Chancellor Merkel Redefines 'German People'

Can I move to Japan and become Japanese?

Ahhhhhhh, you're the troll.

That's what I meant by troll.

Did she say that?

Maybe...? I doubt it since that would be unconstitutional. You can gain german Citizenship in two ways, as far as I am aware. be born in Germany(Wuw how I got mine. Quite hard actually... for my mother) or apply for one. So maybe, if she even said that, she meant it in that context?

I see. Hopefully. But having a German citizen doesn't mean you have German blood. Anyone can become American or Canadian, maybe Australian but you can't become German, English, Swedish etc if you don't have roots in the country. I consider you German because of your father.

Fair point?

*citizenship

Yes, tho at some point you've got to become German. If you adapt the German Culture, you'd be German in my eyes. Maybe not Ethnically, but Culturally. It saddens me to see a lot of People living in Germany be resistant to German ideals and culture. So I suppose yes

Okay, that's all I meant. Anyone can be a culturally German citizen but never ethnically. Some people try to conflate them.

Yeah, it's kind of sad to see German neighborhoods where all you see is Turkish flags flown out windows. Especially since Germany has had a Turkish population living there for decades. I suppose it's even more prevalent now with so many other groups coming in.

Its not only the Turks tho. I mean they are a big part yes, but I see a lot of East Europeans who live in Germany act the same way, but in their defense they usually are Guest Workers, while the Turks lived a long time in Germany. Germany in my opinion needs to start more incentives to "Germanize" people so to say

The saying 'diversity is our strength' gets used like globalist retards like Trudeau to justify non meritocracy mass immigration. Diversity can be a strength, but not when all the diversity stick together in their own groups fighting politically for different ideologies. Like you say, the governments of the west that have recently experienced large migration need to do something to help assimilation and bring people together.

I did say it wasn't all Turks. I've just seen those pictures. I've not seen the same with Eastern Europeans.

Absolutely

"I did say it wasn't all Turks. I've just seen those pictures. I've not seen the same with Eastern Europeans."

Yeah, There are a lot of Turks in Germany. And therefre a lot of Coverage of Immigrants is around Turks, but I do see quite a few East Europeans who do the same things, at the very least in my Home town.

Descent from a German parent is enough. jus sanguinis

It is. And Constitutionally that isn't even required. So long as your born here and one of your parents has spent enough time in Germany your German
