尽管厄齐尔曾经为德国带来了荣誉，在德国交税、为学校捐款，种族歧视者们仍视他为“异类”。

他还写出了一句十分令人心碎的句子：赢球，我是德国人，输球，我是移民。

In the eyes of Grindel and his supporters, I am German when we win, but I am an immigrant when we lose. This is because despite paying taxes in Germany, donating facilities to German schools & winning the World Cup with Germany in 2014, I am still not accepted into society. I am treated as being 'different'.

在格林德尔和他的支持者眼里，当我们赢球时是我就是德国人，当我们输球时我就是个移民。 为什么？即使我在德国合法交税，即使我为德国的学校捐献了很多钱，即使我在2014年帮助德国赢得了世界杯冠军，但我还是无法被社会所接受。我被人们当成“异类”。

厄齐尔还指出，格林德尔的观念“绝不罕见”。一些政客对他进行人身攻击，把种族歧视作为政治宣传的工具。

I was called by Bernd Holzhauer (a German politician) a “goat-f***er” because of my picture with President Erdogan and my Turkish background. Furthermore, Werner Steer (Chief of German Theatre) told me to "piss off to Anatolia", a place in Turkey where many immigrants are based.

因为我的土耳其背景，再加上我与总统埃尔多安的合影，贝恩德·霍尔茨豪尔（一位德国政客）就直呼我是“X羊者”。更有甚者，维尔纳·施特尔（德国剧院院长）让我“滚回安纳托利亚”，一个土耳其境内移民聚集的地方。

As I have said before, criticising and abusing me because of family ancestry is a disgraceful line to cross, and using discrimination as a tool for political propaganda is something that should immediately result in the resignation of those disrespectful individuals.

就像我说过的一样，因为我的家庭血统而对我进行批评和侮辱是一种不知廉耻的越界行为，而把歧视作为政治宣传的工具更是应该让他们直接离任的卑劣行为。

These people have used my picture with President Erdogan as an opportunity to express their previously hidden racist tendencies, and this is dangerous for society.

这些人用一张合影大做文章，宣传着他们此前藏在心里的种族主义，这对社会来说很危险。

最后，厄齐尔宣布了自己退出德国国家队的决定。

I used to wear the German shirt with such pride and excitement, but now I don't. This decision has been extremely difficult to make because I have always given everything for my teammates, the coaching staff and the good people of Germany.

曾经，身披德国球衣让我感到兴奋和自豪，但现在不是了。这是一个非常艰难的决定，因为我总是为了我的队友、教练组成员和德国的好人们付出一切。

But when high-ranking DFB officials treat me as they did, disrespect my Turkish roots and selfishly turn me into political propaganda, then enough is enough. That is not why I play football, and I will not sit back and do nothing about it.

但是，当那些德国足协的高官们以这样的方式对待我，当他们亵渎我的土耳其血统，并且自私地将我作为政治宣传的工具，我已经受够了。这不是我踢足球的原因，我也不会对这样的行为坐视不管。

Racism should never, ever be accepted.

种族歧视永远，永远都不能被接受。

现在，厄齐尔推特账号的个人资料上写着：阿森纳球员。地点：英格兰。
