Just wondering if any particular minorities in Turkey are especially targeted for harrassment or even in extreme cases assaults? My friend worked in Izmir back in the 90s and said Blacks and Koreans fared the worst there in terms of getting racial insults. Apart from Kurds which is obviously a special situation, what races/ethnicities are perhaps most likely to be a target for troublemakers/hooligans/extreme nationalists, etc?
