What do you mean? I have never seen anyone claim that Lithuanians are not white before.

    I have heard people express opinions like this about the Finns before, but never about the Estonians or the other Baltic peoples. After all, the major race theorists of the 20th century like Grant and such considered them to be Nordic, alongside the Scandinavians and the northern populations of Germany and France, as well as the population of England.

      Have you ever seen how Estonians and northern Russians look? I know very little about genetics and I honestly don't care to learn much more about it, but going off of their appearance and the Nordic nature and history of the Baltic sea, I fail to see how your position is in any way intuitive.

        I think it was Dutton who I heard talking the other day and I think you're wrong about Finns not being European. Distinct maybe but that doesn't mean they aren't European.

        According to him -- and he showed the data -- the Finns are unique among European people not because of high Eurasian admixture -- though that obviously exists -- but because they have the highest percentage of the ancient European hunter-gatherer genes as opposed to Meds who tend to have more of the Neo-Lithic farmer genes and North Western Europeans who tend to have more of the Indo-European genes. So in some way you could say that Finns are the most European of all groups. I really don't like this type of deconstruction of Europeans as well. It's the way the enemy acts. The Neo-Lithic farmer strain which you find in European people especially in the South originated in the Levant but that doesn't mean Meds aren't White it's just another strand of what makes up the European people.
