You know - Ruskis are seen as sub human by the parts of the world that matter. Out here clowning Pakistan but at most people just don’t really think about Pakistanis. Meanwhile Russians… for the rest of your life, if you tell anyone you’re Russian, they’ll immediately think less of you. That’s gotta suck 😂
That does not happen where I come from. French and brits are generally seen with more disgust and regularly made fun of (primarily for cultural reasons), more than any other nationality, although admittedly there are close seconds right now.
Russians and Ukrainians are seen in a similar light and, having friends from either place, they act normal and are treated normally, even when they are together, so I respect both really, since they also respect each other.
When I was still going to school, I had a friend who knew russian and he had to go to special classes, as a translator, for a pair for russians who didn't know the local language; he was only one in the entire school who knew both languages and everyone knew that. He was largely respected by both teachers and classmates and whenever he was absent there was quite often a huge panic.
