Atilla was Magyar Asian, not Mongol, you good sir, are the ignorant ♥♥♥♥.

How could you mix a Mongolian with a white guy? People mistake Atilla for being white because his Empire was based in Europe, however, he himself was a Nomad from the steppes. Seriously people, the ♥♥♥♥ are you smoking?

Actually, by the time Attila the Hun came to power the Hunnic Tribes had intermarried so heavily with western tribes that it is silly to say Attila looked anything close to East Asian. Likewise, you cannot exclaim beyond a reasonable doubt that Attila or the Huns were Magyar.

That is absurd to declare because the Magyar people were not even a thing until long after Attila. The word Magyar itself is concluded to be derived from the name of Prince Muageris, a Hunnic Prince who ruled over the Kutrigurs, which were in the Crimea.

The Turco-Mongoloid descent theory has long since been discounted by Historians and likewise there is no solid historical information about what ethnicity Attila or the Huns originally were. The Huns did not keep historical records, for starters, and the Hunnic Empire was actually highly ethnically diverse. Likewsie, as I previously noted, the Hunnic People heavily intermarried and bred with Central Asian/Caucasian Tribes. The Huns basically just sort of magically appear in History after crossing the Volga River and subjugating the Alan people. That was in 370 AD. Attila takes power 75 years later.

Jordanes cites Priscus as having described Attila as:
"Short of stature, with a broad chest and a large head; his eyes were small, his beard thin and sprinkled with grey; and he had a flat nose and tanned skin, showing evidence of his origin"

Nobody actually knows precisely what Attila the Hun looked like, actually. Since you mention it as if it were an ethnicity, peoples of the steppe could look any number of different ways, and the Huns themselves were a collection of different tribes and peoples. There are a number of reasons to suppose his appearance was one way or the other, some good, some less so, but they are all debatable.

Well, in Hungary, where I live, Atilla is portrayed as a Asian with slanted eyes and brown skin. Call that what you want, but it's certainly not white. And going by that logic, Atilla could have been Black for all we know, it's MOST likely that Atilla was infact Asian, even the Hungarian peoples portray him as such.

didn't the huns settle in hungary if im not mistaken?

Yep, ditto the name "Hungary" but just like the modern Turks, interbreeding with the conquered local population changes you're appearance over time. Here is a perfect explanation on how that works from True Romance. It's 10 minutes long but he pans it out perfectly

Starts around the 6:20 mark, the educational part anyways. Whole clip is amazing.

So just cause they THINK he is Asian in Hungary does not make it a fact. Facts remain that we don't know for sure. We could guess! Of course! But saying "HE IS ASIAN CAUSE HE IS ASIAN IN HUNGARY" is just plain wrong.

They did, and the Hungarian people portray Atilla as such. According to my family, they always have, Atilla is FROM the Steppes, denying he's Asian is just plain ignorant (in my opinion, that is)
