I read an interesting line on this yesterday on 13th century Mongolians would be confused encountering European christians whose primary identity was their religion. They would feel that they’re Mongolian first. I say this is interesting as their concept of Mongolian was most likely different than that off today, at least from my recent readings. I would assume it would be based on their smaller plains ethnic group but with the growing Mongolian empire it would be part of a larger plains way of life. Just think this may be an example of someone having a different understanding of ethnicity and what is primarily important.

If the European Christians of that time found their Christianity most important what’s stopping you from finding your online community and culture most important.
