Turkish Immigrants Suffer in the Germany

1. 50 years ago, many Turks immigrated to Germany and a lot of them eventually became permanent immigrants. Unfortunately, Turkish immigrants still suffer significantly in the job market. A lot of this has to do with education as many Turkish immigrants still have trouble communicating in German. Discrimination also plays a role as some Germans have Islamophobia and are generally racist against certain minorities. Children of immigrants are also less likely to go to university-track high schools and on average experience greater drop out rates. This tells us that many foreign immigrant groups outside of the United States have also faced the same types of problems Blacks faced in the United States. In the past, Blacks suffered from discrimination, lack of education, lack of rights, and lack of job opportunities.
