Do Szekelys look closer to Hungarians or Romanians?

[ixulescu]

This question seems to pop-up quite often. But it seems to me that most people here haven't seen yet how Szekelys look like.

So before you vote in the poll take some time to watch this short vid:

Other székelys for helping:

[ixulescu]

^ The people in those pics are not Szekelys. You can see the buses behind them.
These people come every year to Romania for the pilgrimage at Șumuleu Ciuc.

Btw, you won't see that percentage of blondes not even among Swedes.
Clearly staged, cherry picked, photos.

Okay you are troll for sure. These peoples are all székelys in székely national dress, and these "cherry picked" photos are all group photos but no problem....

You are just angry because your old claim "székelys are hungarized romanians" is not true.

Then how come the people in the video look strikingly different?

By the way, székely haplogroups:

20% r1b, 19% r1a, 17% I1, 11% J2, 10% J1, 8% e-v13, 5% i2a:

Romanian haplogroups:

28% I2a, 18% r1a, 15,5% r1b, 14% E-v13, 13,5% J2, 3,5% I1

Totally different...

I don't claim this. As a population, they came from Hungary, and settled on the border of Transylvania on the request of the Hungarian king (12-13th century). However, they acquired a lifestyle similar to the Romanians living in vicinity, and historically mixed with Romanians a lot, despite the differences in religious denomination (in contrast to Hungarians).

To me, they look more Romanian than Hungarian.

[Impaler]

In my opinion the halfway between Hungarians and Romanians. I've seen recently some Szekelers, and if I didn't hear them speaking Hungarian I thought they are Romanian.

It's hard to cherry pick 14 minutes of video.
