“According to the Encyclopedia of European Peoples, “the Huns, especially those who migrated to the west, may have been a combination of central Asian Turkic, Mongolic, and Ugric stocks.” See ‘Attila’, in Wikipedia.

No, they were not close cousins of the Goths and Scythians. The Huns migrated from the east, which is one of the reasons tribes in northern Europe were displaced and moving through Gaul and down into Iberia during the late Roman Empire period.

The Turks themselves are in part Eastern Caucasians (from actually near the Caucasus mountains) and Ugrics are ancestors of Hungarians and Finno-Ugrics.

You should have done a little more research before tossing some random Wikipedia quote.

And for the moment lets take your word that Atilla is “some kind of Asian”. So what have you got? Just 2 characters from history (Atilla and Genghis Khan) to draw moral equivalence with centuries of Inquisition, crusade, pogrom,holocaust,slavery,racism, apartheid ,colonialism, communism, nazism, fascism done by White people?
