Video of the day | German or Foreigner? Youth at a Crossroads

The first groups of Turkish-Germans and other young people with dual citizenship are now being forced to choose one country over the other. This is due to a reform of the citizenship rules implemented a number of years ago. We follow two 19-year-olds. Esra Unal,a student from Berlin,has decided on German citizenship. Erdi Yurtsever,a high school graduate from Nuremberg,would like to retain dual citizenship. If the rules are not changed in the next few years,he plans to challenge the rules at Germany's constitutional court.

@britturk123 omg you're dumb

[britturk123]

This having to choose bullshit is just a clever way of being racist its a cleaner form of ethnic cleansing, how can you deny your bloodline ? heartless stupid germans make no sence at all. If you want less turks in your country at least have the balls to say so instead of crass legislation that is blatantly racist.

Look your country is what you feel in your heart. I am a Brazilian Australian who was adopted from Brazil as a kid. I grew up in Australia but I always felt a stronger connection to Brazil so I moved back. I am lucky to have citizenship in both countries but I feel closer to Brazil than Australia so I pick Brazil.

Germans want to cut the balls of turkish people. Turk will always be Turk. Nazi always be nazi.

i don't understand why someone needs 2 citizenships. if he lives in germany, then it's enough to have a german one isn't it?

[FAMEROB]

Basically every post here assumes that a person is either 100% German or 100% Turkish. This is not reality folks. Turks in Germany are BOTH. They go back to Turkey and are called 'German' by their cousins and relatives, they speak Turkish barely or with a German accent. And then in Germany they are called "immigrants". At the same time, most Berliners who are 100% German by "blood" (a fiction but a social reality) eat Turkish food as their daily bread. It's same in US with Mexico/Latinos.

How do you expect people to learn your language if you don't talk to them? Did you have a migrant language education system in place? Isn't it true that it is considered to be a social taboo to speak to strangers in Germany? Why did Turks integrate well in USA, Canada, Australia, Japan but so poorly in Germany? Are you honest with yourselves? God, you really haven't learned anything from history! You are still, well, how can I put this....German!
