Are Swedes and other Scandinavians the Mongolians of Europe?

[Wichtige]

There are lots of Scandinavians that look pretty Asian. Watch this video.

I have partial Scandinavian ancestry and I feel I am closer to the Mongols than other White Americans. So are the Scandinavians really descendants of the Turanics from Mongolia?

Yes, they are Mongoloid

They have partial Mongoloid ancestry or Mongoloid influence

They have no Turanic ancestry

[SinghSong]

Well, not really. Here's a genetic map, one which show how closely related to one another different people are: www.humanbiologicaldiversity.com/.../...es-map.jpg

As you can see, Swedes are actually still pretty close to the middle of the White European cluster. And if you look at the Scandinavians' positions on that map in general, they're further away from being Mongols than the Eastern European, and even a fair few of the Central Europeans, are. Russians are the Mongolians of Europe, not the Scandinavians, and certainly not the Swedes. Interestingly enough though, the Scandinavians COULD be said to be the Amerindians of Europe.

[Wichtige]

I have seen a lot of Slavs and they don't seem to have the Mongol admixture like the Scandinavians, at least the pure ones. I don't know how to work with this map, but in fact Finnish people have up to 10-15% of East Asian genes. Other Scandinavians seem to have less Mongoloid genes, but there are still a lot of Asian-looking Swedes and Norwegians.

[Finn4u]

Wichtige, Finns don't have 10 -15% East Asian admixture. Where did you get those numbers? The correct number is 1-2% for Western Finns and 4-6% for Eastern Finns. Even Norwegians and Icelanders score ca. 2% East Asian. Russians are the true Mongoloids of Europe. After the Saami who have 20% East Asian admixture, they score on average 10%the second highest percentage.

Yes, they are Mongoloid

[reixun]

You nords are weird, I had this swedish guy try and convince me the finnish are mongoloids. Sorry man! Y'all are the whitest white people!

[Wichtige]

We are white but still have some Mongoloid features.

[reixun]

Small eyes don't make you mongoloid. Those -oid classifications are dumb anyways. Bantu people have small eyes, do you consider them mongoloid? My sister even has small eyes, is she mongoloid?

[Wichtige]

They are not just small, our eyes have a fold of the upper eyelid which doesn't really look like that of the true Mongoloids, but it resembles it.

[reixun]

Doesn't make you mongoloids

[Wichtige]

But that means that Scandinavians have their share of Mongoloid genes.

[reixun]

No it doesn't. Genetic variation is due to location. Khoisans have epicanthic folds too, it doesn't make them less black.

[Finn4u]

That guy was a gay Swede (everyone knows that Swedish men are effeminate like girls obsessed with their skin and bottle-blonde hair). They are envious of Finland that has the most blue-eyed natural blondes in the world. :-)

[BiscuitesSwag]

The Finn-Ugric tribes are the "Mongolians of Europe", as you want to call them/us.

[Wichtige]

Finno-Ugrians don't look more Mongolian than Swedes, for example. We Scandinavians all have Turanid features that make us different from the rest of Europe. We are sons of Attila.

[BiscuitesSwag]

Attila (wrong translation, must I add) was Hun, and Huns were killed by the Romans. After them we, the magyarok came, and because we resembled so much to the Huns, other nations started calling us "Hungarians".
Also, the Finn tribes were the ones that travelled to today's Noridc countries.

[Wichtige]

We Scandinavians and you Hungarians are Turanic cousins, our ancestors both came from Siberia.

[ikissedtheskyonce]

Who cares? People have been mixing since the beginning of time.

[ADFSDF1996]

I don't know about the other Scandinavian countries but Finland has a lot of Sami people.

[Wichtige]

Isn't he a South Slav?

[BeerFarts]

No, he's Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and he's Swedish. He's one of the best footballers in the world.

[Josht13]

yeah I think he's bosnian or something like that his parents are but he was born in sweden.

[BeerFarts]

@Josht13, is he? I didn't know that. My apologies. No wonder he doesn't look like the typical Swede.

[Kuqezi]

He's Bosnian/Croatian

[ibodi]

I dont think pictures you post are Mongolians, Their face is flat that is one of feature mainly in encyclopedia and they discriminated people from 4 degree.
I think the picture is number 2 below them. They are racist indeed they like white.

[somebodysaycheese]

No they are legit Aryan lol

[Alex88F]

good looking mongos! :D

[HanimKalkKelesiGetir]

Yes, they are Mongoloid
