"Germany's Turkish Obama" by Paul Hockenos

Cem Özdemir, the man considered to be the Obama of Germany, is the highest ranking German politician with immigrant parents. He was recently elected the co-chair of 'the greens'. He is one of 15 million "people with migration background," which is the newest politcally correct term that Germans use when describing immigrants. 19% of the population is composed of immigrants, while 40% of elementary students have immigrant backgrounds.
