Question
Hello Leo,

would like to know what does russian guys thing about asians ?

thanks..

Answer
Hello, Carmen, thanks for your question.

This question, however, requires some comments.
Russians, like any other nation, consists of many of individuals with different views regarding any issue, including perception of other races and nationalities.
Historically, Russians used to be in general somewhat xenophobic and suspicious of non-Russians and considered Russians superior to other people...
Russia, however, is more Asian than European country geographically, and is deeply involved economically with Asia(especially, China).
There're many Asians live in Russia as well...
As far as I know, a significant number of Russians express negative feeling about non-Russians, and many share such perceptions silently...
However, as I mentioned earlier, there many people who're genuinely tolerant to other races and easier to deal with than with intolerant individuals...

Thank you, Carmen.

Leo.
