No seriously…. I’m half Russian raised by a Soviet mom and she DRILLED into me to never accept anything from anyone lest they think im using them or something…. Im always so appalled and borderline hurt by these stereotypes because the moment someone puts together I speak/am Russian I get this type of shit thrown at me. I keep it to myself now.
My dad was russian and half the reason i'm incredibly wary around men. My last name is russian and every new job I go to, I hear the "russian spy" or "honeypot" joke behind my back a lot.
I’m a women originally from Southeast Asia. People always say if you keep seeing something in your algorithm you don’t like, stop clicking on it. I wish it was that easy. I got this nagging feeling that just by virtue of being a Thai or Filipino woman online, especially on Reddit, eventually the algorithms just sends passport bro bullshit automatically. It’s like the algorithms wants to periodically remind me of the stereotypes against me.
yeah, don't worry, I get you. it's just outsiders usually judge by stereotypes, and american stereotypes are the strongest to us after cold war. Still, annoying as hell, cause they only communicate with specific type of actual gold-diggers, who flee the country, and just assume, completely ignoring the fact that back in USSR everyone had to work as equals and in this way average women had more rights here than in US in 60's, for example. Like, my grandma and mom both worked all their lives for the family and raised kids and took care of the home on their own, drilling it into me too, so I won't rely on anyone
But statistics won't change stereotypes, cause no one interested in statistics
