Are Russians whites ?

Just curious

by Anonymousreply 19October 22, 2024 1:00 AM

There's white Russians and black Russians. Depends if you like cream or not.

Russians are white but they're kind of C List white. They're not the cool, popular A-List kind of white.

Setting aside the obvious trollery, it depends on how you're defining it.

By the traditional old money, waspy definition in the US or the upper class definition in the UK, no, they are not, nor are Eastern Europeans in general.

As a practical matter, Italians, Greeks, and other mediterranean people are also "not white" by that definition.

Careful, there’s a beverage here.

Belarusians are literally white.

They're the other white meat.

Well - there ARE Asian Russians who obviously look Asian. So it's not a completely dumb question.

R5 Melania is East European so Trump married a POC woman ?

OP, there are Russian citizens who are not of Russian ethnicity.

R5 What the fuck are you talking about?

Please stop trying to impose your ridiculous American racist views on other countries. If you knew anything, you'd know the European Royal families, including those of Mediterranean countries, have been marrying left, right and centre for centuries. We don't share your imbecilic idea that anyone who isn't a protestant isn't "white".

POC woman married a POS man…

r10 Slovenia is actually a Central European country.

They're known as the Great White Cannibals of the North. Reportedly taste pickled and astringent.

Nobody’s White anymore.

They’re white, generally. Their physical makeup is “white person” like every group mentioned by R5.

Russians are YELLOW skinned

They are not the spokesmen for the world. Who cares about their provincial bigotry?

Eastern Europeans, Italians, Greeks, and other mediterranean people are white.
