I have the luck to have learned english when I was a kid, alongside another foreign language, so people place me as “broadly eastern european” rather than precisely Russian but almost all expats I encounter I can immediately tell they are from there.
- SXX 4y agoWhile it's true this is simply incomparable with having different skin color and face. Also a lot of people who fled from Ukraine only speak Russian and have about the same accent in English. Of course they also sometimes get some hate even though they actually from Ukraine. Talking of me personally I just happy to have somewhat different accent due to how many years I spend in SEA. My wife is half kurdish half russian so for her it's even harder to tell where is she from.
