>>13722296I am talking about genetic fact here, the fact that Austrians/Hungarians/Czechs/Slovenians/North Croats/Slovaks and to some lesser extent West Romanians and North Serbians form an obvious genetic cluster. The reason why these people see themselves as separate is a product of modern nationalist LARPing.
> We iz pure Hunz> We iz pure Germanikz> We iz pure Slavs> etc. etc. etc. Not to diminish some cultural and linguistic differences, which are obviously important, but I want people to recognize the simple genetic reality of the region first and foremost. My personal feelings about Austria-Hungary do not change this one bit.
