It's usually rare though.
The largest fascist/ultra far right organization in Germany (by far) are the Turkish Grey Wolves, while ethnic Turks make up about 4% of the population. There are approximately the same amount of ethnic Russians living in Germany, but Russian far right groups aren't known to be relevant in Germany.
I grew up with quite a few Turks in Germany, and all but one were extremely nationalistic and supremacist. It appears that Turkish culture and their historical narratives are different from others. You don't e.g. hear about the Japanese today talking about Koreans as vermin, but it's common to hear those tones from Turkey.
- CorrectHorseBat 6y agoI don't know anything about Japanese talking about Koreans as vermin, but do know you can hear Chinese talking about Japanese as devils. I think the dictatorial regimes are (at least partly) to blame. They use nationalism and supremacism to make the people forget internal issues.
- luckylion 6y agoI think that's different. The Chinese were invaded and violently occupied by the Japanese, that would be more like Jews (or Poles) speaking of Germans as Murderers. The supremacist angle is the German concept of "Untermensch" (sub-human) in comparison to the "Übermensch". I believe the Japanese had similar notions, but I don't think they're prevalent (and certainly not voiced) now.
