i am actually half-white, half-asian. i don’t know what community will accept me more, the russian communities online/in the us (since i probably won’t go there) or the east asian (chinese/japanese) ones.
i clearly will not look full white and it may have people say im not “real russian”.
dad is chinese-russian, lived in germany for a bit. (baden-württemberg i think). mom is russian.
Not a part of either community but I’d guess russian would be easier, assuming you’ve actually spent time to immerse yourself in russian culture/language/etc. Then again if you grew up with the general american upbringing and culture you may as well hang out with whoever you want, there’s no need to specifically search out a group of people if your life has been american culture up to now.
For what it’s worth back in my college days my old roommate was half black half korean. He really, really wanted to blend in with the koreans and other asians at the school but truth is most of the foreign students tended to avoid him. The asians that did hang around with him were the type that wanted to meet and hang out with americans and weren’t being picky about culture and whatnot.
yep, i was born in moscow and speak russian
