The term Viking describes a profession (pirating/raiding) than an ethnicity.
Now every robber (pirate) needs a fence, and going to the people that were pillaged is obviously suboptimal. Much better to go to others who are not well-disposed to the victims.

Yeah, but not by Vikings. Saxons, and before them Celts did a lot of ethnic cleansing. By contrast the people who we think of as conquerors (Romans, Vikings, Normans) subjugated, rather than replaced the native population.

Neanderthals were native to Europe. Get back to Africa, you pesky Cro-Magnons.
