I guess Turkish children, second or third generation of Turkish
emigrants simply do not read anything in Turkish, and even speak very

Oh dear.... Why, we wikipedians are so vulnerable to social and
ethnical stereotypes?

My daughter use to copy-paste from Polish Wikipedia her homework and
does not read any other encyclopedia. Does it mean she belongs to a
"social class that tend not to read much in an encyclopedia" ?
Maybe...
