Racial slurs aside,

The ancestry of present-day Macedonians is mixed. Their genetic roots can be traced back to Paleolithic and Neolithic settlers of the Balkans. However, their linguistic and cultural origins stem from the 6th century when various Slavic tribes migrated to, and settled in, the region of Macedonia. The Slavs actively assimilated other tribal peoples, and most ethnographers such as Vasil Kanchov,[22] Gustav Weigand,[23] and the anthropologist Carleton S. Coon posit that they absorbed part of the indigenous populations of the area, including Greeks, Thracians and Illyrians.

Today, Macedonians are people with a unique identity derived from an influence of different cultures. The large majority identify themselves as Orthodox Christians, who speak a Slavic language, and share similarities in culture with their Balkan neighbours. However, the concept of a distinct "Macedonian" ethnicity is seen as a relatively new arrival to the milieu of peoples that is the Balkans.

Previously, any reference to "Macedonians" in medieval and early modern times tended to be used as a regional description rather than a distinct ethnic designation. Such examples include the Greek Macedonian dynasty which at one stage ruled the Byzantine Empire. The first ethnographic data pertaining to the Macedonian region as a whole emerged during Ottoman rule.

Arrived 1500 years ago, ethnicity was first used as a descriptor in the region 600 years ago. As far as anyone other than anti-Bulgar Greeks are concerned, they are Macedonian.
