Oh, we have partial Slavs now? I guess, there is a way to look at this, as long as we agree there are no full Slavs anymore and everybody is a partial Slav. Just more partial and less partial, as per Slav grading "system".
Original Slavs departed from ground zero, expanded around Eastern Europe and mixed with autohtons. In Balkans with Balkanic populations in Poland, Czech and East Germany with Germanics. Some in bigger proportions some with smaller.
But according to your "partial Slav" grading, still a Slav, right? As long as he/she knows it?
So German with R1a Y chromosome will be Slav, and Greek with I2 will be Slav too? Never mind that it is only 2% of total DNA?
Well then I guess its up to heritage and what is passed down your family. You'll know your Slavic or not. Or by what your saying I guess im African or Japanese whenever I feel like it
We did this exercise to point to you how complicated the subject is. Especially when population of Slavs is mixed genetically and of many customs, food, music and traditions. They are bound by language mostly, or maybe only these days.Well then I guess its up to heritage and what is passed down your family. You'll know your Slavic or not.

Again, Africa is so diverse that if you lived in Africa now, you could call yourself African. This wouldn't conflict with being "partial" Slav, European, Christian or Jew.I guess im African
Well, there is not much being passed of Slavic traditions now. Not the folk music and dances, not the folk clothing, not the Slavic original pagan religion, not the Slavic food (if there is something like Slavic food). Nothing much but the language basically.Well then I guess its up to heritage and what is passed down your family.

Please note that Aromanians, which are still speaking Romanian dialects, do have I2-din, significant or lots of it. Or whatever, they have some kind of I2-A. Aromanians have the custom to marry only with Aromanians, so is safe to suppose they have not mixed with Goths and they have not mixed with Slavic migrants that started to come around 600 AD (or earlier) either. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/j.1469-1809.2005.00251.x A very strange thing is that are some Aromanians that are having 42% summed clades of I (of which most should be I2-din). These Aromanians, which are from Albania, are also having 36.8% R1B and no R1A. So, clearly, not only Slavs brought I2 in Balkans. Whatever, these Aromanians with 42% I, would be very interesting to have their I analyzed, to see what clades are found. I am supposing most of it is I2-a.

The clans from Balkans are similar to the clans from Scotland and Ireland.
Another strange thing, Montenegrins have clans and they have mostly red beards and auburn hair is quite present at Montenegrins.
So maybe these clans structures were remnant from Keltoi/Gauls that were in Balkans.
The clans structure is most present at Albanians and Montenegrins.
See what Coon is finding between Montenegrins from around 1900, when he wrote "Races of Europe":
"The Montenegrins are prevailingly dark brown in head hair color; in Old Montenegro some 45 per cent of adult males belong to this class, while 20 per cent are medium brown, and 26 per cent auburn, or brown with a perceptible reddish tinge. The tribesmen of Brda and the northern border are somewhat darker, and show less rufosity. The beards are much lighter than the head hair; among Old Montenegrins 43 per cent are reddish brown, and 8 per cent contain a pure red element; only 17 per cent are dark brown. In Brda golden-brown beards are extremely common, as frequent as 39 per cent; in the northern border tribes, 24 per cent. The rufosity of the Montenegrins, and their tendency to golden blondism, is not only extreme, but is particularly unusual for this part of Europe. It will be recalled that the Serbians, traditionally close relatives of the Montenegrins, are much darker haired, and that the Slavs in general, when blond, favor the ash-blond side of the scale, being almost entirely deficient in rufosity."
Now from my knowledge there is only 1 group of populations in Europe that have mostly reddish beards and those are Celtic ethnicities.
Since the Montenegrins are preserving the clans structure, is quite easy to find out the paternal lines, because the family name is transmitted by the father.
So just take people with I2-din and see what family names they got.
And see if these names are all of them of Slavic origins.
A similar thing was made in England, to know the origins of certain paternal lines, cause paternal lines in England are also quite diverse and was difficult to know who brought what group.
Obviously, there is a modern nation called Montenegrins and we should respect that. Their "Serb" identity is related to the fact that they are officially still under a jurisdiction of Serb Orthodox Church. In an Orthodox Christian word, a church jurisdiction was very often misinterpreted as ethnicity. Before and during 19th century, in Montenegro and Dalmatia, the term "Serb" (as well as Greek!) meant an Orthodox believer and nothing else.Are you aware that Montenegro is the size of a middle sized village in China? Are you aware that 40% of Montenegrin population is ethnic Serbs? Are you aware that the rest 20% of that so called country are Albanians and Bosnia's? Are you aware that when you speak about Montenegrin's you are speaking about Slavisized Albanians sometimes mixed with Serbs through marriages? Are you aware that those who call themselves Montenegrin's do not exceed 200 000 people? Are you aware of recent president Trump interview that those people are very aggressive and could start WWW3? Are you aware when you speak about Montenegro you are wasting your time.? Don't you think that there is not such a think as Montenegrin ethnicity?

Yes. Even some western historians still don’t get that.In an Orthodox Christian word, a church jurisdiction very often incorporated several different ethnicities. This might have been misinterpreted by the outside world of course.
In the past, yes. However, during the period of national awakening in the 19th century a power of religion was often used as a tool for homogenization of populations around national ideas.Both laity and clergy were well aware who was who and how they identified.
