Are Georgians European?

[Jana]

Both don't really matter. They are born and die in Europe. Three thousand years down the line archeologists will classify them as European skeletons and cultures.

Place of living alone isn't enough to make somebody European.

[Babak]

Georgians are west asians. Whats all the fuss about?

[Ion Basescul]

I think that's the only thing that matters; place and length of time. Americans, South Africans, Latin Americans, Australians, etc. are definitely non-European in my book.

Agree with that. But they are Europeans by origin.

[samario]

They are white and Christian but they are not European.

[Westbrook]

I think most people just don't really know what Georgia is like

Georgia has territory in Europe and has traditionally been connected to the European part.
People have also been Christians traditionally.
That's pretty much all that's needed for them to be considered European.

Those who have selected otherwise need to explain themselves.

[Tauromachos]

Georgians are more European than Europeans are

[Rgvgjhvv]

A Georgian who says he is European has lost all self-respect and is a clown in my eyes.
Same goes for other countries too (Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan etc.)

Lol..why the tf do you care very strange

The question should be what is there to gain in labelling a completely unrelated country as "European".

[Oghuz]

IMO

Georgians can be called white people (if they want to adapt that identity) being christian and majorly European genetics (significant West Asian admixture as well) but they are by geography not European. They are like white people of west asia.

The word Georgia comes from Persian word Garg (wolf) ... implying Georgia = land of wolves.

Good people.
