they arent of “mixed” descent. Austria is bordered by Italy and Slavic countries. According to Wikipedia 81.1% of inhabitants are Austrians, 7.0% ex-Yugoslavs, 4.0% Turks
Austrian’s are f german descent but to be honest he looks like a amerindian(red indian) .So i think his ancestory should be checked
I did always wonder, how come Arnold Schwarzenegger never played any Native American characters? It must have been because of his accent.

“…turkish and slaves”
Care to cite your source? Unless you’re talking about the immigrants who have invaded the country in the last couple of decades.
What slaves are you talking about?
F.e”Aurelia Jardni”. Kampusch, Priklopil – there are a
lot of Slavic names in Austria. Turks are immigrants
A lot of austrians have slavic names, like Aurelia Jardny, some
have german names or those specific “Austrian” names like
“Schwotzenegger”
