Rejection of Turkey's application is not racially motivated, it's
simply because Turkey does not meet basic standards of respect for
human rights and international law.

Like Bulgaria?

LOL SNAP

Let's be brutally honest here.

France and Germany don't want Turkey in the EC, mainly because a Muslim
state would scupper the idea of a 'United States of Europe' forever.

The UK does, mainly because a Muslim state would scupper the idea of a
'United States of Europe' forever...

Now, the newer EC states don't want Turkey in either, mainly because Turks
are brown and Muslim, but they don't like Germany either on the grounds
that Germany invaded a couple of times.

Spain and Portugal are hardly newer EU states, and their support isn't
far behind the UK.
