What you describe above is a distinction of citizens purely based on race. Unlike you, I do see a shame in insisting to make such racial distinctions of a countries citizens, especially those who are born and raised there.
Maybe one way to make the "others" feel more roted (or just as roted as those so called "Bavarians") and strenghten the nations sense of unity would be to stop making these sorts of racial distinctions.

This whole situation has little to do with racism and Ozil throwing that card out is despicable. You can call it political - nationalistic, perhaps - but it is not racist. There are a lot of people around the world, including inside Germany, who do not like Erdogan and see him as despicable. They didn't want their countryman to legitimise him.
