Why were there so many white Europeans who immigrated to Ottoman empire and embraced Islam? They all seem to have gone on to become notable military and political figures too. Why do we not talk about these people?

because we weren't assholes to christians and jewes? your religion didn't matter as long as you were good at your job. Meritocracy at its finest.
See, this is surprising to me. In the west you would never know the Ottomans were so diverse, if we are ever taught about them we are lead to believe it was just another backwards brown Muslim empire oppressing christians. If not for Turkish posters I wouldn't know about how advanced the Ottomans were and how desirable a location it was for many European men and women to live and work. Also surprising is how many Ottoman notables had French wives for instance
Occhiali, an Italian born in Calabria, one of the greatest naval figures in Ottoman history, serving as Grand Admiral for 17 years. He conquered Tunis in 1574.

It's funny because before 2013 I didn't even know Turkey existed I thought they were just some weirdos from Age Of Empires 3, IRL Turkey is as big as france and spain combined and has like 100,000,000 people living there and Istanbul is 4th biggest city in the world.

Germany wanted to extent its influence and secure a reliable supplier for oil by allying with the Ottoman Empire from the late 19th century onwards. Most notable examples of this are the Berlin-Baghdad Railway and the German Military Mission which trained the Ottoman Army (and enabled them to score some victories in WW1, such as Gallipoli).

Ahmet Rüstem Bey (1862–1935), born Alfred Bilinski, was an Ottoman diplomat who served as last Ottoman ambassador to the United States in 1914. Despite neither of his parents being ethnically Turkish, he himself was an ardent Turkish nationalist.
Ahmet was born on Midilli (Mytilene) to a Polish father and a British mother. His father was an aristocrat who fled Poland after the failed revolution of 1848 and entered the Ottoman Ministry of Foreign Affairs as Sadreddin Nihad Pasha.Besides his native Turkish, Ahmet spoke fluent English, French and Italian, and followed his father in the foreign service.He was "high-strung and outspoken" and had a "propensity to challenge people to duels"

Did you not attend school?
I was exaggerating, I knew it was a country but I thought it was just another arab shithole like Egypt or something. I was actually a history sperg and I would read the textbook in class instead of actually paying attention the power points etc,

Who makes these fucking charts? There is 292 viziers on that chart. 4 Hungarians.
en.wikipedia.org
There 292 entries. Kanijeli Siyavuş Pasha is in the list 3 times. He is marked as a Hungarian. There is only one other Hungarian on that list. So the picture counts duplicates. GG WP.
I don't know but there is also Hadim Süleyman Pasha. So at least there are 2 hungarian pashas. Don't know about how he came up with 4. Maybe he also used Turkish sources? Why are you so angry btw Tuğrul?
