Well, actually, the main reason for the thread was the poll. Due to the silly interface, it takes a while to add all the options. Meanwhile, the thread kept hanging.

not this again

Like I said, I failed to find a generalised poll on the question. They all deal with specific ethnicities and fail to present the big picture. Moreover, many polls are closed and you can't see who gave which reply. For instance, in the current poll you can see that Abenjadun is joking and giving part-reverse replies, so he is basically saying that he protests against this poll. Meanwhile, Idriz gave a normal reply.

Latvians are even not listed... cool.

Neither are Belarusians, Frenchmen, Bulgarians, etc. The poll is bloated as it is. I would imagine if someone considers Lithuanians European or non-European, he does the same with Latvians. I had to separate Estonians because some believe they are either more western due to being 'Northern European', while others regard them as not quite European due to the Finno-Ugric language.
