How come some Russian people have a slight Asian look to them? Do parts of Russia have Asian ancestry?
Because Russia is right next to Asian descent people (as well as being in the continent of Asia), so naturally there's going to be overlap? And because nationality and ethnicity isn't the same thing? There are Asian Americans and Asian Canadians too, you know?

The Mongols invaded and conquered 100% of Russia and ruled them for 240 years. It's amazing how few people in the west seem to know this but if you watch some Russian films about past times it comes up. Mongols are one of the 56th recognized ethnic groups in China today. You can imagine that the Mongos took the hottest Russian women and did whatever they wanted/marrying, enslaving and so on. Lots of babies made. Do the math.
It's like asking why are there a lot of Caucasian looking people in Mexico & South America. Same math.
Muscovy, Novgorod, Kievian Rus who were ancestors of Russia were conquered by Golden Horde in XIII century. Golden Horde were nomadic riders from Asians steppes, majority of them were Mongols. Poland and Hungary stopped further Mongol expansion into Europe, but Mongols left their DNA in Russian population due 250 years long occupation.
Read history.
All people did was conquer and lose lands every other year. A new race of rulers ruled lands. Most the time the conquering armies raped the women.
Most nationalities and races have been mixed for a long time.

What is referred to as "Russia" is an area the borders of which were defined by men.
It's a vast expanse that stretches from Eastern Europe all the way to Kamchatka, which is east of Japan. It stretches past China and Mongolia to their north. There are indiginous peoples in many areas of Russia in places that are truly Asian as much of Russia IS in Asia. Simply put, many Russians ARE Asian because much of Russia is actually IN Asia.
When I was in China, many years ago at this point... my first question was why there were white people on the money. I know jack shit about their history, but Russia is right there. I do know when the borders went up, some of those Raindeer herders got stuck on one side and some on the other.
If you look at Sami people over there next to the Nordic countries and you'll notice the same thing. Those Viking people traded with them and I'm sure they mixed here and there.
Well, the concept of race is stupid.
There are Russians who look Asian period. I have meet Russians who look flat-out Asian. But they identify as being Russian 100%. They speak Russian and identify as being Russian.
Here is Putin in a meeting with Indigenous Russians from the East.
The concept of race is not stupid. The Russians who look Asians as you're referring to refer to themselves as Russian by Nationality and not by race. An ethnic Russian is European/white.
Some Russians have mixed ancestry, so some white Russians may look a little bit Asian because they had an east Asian ancestor. Russia has been invaded by Turkish and Mongolian people (east Asians) often throughout history which explains why some white Russians sometimes look different to other European people on top of having many Asian countries near-by such as Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and China. Also indigenous Siberian people are ethnic Asians and are related to native Americans.
I already explained all of this on the other guy's question on race, but it seems like you forgot already on top of some of my comments being reported and deleted.
@RonStone45 The concept is not only stupid. It is ridiculously stupid. Try telling an Indigenous Russian somehow they are a different race. They are Russian. They were born in Russia. They speak Russian and their culture/history is Russian. They can recount the history of their parents, grandparents, etc. going back centuries.
They don't have time for a raciologist to tell them about the nonsense of racial groups. Groups which are not objective, who's definition shifts from decade to decade and country to country.
Think about what you said, and figure out a time when it was not true that some people invaded and conquered another people. Are the "White" people who conquered the Taino Indians still "White"? Less "White"? Half "White"? We know that Asians in ancient times crossed the Bering Sea via land bridge. Why on earth are raciologists claiming that American Indians who are clearly their descendants, are of a different race. To say nothing that humans first evolved in Africa. At what point is there sufficient objective evidence to claim that a group of people have reached the point where they can be considered a race.
There is no such standard. There is only the standard of a raciologist telling us what they think they see when they look at people.
I posted that photo on purpose. Because these phenotypical differences arise within these tribes. So we are supposed to believe these clans have members who are of different "races".
Nonsense.


I didn't forget anything. I have talked with raciologists for years. And you guys talk the same nonsense. This about your feelings and your theories.
It is not about actual genetics and science.
redice.tv/.../...a-theory-officially-debunked.Also wasn't the oldest human fossil found in Greece?
You not being able to acknowledge the difference between the Russian nationality and Russian ethnicity when it is so obvious and simple means you are clearly not worth arguing with.
@RonStone45 Haha!!! Get that crackpot nonsense out of here. No wonder you are here posting anonymously. You would laughed out of every single scientific organization or panel in existence. I am afraid to click on the link because I think it is virus infected.
Try linking to an organization of scientists and not some insane rabid racists practicing voo-doo.
LOLx10!!!
And it is you who do not know the difference between being Russian and your nonsensical weirdness of race. Those folks are Russian. They do not divide themselves up by race. And I dare you to post anything about the Indigenous of Northern Russia that backs up your claim that they do.
Here is an article from the "Scientific American".
blogs.scientificamerican.com/.../
The Concept of “Race” Is a Lie
Even the Ancient Greeks knew it
The plague of racism has, in many ways, been increasing in the last few years. Whether one looks at Hungary, Germany, Myanmar, India or Brazil, racists are becoming more visible and getting elected to public office.
Then there were the horrors of the slaughters in New Zealand and Sri Lanka.
Yeah, arguing with someone like you is pointless and I will save my time. Most people know race is real and they won't ever change their worldviews no matter how much leftist agenda and propaganda are shoved in their face to destroy the concept of race. The only reason they want people to think race isn't real is to push anti-white agendas, policies, laws etc.
@RonStone45 Most people? Like I should care what you think most people believe. Science is about objective fact. Only a child like you thinks race is about belief and not hard facts. If race is real, then is exists as an objective standard that can be measured and determined by the scientific method. The fact is there is no way to determine or define race scientifically.
It is all about your feelings and what you think you see. You hide behind the fact that every society has their own way of determining differences. That is not race. And is easily illustrated by the conflict between Hutu and Tutsi.
You see one race.
They see two.
That's because group identity, which you have claimed is race, is a subjective process. And science can't measure human feelings, biases, and mythology.
So yes, give up. Because I don't argue feelings kid. Science is about scientific evidence. And that evidence is beyond dispute.

Cool story bruh.
@RonStone45 Haha! Scientific fact isn't a story. . .
bro.

Race Is Real, But It’s Not Genetic
For over 300 years, SOCIALLY DEFINED notions of “race” have shaped human lives around the globe—but the category has NO BIOLOGICAL FOUNDATION.
Cool story bruh
LOL Vox.
Says the guy who quoted the “scientists” at stormfront. Haha!!!
Never did
Right. . .
Facebook to ban two white nationalist groups after Guardian report
Platform bars Red Ice TV and Affirmative Right, as VDare continues to operate
YouTube removed one of the most prominent video news outlets for white nationalists, Red Ice, from its platform.
Red Ice is a white supremacist[6] multimedia company led by the married couple Lana Lokteff and Henrik Palmgren. The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has described Red Ice as being important in the YouTube alt-right radicalization pipeline, further radicalizing people tentatively on the far-right and having "a history of embracing white supremacist rhetoric and talking points"
I missed the part where redice is ''stormfront'' and that the scientist mentioned in their article is associated with ''stormfront''.
@RonStone45 Oh, you are right. Redice is a different kind of "White" supremacist organization.
LOLx10!!!
What about the scientist in the article? Was he a descendant of the German scientists Russia captured after WW2?
@RonStone45 In what article? Dude, your views have nothing to do with science or scientists. It is about what your faith and your beliefs.
In the link.
@RonStone45 Why would I click on the link? I simply searched for redice? I am pretty certain crackpots think themselves sane.
But scientific evidence does not care about what you think. Fact is fact.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=926PqQUOVOg
Yeah BBC news liberal agenda ''science'' propaganda is ''fact''. Like how'' cheddar man'' was a black British cave man? hahaha
@RonStone45 Right, science is liberal. Fact is liberal. Scientific evidence is liberal.
And your fantasies and mythology are somehow now. . ."conservative".
Hilarious!
Hey crazy racist? What is a Haplogroup?
https://livingdna.com/blog/haplogroups-explained
There is science, then there is liberal agenda $cience. Why don't you ask the scientist in the link I put.
So that’s why you are unable to post one point based upon actual science. It is all about how a racist feels about race.
We know you guys care deeply about race. You have yet to connect your feelings to objective science.
Oh so all of a sudden science doesn't equal facts anymore when it doesn't fit your worldview, gotcha.
I have invited you repeatedly to post some scientific fact about race.
You have repeatedly told me of your feelings and how other people feel.
Again, , science is not about your feelings. It is about what is objective scientific fact.
ksj.mit.edu/.../
New study confirms that Africans are the most genetically diverse people on Earth. And it claims to pinpoint our center of origin.
Cool story bruh, I don't care. You get all up in your little feelings when someone rejects your liberal worldviews on race. You hate the idea that white people are a race and I reject your ''science'' like you reject mine. See ya.
@RonStone45 Dude, the only person posting their feelings is you. You and other racists always tell us how y'all feel about race.
And as I have said several times science just doesn't care about your feelings.
And you can reject science, we get it. If science doesn't support your fantasies and mythology about race somehow it becomes liberal. All you have posted is about your politics. You post nothing about science because you know nothing about science.
So cute little racist. . . what is a haplogroup?
Ask the scientist in the link I put out, he talks about haplogroups. I refuse to take the time seriously argue with someone that refuse to acknowledge the simple obvious difference between the Russian nationality and ethnicity.
You get all up in your feelings when people reject your liberal worldview on race, and you try to argue with them forever when they stopped caring about replying to you and write these long replies. I stopped arguing with you seriously since the beginning.
@RonStone45 You mean the crackpot in the link tells you what to think? A racist believes in race, then goes to Internet to find a person claiming to be a scientist who supports his views.
Son, you can find folks on the Internet who believe in a flat earth. You can find folks on the net who believe the Jews created giant space lasers.
But none of that is fact or science.
And son, I have been to Russia. I know the difference between Russian ethnic groupings and the Russian nationality. If you tried to tell those folks that the only Russians are the ones who look like "White" people, they will kick your ass.
And that is a verifiable fact which, you can test at your leisure. I have traveled the region son. I don't go to crackpot internet sites. I have spent months in Eastern Europe.
Cool story bruh. An ethnic Russian is a white Russian.
If you are not going to test your story on Russians you are nothing but a troll.
It is basic knowledge, Russia started in Europe, and they spread their territory all the way to Alaska. Russian is an indo-european language, Russians are Slavic (European sub-group). This is basic stuff, pretty sad that you can't figure this out lol. Someone who's of Russian nationality can say he's Russian, someone's who is of Russian ethnicity can say he's of ethnic Russian descent, an ethnic Russian is a white Russian, any Russian with a brain will tell you that. I'm done replying to you.
@RonStone45 No, it is racist knowledge. I guess at stormfront, you guys have never heard of the Huns or the Mongols. They conquered everything heading West out of their lands in Asia. So somehow the didn't have sex and babies throughout all the centuries. The Hun, while one of the indirect reasons for the fall of the Roman empire, did not stop they actually reached Roman lands. In the weird nonsensical theory of race the Hun were already "mixed" race.
But in that craziness, racist dudes claim that "White" people at not mixed, they are pure. So when you look at photos, you don't say anything about members of these tribes who obviously have "White" phenotypical features. If they look Asian, they are Asian and somehow rejected, even as a cousin, uncle or aunt may fit your description of a "White" person.
And none of what you say about Russian people, having met Russians from the East and video conferenced with them almost a decade ago on various projects. It is pretty common knowledge that some internet troll's ideas about race and racism have nothing to do with how Russians identify or describe themselves.
Of course there are ethnic groupings. Those ethnic groups do not correspond to race.
And absolutely while there is discrimination in Russia, it is along ethnic lines. . . not racial ones. Ukrainians, Estonians, Latvians, etc. for decades had their cultures and histories de-emphasized in the old Soviet Union.
So let me show you a photo of one of these ethnic groups. A famous singer I have loved for years. Her nationality is Ukrainian. She speaks Russian but her ethnicity is Tatar.
You know. . . one of those Asian groups. What does she look like to you?
A Tatar is a member of a Turkic people living in Tatarstan and various other parts of Russia and Ukraine. They are the descendants of the Tartars who ruled central Asia in the 14th century.

HOLY COW I've said this about mongols and turkish groups in the first comments. I know about huns and I know more about European history than you do. You like getting people to go around in circles.
Some ''tatars'' who are of mainly Asiatic racial stock may have white ancestors due to mixing with the native russian populations. Also in ancient times turks and Mongols abducted and rapd white Russian women when they conquered territory. This is easy to figure out basic stuff pal, use your brain, I literally have to explain every little easy simple to figure out thing to you. How the majority of people look like in Kazakhstan gives you an idea of how pure Turkish people look like.
I have a good Russian friend who calls it the Mongolian Invasion. He says you will see it in a lot of Russians. The Mongolians conquered most of present day Russia proper.
Because some of them are Asians.
Russia is a multiethnic country. Except for Slavic Russians-Russians there are Tatars, Buryats etc. that are closer to Mongols.
Same reason why there are Afghans who look Asian (hazaras)
They have Asian ancestory from the Mongols
Because Russia occupies all of North Asia, duh.
Because Russia is part of Asia. lmao. Part of Russia. Some of its in Europe. But because. They’re Asians. By definition. At least in the parts of Russia that’s in Asia.
I guess because they are right next to each other geographically. I know what u mean, I am half Asian and have been mistaken for Russian because of my eyes. Some Russians have a mixed look
Because it is a huge, huge, huge country that spans 11 time zones with peoples from all over. A lot of the far eastern part of the country is in the far east. They share a border with China.
You know that most of the country is in Asia, comrade? You can’t really expect finding no Asians in Vladivostok. Just because the capital Moskva and the former capital St Petersburg are European, doesn’t mean all is European.
Because they are Asian... Russia is a pretty huge place. Very little of it is in Europe; most stretches to the otherside of Asia.
I know there's no such thing as a stupid question... but damn does this come close.
Russians technically are just northern Asians >.>
Eastern Russian does cover quite a bit of East Asia north of China and Mongolia so people in that region are going to look either Chinese or Mongolian.
Everyone looks a bit Asian with the right makeup, deary.
She’s probably mixed I actually think Russians have cat features
Because geographically they’re like right there and they’re closely genetically related
Russia has some part in Asia 🌏 and outside the Ural mountain 🏔️ it is part of urasia or Europe 🌍
Russia is over 17 million km square which is half in Asia and half in Europe, it’s a diverse nation.
Eastern Russia is Asia
Genghis Khan probably has in impact if you look how far the mongols spanned
They are from the East and are Eastern. They are white Asians.
Russia is mostly in Asia. So technically most Russians are Asians. But to your point look up khasikstani people.
Russia is an Asian country.
Get your eyes examined! They do NOT! YOU think they do
Isn't Russia in Asia?
Check your geography. 80% of Russia is in Asia.
They probably have some Asian blood in them
Because…look at a map
They share a border with China.
Mixed race I guess?
Russia is in Asia
It’s close to Asia
Mongol's
