Toujours la même histoire. Ca cest pour toi Volkan Ergen : ...But what I quickly realized was that if your parents are immigrants, this means you have no private life. No question is off-limits. Or have you ever been asked at a party whether you prefer men with or without a foreskin? Three minutes after the introductory handshake, the Germans jump right in. Into your religion. Into your family. Into your bedroom. Does your father beat you? Or does he only beat your mother? Et ca cest un peu pour nous deux: My parents received the highest praise bestowed by the Germans: Youre different from other Turks, arent you? Different Turks. I had different Turks phrases that I repeated again and again. They went something like this: My parents made out even before they got married. Yes, they were even together for seven years before they wed. They were not promised to each other; their marriage was not arranged. They wrote each other love letters and held hands, on the Bosporus, without a marriage certificate. Yes, they were allowed to go to the movies. These were stories to prove that we were different Turks. Modern Turks. Nice Turks. Almost Germans. But becoming a German wasnt that easy.
