Austrians are just weird Germans, change my mind
Austrians are just weird Germans, change my mind
no one disagrees
I thought Germans were the weird ones.
literally the opposite
We are both weird
so therefore austrians are just germans.
No, Austraians are NOT Germans, you dumb fuck.
i said AUSTRIANS, not Australians. You dumb fuck. And even then, if you get dwn to it, brits are basically just Frogs and Germans combined, and the brits colonized Australia. Therefore ethnic australians (whatever that means) are like, half german
i guess that means God hates California then as well
Germans are the weird austrians
no, they are the normal germans
do j have to remind you of the poopgerman that posted 2 days ago?
Austrians are just non-retarded Germans, change my mind
This is not a new thought process.
there are more German Germans than Austrian Germans, therefore the norm is German Germans. Meaning, no, German Germans are the normal Germans.
thats what makes Austrian Germans weird.

he was born in austria, but the area in which he was born was actually mostly german germans
So corrupted by post nazism and europhiliais better? Soulless
jeez, aussie education, Austrians are Germans for real, dummy.
Austria: Existed since 996 AD
Germany: Existed since 1871 AD
Really, It's not that Austrians are Germans, it's Germans are fake Austrians
Yes that's why Austrian archdukes forced Germans to speak their version of German for hundreds of years and all great German composers were Austrian.
Wasnt he actually bavarian that was born in Austria if you go by his ancestry (including parents)
>Australians are not German
Confirmed gook migrant GTFO WE FULL FAGGOT
Bavarians = Austrians
Your girls are good at tricking people into thinking they are dating them KEK
that means nothing about ethnicity. Japan hasnt been truly united for that long, does that mean that ethnic japs havent existed for that long?
Overall, German cultures are fairly different across the different areas, Bavaria is different from Pomerania, Austria is different from Brandenburg. That just means that Austrian culture is like the rest of german culture. The "standard" High German culture, with something new mixed in. For Austria its just that they like mountains. the German Germans being forced to speak Austrian German is just because Austria was the most powerful German state. also, Bach was born in Leipzig. Beethoven, in Bonn.
Bavaria is German. Therefore my point still stands
did you even read the whole post nigga
>that means nothing about ethnicity
If you're suggesting that Austrians are ethnically german and not austrian, then you either have no idea about Austria or you have no idea what ethnicity actually is. In no sense of the word are Austrians ethnically german
baku is german
>Bavaria is German.
D I S G U S T I N G
>Bavarians = Austrians
Eh
They are close but not 100% identical
literally the first result after googling "european ethnicities"
you're wasting your time
it's an autistic Tyrolean who thinks having a regional carnival tradition makes him a different nation
tyrol is for italic bulls...
I know your feel Austrianon. People think that Americans are all the same when in fact we vary wildly by region.
>People think that Americans are all the same when in fact we vary wildly by region.
yeah, there are brits and wogs
Brits aren't even the largest white ethnicity here
>some map says it so I'm right
that's not how it works but you're still right
Nice language map
As i expected, you don't know what ethnicity means. Ethnicity isn't something you're born with, it's something you develop through socialisation. To boil it down to the most important factors, ethnicity consists of sense of community and group identity, which you'll know isn't something you're born with, but rather something you develop. As an Austrian I can tell you that neither a sense of community nor a group identity exists between Austrians and germans, i.e. not the same ethnicity
They actually are and that map is terrible and done with horrible methodology, 'American' is a category for ancestry.
There's no point arguing though because no matter how much evidence I provide for some reason Americans literally don't want to believe they are British despite the overwhelming initial population of the United States being British and their high birthrate being responsible for most of the future growth of the population and people of British descent still being the largest ethnic group in the USA for some reason.
this post is so autistic it alone proves you're german
they vary slightly in culture, midwesterners are all farmer fags trying kill eachother, southerners are all sister fuckers, the west niggas are nigger lovers and "refined valley dudes" while east coasters are the "standard" american culture. oh god, your even closer to a regular german than i thought. thats CULTURE not ETHNICITY. also not a language map, a language map wouldnt show Galicia as portuguese, scots as scots, and welsh as welsh. You dont have a sense of community with other germans because other germans are not a different ethnicity, they are a slightly different culture. you dont have a sense of community with Bavarians because they dont have mountains. Bavarians dont have a sense of community with you because you dont have cool sausages
Everything west of Indiana spoke majority German up until the world wars.
Sure m8, i'll definitely believe some random Australian on Jow Forums more than the actual anthropologist Charlotte Seymour-Smith who said exactly that.
that's not what my cowboy movies taught me
Austrians are Euromutts
This, they are equally fat
no they didn't

Ethnicity = Genetic + Culture
Genetic alone doesn't make an ethnicity
did you know that austrians speak german?
Seriously now why not just settle this whole argument with one good old fashioned anschluss
rofl its like the clown off space station 13
good post
then hes a shit anthropologist. If two ethnic whites have a baby in africa, and the kid grows up with all ethnic africans, will he turn black? wtf. Absolutely rarted
Nothing to be changed.
BUT they take even more drugs and drink even more Schnaps.

yes, i do. One of the many justifications (albeit on the weaker side) that Austrians are actually just germans
>let me tell you about your country
My city was majority German before the wars and then everybody was forced to speak English and hide their accents in fear of being attacked by angry non-Germans. My city tried to pass anti-German policies nearing the end of WW1. The city wouldn't back down until the city almost broke into chaos when a large group of Germans came to the city hall with guns.
>all great German composers were Austrian.
not even Mozart was Austrian you dumbfuck
see how Mozart identified himself
also Bach, Beethoven, Händel, Brahms etc weren't Austrian
this whole debate is retarded anyway, it's like saying you're not American because you're from, say, California
You need to get it into your thick head that ethnicities aren't the same thing as races. An ethnic group are literally just people that identify with eachother based on whatever they feel is unifying. You're legit calling experts in their respective fields out just cause you have some retarded superficial knowledge that isn't even half right. Race =/= Ethnicity
beethoven was black
holy fuck this is brilliant, thank you so much for this enrichment to my life. mein gott
>Different portions of an Austrian army, which were scouting for forces of the Ottoman Empire, fired on each other by mistake, causing self-inflicted decimation.
Because he died in poverty of course he hates that city
read this
Holland is Black, Beethoven is R'n B
>An ethnic group are literally just people that identify with eachother based on whatever they feel is unifying
what if germans identify with you though
>everything west of indiana
this was a complete lie though
yeah i can tell you about your country if you're a fucking retard who only works off anecdotal evidence
germans should've learned english in 1776 the ungrateful cunts
aussage abgelehnt
ethnicity doesnt equal race sure, but they also do not equal culture. Mein Gott mann. du bist undermensch
Mozart was never actually poor, he just kept leading the same life when he earned less.
Comparable to "citizens of the world"
You actually have no idea what you're talking about. Ethnicity can be based on literally anything, it can be based on solely culture, it can be based on solely the borders of your country, it can be based on race. But it doesn't have to be based on anything. I'll say it one more time for you, even in all caps so that your little monkey brain can understand it.
AN ETHNIC GROUP IS NOTHING ELSE THAN A GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT IDENTIFY WITH EACHOTHER
Not wrong
>AN ETHNIC GROUP IS NOTHING ELSE THAN A GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT IDENTIFY WITH EACHOTHER
aka germans and austrians
ill say it in poorly translated german (eh, you speak german) and all caps for you
NEIN, DAS IST EINE KULTUR, DIE ETHNIZITÄT WIRD AM MEISTEN NICHT VOLLSTÄNDIG RACEBASIERT. SAGEN SIE, DASS ALLE CHRISTEN EINE SEPARATE ETHNIZITÄT SIND, DASS SIE MIT EINEM ANDEREN IDENTIFIZIEREN? ALLE LEFTISTEN? ALLE RECHTSFLÜGEL? ALLE RUGBY-SPIELER? IDENTIFIZIERUNG IST NICHT ECHTE REALITÄT. KANN ICH ETHNISCH AFRIKANISCHER AMERIKANER SEIN, WENN ICH MIT IHNEN IDENTIFIZIEREN? NATÜRICH FICKEN NICHT SIE MONOPOLOTISCH
NO! WE WUZN'T GERMANS!
Are former East and West Germans different peoples? Because decades of separation surely led to the development of two distinctive group identities. Should all groups that feel a sense of community and group identity be considered as ethnicites? Do you think subgroup identities are a thing? Why is German nationalism a reoccuring theme in Austrian politics if there is no sense of community between Austria and Germany whatsoever?
also because it is more poorly translated than i thought, fluent english this time. NO THAT IS CULTURE. ETHNICITY IS MOSTLY THOUGH NOT ALL RACE BASED. ARE ALL CHRISTIANS A SEPARATE ETHNICITY BECAUSE THEY IDENTIFY WITH EACHOTHER? ALL LEFTISTS? RIGHT WINGERS? RUGBY PLAYERS? IDENTIFICATION IS NOT REALITY! CAN I BE AFRICAN AMERICAN BECAUSE I IDENTIFY WITH THEM? OF COURSE FUCKING NOT YOU MONGOLOID
Aight, don't take it from me then, just look it up for yourself.

But i'll do you the favour and copy the sentence you're looking for:"The fact or state of belonging to a social group that has a common national or cultural tradition."
>german nationalism
Because in the past we used to be germans and took part in german nationalism, and since now nationalism is on the rise again, though not german nationalism, it's a reoccuring theme
what you seem to be suggesting is that basically every town and city, or even just parts of a city can be considered a separate ethnicity. I live in south Canberra, Australia. I am ethnically Anglo-Australian, descended from convicts and Ten Pound Poms. I identify more with south canberrans than northern faggots, does that mean northern canberrans are a separate ethnicity to me? am i ethnically unique to a different family member that lives and identifies with North Canberra more than South Canberra? Is my aunt ethnically different to me?
that is a super dumb definition compared to the common use word, see my other post for what that entails.
That is literally THE definition of ethnicity agreed upon by oxford dicionaries. I'm sure your definition is more valid though
i am using the common english use. When someone says "ethnicity" i immediately assume the definition i am using. that being Racially Identical, AND culturally similar (key word being similar). You require both to be ethnically something. Someone who is ethnically german is racially identical (white) and is similar in culture to other germans. Like Austrians. If someone does not share race with someone, theyre not ethnically similar, they are culturally similar. If someone does not share a similar culture to someone, they are racially similar. if neither, then they are not the same at all. Again, can i be ethnically african american if i live with african americans and identify with them?
Austrians are often described as being a mixture of german and italian in terms of behaviour, you know germans being stuck up and orderly and italians being chill people and chaotic. We're often times placed right in the middle of that, are we both ethnical germans and italians then? Your "definition" of ethnicity is full of holes and i assume the only reason you think we're similar is your lack of knowledge about austrians and the fact that we speak the same language as them.
>The fact or state of belonging to a social group that has a common national or cultural tradition
>we used to be germans and took part in german nationalism
Austrians are German by ethnicity then. Thank you for clarifying.
Do you not know what "used to" means then? Look, if you don't speak english then we can continue this in german as well.
i dont see speaking the same language as a definitive answer, but more of a signal to the possibility of ethnic similarity. Austrians are germans with italian influences. Also i know germans as being angry and efficient, and then Italians are just the Mafia, and all about family and shit. Basically the only difference between you and German Germans is that you love mountains, and have italian *influences* like how pomeranians are Germans with Nordic and Baltic *influences* they are NOT different cultures, nor different ethnicities. You could argue that they are different SUBcultures and SUBethnicities, but you and Pomeranians are still GERMAN
oh and also the original definition for the German ethnicity was actually anyone who spoke German
Your self-perception is not the only valid one, boy. Looking at your Vice Chancellor here, not all of you used to be Germans. If I feel connected to Austria can I just declare myself Austrian? Because I'd love to be your countryman, my dude. :3
