THE PERCEPTION OF DISCRIMINATION IN TURKEY Let us handle these sensitivity scores and their classification regarding types of discrimination considered to be the most common in society. When we asked the participants about which types of discrimination occur and how often, we have seen that the most frequent types of discrimination based on political views, refugee/migration status, sexual identity and gender. According to the participants, discrimination based on ethnicity and belief observed at an average level. At the other extreme, there are types of discrimination frequently or rarely observed. These include mental disability, physical disability, elderliness and youth. The types of discrimination declared to be the most frequent occur to be the ones corresponding to the causes of discrimination that are more likely tolerated -except for gender-based discrimination-. The ratio of those thinking discrimination based on political opinion, migration status and sexual identity is widespread and always occurs above the average and the median. This trio is also among the reasons for discrimination, which is more likely to be tolerated in certain situations. The opposite of this relationship confirmed except for mental disability. Although discrimination based on youth, elderliness and physical disability are intolerable, the dominant opinion is that there is no discrimination against them in society. However, declaring the opposition against discrimination based on youth, elderliness and physical disability on the rhetorical level does not eliminate objective discrimination on these topics. We observed this also during the focus group discussions. Notably, we observed that people who do not have a disabled person in their family not take any action other than showing sensitivity. Expressed in such forms, the position of antidiscrimination unintegrated into actual practice generally does not disrupt the continuity of the current situation reproducing discrimination. On the other hand, there seems to be no discrimination in these titles where the majority seem to agree on the antidiscrimination attitude. In other words, although there is a so-called objection to reasons of discrimination such as physical disability, old age and youth, which are not the object of political and cultural conflict, and do not require the parties to take part of this conflict, in a country like ours where there is hardly any inclusive practices for these segments of society, it would be more accurate to speak of the existence of ignorance and insensitivity to the discrimination that these groups live and may experience. If we mention the reasons for discrimination different than these two tendencies, discrimination based on gender and mental disability, become prominent topics.
