He's not Turkish because there is no Turkey.

Again, proof? Mikasa confirms there was Asia. More than half of Turkey is Asia.

I'm pretty sure it was "oriental" which is the common way to place a character in an Asian inpired country if the story doesn't take place in an alternative world similar to ours.

Sweet lord, what makes you "sure"? The map is based on Europe which includes *Turkey*. Isn't Turkey mostly "oriental" as well?

Furthermore it's based on a world. Take FMA for example, it's AU Britain/Europe but it's also in contact with other parts like counterparts of China, Russia etc. There is absolutely NO PROOF that Turkey or any other *non-white* country not existing in this world.

Not to mention Turks are the largest minorities in Germany and German/Turkish marriages are well common. Pretty sure same can be applied to an AU universe. Oh, not even counting that after the creation of walls most of population mixed up ALREADY. Survivors of Turkey being mixed into Wall residents is highly likely just like Mikasa's parents.

You guys are crying about this yet ignoring the fact that main character very well can be a POC. What's so hard about embracing this? It's not like Eren looks "white" either -with your bland logic-, especially considering his friends. Does he need to scream "I'M TURKISH" to prove himself? Why would a name like "Eren" would pop up in a pure white world? None of the characters bluntly said their races, except Mikasa. Rest is all based on assumptions and names. Connie is American, Sasha is Irish...yeah all of this based on...?

ugh

No, see, Mikasa is thought to be the "last of her race" which means "last of the orientals" - so it wouldn't make sense for Eren to be asian as well.

Turkey is in Europe
