    googled and that’s hungarian

    that’s a fun one because when they say that they don’t mean hungarian (unambiguously white) they’re specifically talking about the medieval magyars who were imagined as an ‘other’, non-white invading barbarian group. he’s saying she looks like she has turkic/mongolic unspecified asian ancestry. irl as a steppe confederation they were not a unified ethnolinguistic group of course but the ruling class called magyars whose language became hungarian were related to finns i.e. probably considered white by people without phds in racism.

    so it’s actually wrong in two ways centrist
