Responding to "Turkey is not in Europe".

Whenever I hear similar comments, I automatically assume people who say these are at least little bit racist.

I don’t like to assume that unless they very obviously express that (which some do, but not all). In this case there was nothing to make me think that.

Is that Sultan Mehmed II?

Well, Cyprus is entirely within Asia, isn't it? Quite often geographical divisions or subdivisions are determined along ethnic or religious lines as well.

Turks are ethnically, racially, phenotypically, culturally, linguistically, religiously, politically, historically, and originally not European. Doesn't that count?

No, because the topic was "non-Indo-European languages spoken in Europe". Not "by Europeans", but "in Europe".

Aside from that about ~10% of Bulgarians are of Turkish decent and speak the language natively. The province of Kardzhali, in the south of the country, is majority Turkish even.

It would also be fair to say that Kazakh is spoken in Europe due to some of Kazakhstan being in Europe, and said part being home largely to Kazakhs. There are some other Turkic languages spoken in Europe, such as Crimean Tatar and Gagauz.

Reason why Europeans object to Turkish being called "a non-Indo-European language spoken in Europe" is because this burns their ass And Turkish was spoken in Europe 600 years ago too.Turkics ruled the northern Eurasian steppes, "some of which are in Europe" for hundreds of years
