Innocence cannot be tamed

This picture belongs to the playground in Gezi Park, the park that millions of turkish citizens and foreigners protested to be maintained despite the ongoing plans the government had about it(they were planning to rebuild an ancient ottoman military building which used to be at the place of the park but then was demolished)
These are Kurdish children playing. After a fraction of a second that i took the pic, the mother came nearby in order to assault them, probaby due to a naughty stuff they just did.
The person beside me whispered thereafter:"kurdish people... so expected" (kurdish people are subjected to racist prejudice in turkey)
I told her:"as if no turkish person would behave like that. I would rather say 'uneducated people'. That sounds less racist"
