Not all Turks are like that. I've spent some time in Germany. Worked in the R&D department of a multinational German company. I had some German-Turkish colleagues that were really good at what they are doing. But you're true about some groups (which might or might not be majority, I don't have a specific statistic) does refuse to integrate society, refuse to give their children proper pre-school and primary education, refuse to give them good background to live decently and cry like a baby when the child fails when it becomes a teenager. Then blames German government for their own fault.
In Turkey very same mentality blames Ataturk for all of their mistakes. When abroad they blame the country that they are in. When in Turkey they blame secularists with pretty much same arguments. But not all Turks are like this. When you say "Turks do this and do that" resulting from the observations from religious&rural AKP voters and stereotype them for all of us, they also believe in that story (All Turks should be like us, even foreigners know that) and see us as an "anomaly". But there are so much people in Turkey and among diaspora Turks who are actually integrated to society and living like a regular human being.
@Götterdämmerung What do you think about my observations regarding Turks in Germany?
