (for no reason), and there's some Turkish immigrant community in Europe.
