My trip to Türkiye is going terribly, can you please read it?

Friends, I came to Türkiye for a holiday. I had visited many European countries before this. However, I must definitely say that Turkey is the most uninhabitable and worst country. Yes, it has historical places, of course for tourism, but the shopkeepers are constantly trying to scam you and sell you bad goods at high prices. There are many news about poisoning.
The biggest problem is definitely this. Turkish people are the white version of Indians. Turkish people are constantly causing fights and unrest, they are constantly disturbing people, especially tourists. 13-year-old children have guns and drugs in their hands, and they are constantly traveling in groups and disturbing people.
Turkey is a very expensive country. Because you're a tourist, they'll often offer you a price far above the normal rate. If you object, a group of Turks will be waiting to attack you. Turkey is a terrible country, with children on the streets. If you make eye contact for even a second or three, they'll attack you. They'll demand your money and try to start a fight. Because you're a tourist, you can't even explain your problems.

It sounds a bit exaggerated to me. Okay, you might be right that Turkish people can be ignorant about business trying to overcharge you for a quick buck rather than thinking long-term. You're fair enough there. But the part about guns 13-year-olds on drugs sounds absurd. I assume that means you stayed in the cheapest hotels in one of the worst neighborhoods.

I don't know anything about the street kids, let alone armed ones. I felt safer in Turkey than in most places. But the part about expensive prices and scammers is unfortunately true. Turkish sellers are scumbags and robbers and the police is corrupt, unfortunately.

I don't know. I lived in Turkey for a while and found the Turks to be some of the sweetest and kindest people I have ever dealt with.
Perhaps you should get out of the tourist traps and experience other parts of the country?

Until the 1990's, Germans didn't consider Turks white. (Besides, half of Istanbul, the Turkish capital, is in Asia, not Europe.)

And if I went to Turkey, I'd be called the Turkish equivalent of the "N" word." (Do Turkish broads have big boobs?)

Don't go there, or if you are already there, leave.
