Ottomans (Turks) occupied Greece for 400 years, ending in 1821. Turkey constantly trying to take over Greek islands, etc. Turkey dropping off immigrants on rafts just outside Greek shores. But it doesn't seem to translate to the US much, especially in second generation.

Greeks dropping off immigrants in front of Turkish shores, killing some of them, also seems to happen: https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2022/feb/17/i...
It is a sad situation. I think this article says the Turks dropped the immigrants at the Greek shore, and the Greeks tried to send them back. The Greeks either have to accept/absorb all of the immigrants strategically sent from the Turks, or face consquences when they try to send them back and tragedy strikes. It's a strong strategy by the Turks. Of course the immigrants are sadly just pawns in this situation.
That's quite far ago?

If that's your criteria, who can interview Germans without bias?

Some cultures hold on to bitter historical sentiments more than others.
It is far ago, but being occupied for 400 years and not being able to openly practice your religion leaves a lasting memory.
