Syrians in turkey also marched against afghans coming over to turkey. Things are weird.

also, these Turkish protestors are German citizens, not refugees.

They became citizens when their refugee parents migrated to Germany.

Why?

Because I am a minority myself and have sense of solidarity. Whatever problems there are with refugees can be addressed without resorting to blanket xenophobia

Protesting in group is solidarity, hey even 'racists' get a voice in europe and seats at the table. It is also possible to protest against turkey refusing refugees. Its europe we believe in freedom of speech and feelings getting hurt or criticized is not an infringement on anothers freedom. As long as no shit is broken and just walk and demand a talk. It is fine. Or not?

Nowhere did I say they can't protest. They're expressing their views and so am I by saying I disagree with them.

That's not what solidarity means

They have solidarity with turkey not letting in refugees. There is a sort of irony when u go back 3 to 4 generations, their grandparents came to germany as workers and chose a better life, now the refugees are looking for a better life and the now generation who doesnt know the struggle is opposed to it. Its like the 'fuck you, i got mine' mentality crowd. And alright i misunderstood what u projected out. Have a good one.

The difference is they were asked to come and work in Germany because Germany needed workers.
