Viktor Orban recently complained that other countries in the EU were “mixed-race” nations. He’s right! France, to use just one example, includes Celts, Romans, Franks, Visigoths, and some Germans, so it was a “mixed-race” nation even before it started to take in people from its former empire. The UK (no longer in the EU) includes Normans, Celts, Angles, Saxons, Danes, Scots, and Irish, just to name a few. America, by this standard, would be even worse.
Can you guess what other EU country is a “mixed-race” nation? That’s right–Hungary! Due to wildly changing boundaries over the centuries, the encouragement of German settlers, and the freedom to travel provided by the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Hungary is hardly an isolated outpost of ethnic Magyars. Trying to preserve it as such makes about as much sense as preserving the pure blood of the Irish nation after over six centuries of English colonization.
The fact is that nationhood is an ever-changing concept. People with different genetic inheritances can learn to live together and share a culture, a language, and a history, given enough time. Hungary is no different than any other European nation in that respect.
