Why is atila the hun always depicted as a mongol despite there being no contemporary description of him? He has a gothic name, his seat of power is around modern day Hungary, he ruled of a confederations of alans, goths, and huns, every one claiming descendant from him was described as white

Even actual historians are doing retarded mental gymnastics on how an illiterate mongol came from half way around the world to learn gothic and rule over european tribals

Attila was Scythian. The Huns were a Scythian people.

>Short of stature, with a broad chest and a large head; his eyes were small, his beard thin and sprinkled with grey; and he had a flat nose and tanned skin, showing evidence of his origin

This is the only description of Attila, given by Jordanes, who lived two hundred years later.
