"White Turks"

[PlanA]

[FONT=Century Gothic]According to genetic studies, Albanians have been more or less the same population since a thousand years or so.

But more or less doesn't mean EXACT. Also the source of the study?

Yes, our neighbours have assimilated us, while we have not assimilated them. And I assure you, we don't have Turkish blood, since that's an oxymoron itself.

I don't know, it's somewhere in the Albanian forum, go check. I think there was also a linguistic one, done by the leading University of Yale.

There is no Turkish or Albanian race. There are Turkish and Albanian ethnicities.

Sideritis and Arberori dont accept. They say Albanians have lineage, ancestry, race and ethnic group and Turks dont have this. I say Turks dont have something less than Albanians not to be ethnic group. You see in this forum there is members from Turkey who arent Turks like Rojava Kurdish or lonely forest Laz guy or Georgian members. This is other proof Turkish ethnic group exist and not everybody in Turkey forced be Turk.

This isnt right. Turkish historians say some Yörük people, this is Turkmen and nomad, go to Albania and then lost there in 16th-18th century. There is also Venetia people, Roma people, Serbian people and other in Albania history.

I don't care what your Turkish historians say, we don't care about your opinion so you can wipe your ass with it.

The Yoruks have only been present in eastern FYR of Macedonia, there aren't any Albanians there. As of the Venetians, they did rule Shkoder and the surroundings, but they never settled.

We haven't mixed with the Roma and the Serbian people are actually Montenegrin in the far north, they still speak Serbian and don't mix with us.

Well, Turkey did absorb a substantial number of people of different backgrounds, but it would be silly to deny the existence of Turkish ethnicity today. It exists, millions of people speak Turkish and identify as Turks, just like their parents and grandparents do or did.

Well, "white turks" are turks who have high european admixture or ancestry(mostly from Bosnia, Albania and some bulgarian and greek in the mix). They are heavily represented in Turkish soap operas, movies and etc to give the impression to the audience that Turkey is a "european and western" country. The average turk look nothing like the ones on TV.

And IMO, since Greeks/Bulgarians don't look that white at all they overall don't look "white".
