I like King Laszlo I, Budapest, and balish pastry.
I like: history, landscape, various phenotypes
I don't like: fattest nation of Europe
I'm very appreciative of Hungarian film. It's one of most original in Europe. Food is very different than anything else in Europe and I like it. Language sound beautiful, especially if girls are speaking it :D
Can't say much negative, Hungarians are fine people, except that I can't understand Euroasianism of their nationalists, when Hungarian culture has always been avangarda in eastern part of Europe.

Im half Hungarian myself and I agree with you about the Euroasianism tendancy amongst some and the right...
I agree with your sentiment beacuse in many ways I dont understand this mentality either...I mean I undestand the legends, the history or the various theories of origins etc but I dont get the necessity for such a mentality more than 1000 years in Europa.
I grew up close to My Hungarian Grandparents but in the West not in Hungary. After growing up with Hungarians and connected with Hungarian community when many years later I saw all this Euroasianism stuff and some people saying they were like Turkics etc ...like you said it didnt make any sense to me... it didnt have any connection with the Hungarian culture I grew up with which to me was very typically European.
But one thing I leanrned about Hungarians coming from Hungarian family, they are pretty stubborn people , the ones who believe they are descended from Attila the Hun or Summerians or the Finno-Ugric theory denialist Turanists...there is no point in arguing with them ,no matter hiw much scientific proof you could bring ... you wont change their minds lol I know because I have an Uncle like that lol.
Otherwise Im a big fan of most things Hungarian.
You are very correct: there is almost no way to change a Turanist's history views regarding Hungarians. Hungarians are amazingly stubborn, even compared to many of their very stubborn neighbors, and also they are highly individualistic, like there are so many that believe they are the bearers of truth, and everybody else just got it wrong. I would say this legendary Hungarian stubbornness has brought us both good and bad in our history, maybe today it would be better if we would be less stubborn, and more willing to collaborate with our neighbors and fellow Europeans.
I don't like that we can hardly stick together as one nation. I think it's very prominent in Hungary.
