@andreon300 Setu are indeed wonderful, good people, a mix of Russian ethnicity and culture with the Estonians'.

[andreon300]

@Ugrimugri What dont you understand? You yourself say now that Setu stress some difference.So is there any difference? I guess there are different ethnic groups inside 1 nation-read my lips:'I still think its a part of Estonian nation'.You not me write that:'Haha, they are the Setu, not Estonians. Setu people consider themselves different from Estonians, and culturally, they are'.

[andreon300]

@Ugrimugri Well,I still think its a part of Estonian nation as you are bound upon 1 language.Yes,there are distinctions but roots are the same.I wonder if there is Viru subethnicity ?

[andreon300]

@killerguppy Who do you compare who pls.?))Setu are real natural people.I dont understand some Estonians telling shit about great Setu ppl.

[andreon300]

@Ugrimugri I like these beautiful people but Estonians,at least I heard from 1 of them,say Setu ppl sing horrible and look horrible.I think such opinion is totally ridiculous one and mere primitive rubbish.Perhaps,they are unhappy tha t setu are of Eastern Orthodox tradion.What a damn!

this is filmed at setu talo museum. i know because im a setu:D this dance is called rikas ja vaene(rich and poor)

[killerguppy]

Almost the same, except they are not dirty, not thieves, nor are they very ugly.

[Ugrimugri]

Haha, they are the Setu, not Estonians. Setu people consider themselves different from Estonians, and culturally, they are. One explanation for their name 'setu' is that it comes from the phrase 'ei see ega too', which means 'neither this nor that', meaning that they are not Estonians, but not Russians either (they are culturally somewhere between these two).
