But that’s not the case here. Borders move. That was partially true after WW I. So it wasn’t Hungarians moving to Ukraine. It was the Ukrainian border moving over Hungarians.

Ukrainian-Hungarian border hasn't moved since WW2.

Oh, yes. Agreed. But that doesn’t matter much. Hungarians on the “wrong” side of the border still consider themselves to be ethnically Hungarian. Just as a Cherokee living off official Cherokee land still considers himself to be Cherokee. There is nothing wrong with that.

But I will concede one point to you. Those Hungarians have every right to teach their children Hungarian. They even have the right to teach them only Hungarian. But it is a major mistake to teach them only Hungarian.

Such a thing only serves to fracture a society.
