6/12/2015 8:46:55 PM Posted: 2 years ago Any Europeans willing to form a discussion group for our continental and state policies, cultures, history, etc.? If so, PM me.
And by Europeans, I mean native ones only. |

The Irish aren't capable of intelligent discussion. You might want to exclude them as well. |

6/12/2015 9:26:54 PM Posted: 2 years ago I'm European and I like other European things.
In fact, all European countries happen to interest me apart from those northern ones like Sweden and Denmark..now they're just boring. Flectere si nequeo superos, Acheronta movebo. |

Yes, it's also tricky because Jews are generally a varied mix and some have more "Semitic" blood than others. Not wanting to identify with yourself as white is acceptable if that genuinely is the case--but with a lot of Jews, it's not. It seems a little silly if that "connection" to Israel was lost for such a long period of time. But again, it depends on the Jew. I know European Jews that are darker than others and vice-versa.

And as for the ethnic Jews, I know some do not want to identify as white, because they feel no connection to Europe, and more to Israel. That's correct, Jewish identity is indeed built on religion and our spiritual history is in Israel. However, this doesn't necessarily correspond fully with "ethnic history". Even if a Jew is practicing/religious--that still doesn't exactly mean that they can exclusively trace their origins to Israel. *Some* Jews do genuinely have their roots in Europe, while other Jews [many of whom have resided in Europe for a long time] do not. The ethnic identity to me again depends on the Jews in question. Take a pale-skinned and very light-haired Jew with generally non-Jewish features, for instance, if he/she is practicing they would have a religious connection to Israel but *not* an ethnic one; at least not on a large basis.

I agree, I'm aware that Slavs migrated to the very far East [of Europe] and that they're not direct natives to the land--at least not ethnically speaking. It's interesting to learn about the different ethnic origins and "genetics" of that particular region. Even if you go a little further west, you can still see that it's generally pretty mixed.

Really interesting.Personally I agree more with these kind of theorists; though Eastern Europe is obviously very mixed. "Slavic" in general has a varied meaning and covers a wide range of people from different countries in an extremely large geopgraphical area. Some Slavs [I've noticed this with mainly wetern Slavs] have a light look and can be quite Germanic looking, while others are quite dark. To me it's the most genetically diverse region there is, considering some of the elements of Asian blood as well. Have you ever travelled outside of Bosnia? If so, where?

Nice, Spain is the best ;) Though I've never really seen that much of Catalonia or any parts of northern Spain. I've seen a lot of the East and South though, Seville is my favourite place. Germany actually seems quite nice, at least the south of it which I'd really like to visit. I guess it depends on which areas you go to and what your experience is with them at the time. Aside from that, I'd like to visit Croatia. Flectere si nequeo superos, Acheronta movebo. |

If you include the Caucasus, which IMO is not even Europe, then yes. In the region around Ukraine, they are definitely homogeneous, and not mixed. Ethnic Russians are not mixed either.

Not surprising, since they climate they evolved in (North-Eastern Europe) resembles that of Nordic countries. http://4.bp.blogspot.com... Slavic gene distribution: http://slovio.com...
