      Yeah, though in this case while still orientalist slur, it’s at least somewhat witty, because Hungarians really were were a typical nomad ordo during their migration west and conquests in Europe, they are also pretty proud of their supposed Hunnic origins - which are almost certainly not true, Hungarians are Ugric people and even the exonyms in most languages despite sounding similar to Huns, really comes from the Turkic word “Onggur” meaning literally “ten arrows” and metaphorically “people”.
