I take your point, but I think you've missed mine. To be Turkish in the way I think you're talking about can be to be blonde haired, blue eyed and pale skinned. And still discriminated against. Not because you're a person of colour, but because your "racial" identity is predicated on your national background. You can be more traditionally "Turkish" (and I use the term loosely) in appearance, and not have the same problems, because you're actually Greek. And that's not a difference that shows up in discussions dominated by American conceptions of race.
