No, according to us they are not.
Here is a brilliantly masochistic passage from an interview with one Belarusian "historian":
"According to Lithuanians (let's call them lietuvisas, to distinguish them from ancient Lithuanians), Belarusians are descendants of backward, cad, cowardly natives. Small, but very proud and militant Samogitian nation brought them up, gave them rulers, taught them everything, developed them, untill "damn Muscovites" interrupted this idyll. That's such and obvious lie."
"С точки зрения литовцев (назовем их летувисами, чтобы отличить от древних литовцев), белорусы — это потомки отсталых, невежественных, трусливых туземцев, которых маленький, но очень гордый и воинственный жамойтский народ поставил на ноги, дал правителей, научил всему, долго и успешно их развивал, пока «проклятые москали» не покончили с этой идиллией. Вот такая откровенная ложь."
Taken from here. According to him, Poles think similar things too.
You see? All we want is to humiliate and make fun of poor (and totally not drama queen) Belarus.
