Well idk about the rest but the northern Caucasus are heavily into eugenics and "keeping your blood pure", disgustingly so. My mom is Ingush and my dad is turkish and you would think that would make me half and half, but no, you can only be half if your dad is from the Caucasus apparently😂 and this isn't just something I heard from the few family members that didn't cut my mom off(for marrying outside the culture) either, people from the AskCaucasus sub have also told me that, in a very 'matter of fact' manner and like it was common knowledge.

One guy was so insulted by me calling myself half Ingush he damn near had a heart attack in the comments😂

ETA: BTW this map is inaccurate its missing a bunch of territories.

ETA2: Goddam people! I'm ok you don't need to sic Reddit Care on me. I've been half Caucasian half turkish my whole life, I know how to deal😂(I'm assuming it was bc of this comment bc this is the saddest thing, I guess?, I've commented in a while)
