>You can't see what I mean. I mean Ottoman was a -kingdom-. One man was ruling Ottomans. Your country is a republic from at the beginning. I can't understand how you can fit racism in democracy until 60s? That's the point.

Racism and slavery were part of US culture from the time Europeans first settled here (because it was a part of culture there). It was simply a fact when the republic started.

That doesn't excuse it. It simply is the way things were.

>>>Hahaha... It was "Ottoman Empire" not "Turkey" and like you said it was a kingdom. Your country did massracres under "Democracy". Your country still does massracres under "Democracy".
