During world war two there was quite a rise of xenophobia against Japonese because of the acts of the Japonese empire, do you feel like xenophobia against you has increased in the past years?

You you are also from a ““enemy”” country from the US, you may also give away your experience.

    Idiots do that. Resenting a whole people for the acts of one asswipe. Not every Russian want this war. Not every person loves war. Stupid propaganda shit from both sides.

        We’re all the same apes, we just speak different languages ☺️ To answer your initial question (in proxy, am no Russian) btw: The russian friends i have do not feel more xenophobia than before. In Russia that is. I’d say here they totally would, considering how hating Russia became the new normal (and also considering how many Ukrainians fled to here)

    I live in the US and I haven’t noticed any xenophobia. I have heard a couple of people refer to “Russians” like we are a monolith but they were still understanding of someone like me who is very anti-war.

      You can still leave but you might have to jump through hoops. My mom had to go to Kazakhstan to get an American visa to come visit me because all embassies are closed in Russia.

    I mean, I’m guessing it’s not going to be as bad as during the Cold War, and even back then they were white and there were plenty who settled in North America and contributed their 1/32 of ancestry, so I’m not aware of much stigma ever being present here.
