My family are Irish, I was born in England. My friend, in my it is true that many English people do not consider the Irish to be white. Yes, it is completely stupid but the English are very touchy on the subject of race

The Irish are not white? We are one of the least mixed ethnic groups on the planet.
Whiter than white.

That's not really something to brag about. A lot of genetic diseases occur because of that. Just look at the Finns.
Celts came from China but that don't mean they had any involvement with Chineese culture.
South Slavs may have come from the middle east, but like I said, their involvement
probaley is slight do to movement.
In America in the past the white elite would play off the different groups. That's what I see here.
dshfgkhkjkl,
One more thing to mention is South Slavs had little interaction, except trade with semetic people.

Haha?! The Irish, whitest people on the planet? Generally I don't think so!
dshfgkhkjki,
When your talking about Bosnians I understand you to be talking about Serbian Muslims,
and Albanians. They were converted to islam in the 16th century by the Ottoman Turks.
Talking to some people I know, and seeing them on TV, Ive come the conclusion
that they are ethnicaly european.

Wouldn't it be easier to look at history and DNA evidence rather than "talking to people" and "watching TV"?
It's not exactly a huge secret that Serbians/Bosnians/Croats are more or less the same genetically.
Slavs are people speaking slavic languages. It's principally a linguistic characterization, not ethnic or racial.

Is the old saying: The word slavery comes from slavs always being slaves during/after war true?
I googled that saying and did not find anything so looks like you made up that saying...

It's a common opinion in the USA
"The word σκλάβος, in turn, comes from the ethnonym Slav, because in some wars in early mediaeval times many Slavs were captured and enslaved"

If I asked Americans on the street - what do you think about Slavs? 9 out of 10 would say - I am not following baseball at the moment xD

I only wish I can deny that..however you exaggerate. 6 out of 10 would say that. and not heard that as a "saying" anywhere. Only academia woudl know such trivia
delphiandomine,
If your talking about Haplogroup, it aint absolute.

Here is a good article on Europes genetic diversity - blogs.discovermagazine.com/gnxp/2008/08/genetic-map-of-europe-genes-vary-as-a-function-of-distance/#.UYlIjn3hTMI
Irish, British and Scandinavians are the least mixed. The invaders to these islands made but a small imprint in our dna and genes.
The map in that article is worth checking out - really cool stuff.

Fair enough, I'm not disagreeing with you just asking a question. The issue with discrediting American opinion, is that their view through the use of power media is portrayed onto Asia, South America, Africa
I had a black guy tell me, ''We are brothers. Slavs were slaves too''.

Treat yourself to a 23andme autosomal DNA test and then compare, my slavic friend.
You will have a few percentiles in the woodpile!
Every society has a minority within a majority. There is 1% mixed of bolth.
Ive said this before, you have to go to the surname itself.

Balts (Lithuanian etc.) are the Whitest people; while they are not the blondest, they are the most European along with the Scandinavians and the Dutch. While the Polish are a mix of Turks, Slavs and Balts. Balts gave blondeness to Finns and Scandinavians and to Slavs. Western Europeans were Balts who moved westward and mixed with the negroes and arabs.
Polish are a mix of Turks
source please

Let me hazard a guess, you are must be one of those Balts. lol !
For the rest of the world you are just an obscure Eastern European racist.

To the mod: How come that Idiot's post do not go to the bin and mine do?
And mine was:
Not yet sure, but a Jewish signature I sense.
The author (not an obscure Eastern European racist), original language, and source of the passage call attention but you would be misled if you would "sense a Jewish signature".

The only fully white Slavs imho are Czechs, Slovaks, Poles, Slovenes, Belarusians (former Lithuanians) and western Ukrainians.
Don't forget the Bulgarians!!! Most pure Bulgarians are white and for the most of the people that are dark skinned and claim to have my nationality are simply gipsy's/romi/cigani. I'm not a racist or whatever I just want people to know and make the difference between a Bulgarian and a gipsy.

For me , the people from Balkans do not differ much from other europeans from the south like Italians, Greeks, Spaniards, French etc

Good point, if the balkans are not white then Italians, Greeks, Spanish aren't white either.
Simple, if they have white skin, then they are white. if they have brown skin, then they are brown etc. But they all belong to the same ethnic/linguistic/cultural group.
You guys base your views on that. Americans base their view on immgration from 1820-1928. NARA.
NARA has it all.

real racial characteristic of our Slavic kind is ROSE, not the WHITE skin.
Polish, and other Slavs seem to lack rose / reddish colored skin.
It is mostly British, and Irish who have rose / reddish colored skin.
they are the most European along with the Scandinavians and the Dutch
The Dutch aren't the most European by genetics.
Lithuanians always come out as the most European by DNA, in study after study, this is true.
Many DNA studies conclude that Polish are as European, or even more European than Scandinavians.
Maternal DNA suggests that Polish are a mix of Lithuanian, and German.
Paternal DNA suggests that Lithuanians are a mix of Polish, and Finns.

So even if your skin got olive color you're still "white".
Actually, we're Olive. There are six "races"/macro-ethnic groups: the White (European), Black (African), Yellow (Asian/"Oriental"), Brown (e.g., Mexica, Taino), Red (as in Native North American; not the general אדום", which אום was ), and Olive (e.g., Israelite/Jewish, Ishmaelite-Edomite/Arab, Iberian) "races". Many of us are products of inter-"racial"/interethnic unions, and we're nonetheless Olive-even if, e.g., we look White because of some Slav who converted to Judaism or because our gene pool microevolved to make us look White.
Here's what an יהודי קדמון looked like, by the way:

And let's be very clear: the man looks like Wolf Blitzer sans glasses or Billy Joel.
