I wrote ill not discuss with you anymore in this thread, but I cant hold myself breaking it:

Then why do they get angry, when they are called Slavic/Eastern-European. I get an impression that they want to be "German, Western-Europeans".

[Windischer]

Czechs dont get angry over being called Slavic. And they know they arent EE. Most people who know something about Czech culture and can compare it with genuine EE (Ukraine, eastern Poland, Russia etc) have the same opinion.

They are and they know it but they have many Western elements or are the most westernized of all slavs.

This sums it up. I've heard the most common surname in Czech republic is Nemak which means "Deutsch/Mute person".

Also from a Northern-European perspective, the Czech look Slavic. Why should they be ashamed of their Slavic heritage?

Jamaicans look English because they speak English language..

Probably these people are either German tourists or have German roots. Its actually somewhat common among Czechs with German roots. At least, its depend whereas part of Czech republic.

The Czech are the only Slavic country which can be considered to be a part of the West (maybe Croatia too). Since the West is the former Carolingian Empire:



The lands of this Empire still sustain common mentality and culture.

These morons confused the Czech flag with Yugoslavian/Dutch one. This is the real Czech flag:
