If I remember correctly, Slaves were traditionally taken from Ukraine because enslavement of Christians was forbidden in Christian territories, and Ukrainians were Pegan. And yes, it's said that the words "Slav" and "Slave" are of the same origin.
@cjd But Slav in Slavic languages comes simply form the word “word” in Slavic so Slavs must have predated slaves logically, innit
(Asked someone smarter than me)
@cjd To be fair one of three of my DNA tests says that I’m 10% Baltic 90% Slavic others 100% Slavic

5I've never been tested, but generally I'm an Amerimutt from random European origins, so naturally I believe in judgement by "quality of their character"...
@cjd family stories are fairytales and lies
IMO genetics does account for something, but all of the world's greatest people were the result of random mutations & hybrids.
My favorite hybrid is Jew/Irish, because their strengths complement each other really well. Jeremy Kauffman is one of those.
@cjd Polish/Irish is interesting = always tall people like husband of Emily Blunt or like Elizabeth Debicki despite Irish themselves usually being short :
