User blog comment:White Vans/Why i think the Macedonia/greece Arguement is stupid/@comment-5590986-20160302152154

in my view

Today's Macedonians/FYROMs are Slavic, but not Greek, and they named themselves Macedonians because they lived in the region, though not native to the culture. Back then Macedonians were Greek, but slavics moved into the region (Cuz Yugoslavia), what else they will call themselves? well Fyroms for one, but We can all agree on that

It's similar to Australians and Americans that named themselves off of the continents
