What is your opinion on non-Whites practicing European paganism (Asatru, Rodnovery, etc)?

[Gediminas]

What is your opinion on Whites practising Non European paganism.?

Yoga,Tao,Shaminism e.c.t

A pious white person who practices a non-european pagan religion well has my respect

[NSXD60]

Meh, Euro pagans have little idea of the ancient rites practiced because the church either crushed most of it or lied and misinterpreted the little that was left to be found. They are merely reimagining it.

What do I think of a brown person worshipping trees. Thats what you’re asking? Wouldnt be the first time something like thar has happened.

[CertifiedCracker]

Anyone seriously practicing European Paganism is an idiot.

My dogmatic bullshit is better than your dogmatic bullshit

Though alot of things have been implictly preserved in their folklore traditions and customs

How is it different in the case of Christianity?

Christianity isn't much better. Really, all religious people are living in a fantasy world.

The people that practice Christianity genuinely believe it. The impression I get with paganists is that they are mostly LARPers who are just wasting their time when they could be doing something more productive. To be honest actually, I don't really think it's a waste of time, but I can see why one would think they are which is why I said that.

This is a good point. It's actually a consequence of the Christianization of our civilization. Contemporary Christians overwhelmingly believe their god is the only god. Interestingly, however, the original followers of their god were henotheists. They eventually came to follow Yahweh exclusively but did not deny the existence of other gods. So today people in a Christian or post-Christian society are sort of constrained by the question of Yahweh's existence or nonexistence. It is difficult to espouse the latter position and simultaneously affirm the actual existence of your own gods. Where's the reason in that? Likewise, the affirmation of Yahweh's existence would tend to lead one to espouse monotheism - Christianity, itself, in particular. However, in reality, there are (or should be) other views.

I kinda can understand how the Christians feel about this situation though. Here is how I would describe them based on my observations:

Christians - Genuinely believe their religion.

Neo-pagans - Don't genuinely believe in paganism but practice it as a way to culturally connect to their ancestors.

[Gangrel]

I think the biggest insult would be to their ancestors.

This.

For me there is no problem because there is no such thing as "White religions", whites have not signed a document prohibiting non-whites from following white religions. But even if whites did that, it would still be invalid because intelectual porperty don't exists, much less collective property.
