To me, they're no different than other Europeans. Even they're lighter than Euros of this forum. I've seen many Bosniaks who visited our school last year and most of them were white & blond af

Wrong question! It should be are Bosnian Muslims ("Bosniaks") European?

Bosnians = All inhabitants of Bosnia (Bosniaks/Muslims, Serbs and Croatians) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosnians

Herzegovinians of all religions/ethnicities are not Bosnians, regardless official name of country is Bosnia and Herzegovina. The biggest insult for Herzegovinians (especially Serbs and Croatians) is to someone call them Bosnians. Herzegovinians consider themselves superiors towards the Bosnians.

No, because Balkanites aren't European.

Why this inferiority complex?

Their culture was Europeanized during Tito's Yugoslavia. This is how Bosnian Muslims areas looked like until 1945.

Middle Eastern vs. Europran looking people. Until 3:42 Muslims (today Bosniaks) from Sarajevo / since 3:45 Serbs from Ilijaš near Sarajevo (minus two Gypsy musicians with violin and few Muslims around 5:00).
