Balto-Slavs. Poles are largely Ruthenians not to mention, whilst Lithuanians have genetic similarity to Ruthenians. Slavs also are not really a race, at most a "sub-race" but really Slavic is more of a language group than an ethnic one.

So then, why say Poles have a home only in Poland when they are brothers to Russians as you seem to be saying now? And the genetic similarity between the Balts and the Slavs is a relatively weak excuse, by this notion the Russians are also Swedish through the Varangians, and if the Russians are Swedish that means they are Germanic, and if they are Germanic they share inter-relations with the French and the English and by this point - save for the Italians and the Greeks - the entirety of Europe and on into Asia is one giant super-country united in party by genetic inter-relation with one another, and this ignores the entire linguistic and cultural differences arisen in this regions through the thousands of years of European development; they may share the same genotypes, but they all speak different languages, wear different clothes, worshiped different gods, fought different enemies, and so on.

If we really are going to hang around and pound on about genetic differences, then we might as throw our hands up in the air and admit barely a percent at best determines the wide-ranging differences in anatomy and all humanity is one race, so let's just give up and become one nation with the whole world as home.

So that leaves the second great spook: culture. Which is what you said:

[quote]They aren't Belarusians, their ancestors didn't fight the Marxists or Nazis, their ancestors were not part of Szlachta or Hristyanstvo, they do not look like me and my kinsmen, they do not act like me and my kinsmen and they are not Belarusians, never will be and that's really that. They have their own countries but to mine they can only come as a tourist. People in Poland and Balkans understand this; visit, but you shall never properly assimilate so don't try. [/quote]

Arguing genes is irrelevant. We're all the same base human with some cosmetic changes along the way.
