American Discrimination or Stereotype?
 

I was down at the beach today, and in real life I have somewhat of a Russian accent, not much but some. A guy must of heard me talking to one of my friends and shouted at me, "GO BACK HOME RUSKI (If that's how you spell it), Before you and your friends blow us all up!" A couple of others also said something like this before, but I decided to ignore it and thought it was just some guy trying to make me mad. After the last one to say it to me said it, I started to ponder about it.
I'm down in the south right now, and have always lived near the north. Is the American South always like this? Is there a new stereotype for Russians? I'm very confused and just wanted to hear some opinions.

Everyone loves fpsrussia on YouTube. The only stereotype I know against Russians is the drinking a lot of vodka thing. Don't cluster the whole country because of some people though. I think Russian accents are pretty cool.

It's just the idea of discriminating against me, when I don't even really have the accent. Like I said, I have one but not thick like my dad. I've also seen people make fun of others, such as people that speak Spanish down here.

You wanna hear discrimination and stereotypes? Go play Era.

or classic.. or zone

First there's racism everywhere, if you go to Russia, I'm sure there will be some people who hate Americans.
Second THERE'S RACISM EVERYWHERE, NOT JUST IN iERA!
do u evn internet.

I'm pretty sure the southern US is more known for its discrimination and stereotyping than other parts of the country. It tends to vary from place to place though, since where I live (south FL) seems pretty decent in regards to discriminatory behavior.

I might actually be stereotyping the stereotyping of others though. I dunno.

I Internet in the Internet. Duhhhhhh.

My name is Vladimir itchybollockkov.

its a southern usa thing, no one really hates russians irl

Sorry to be harsh but we hate Russians since rocky 4. You guys killed Apollo

OT: you should have popped those rednecks in the mouth

Long live the Confederacy!!

In the south it's just more blatent. Tbh the northeast is just as racist but they express it in a different way.

We gumma get dem terryrists!

But seriously, I kinda have to agree with Psycher. Racism and stereotypical profiling exists everywhere. The southern US itself is stereotyped to be outstandingly racist, which is actually pretty true. When it comes down to ethnic discrimination, the southern US is notoriously renowned for racism, even today. I mean, just look at this:

It was probably due to the Boston bombing committed by russians. (Not to be offensive) Also Southern folk do have tendencies to be racist. But seriously, who would do such a mean thing like that. It really is an evil society we live in. If someone said that to me just cuz i had a little accent, i would have told security or someone of authority. People used to make fun of me cuz i had a little bit of trouble saying turtle, little etc. I don't do it anymore but it was really bad when people made fun of me for doing it. Just keep on truckin' partner! you'll be alright!

You weren't digging for shells were you? iEra irl.

That's what I was so confused about, most people think it is cool that I am part Russian and don't say anything harmful like in the OP.


I would have, but those rednecks could have sent me back to Russia with one punch.

preach on brother
wait aint you a las vegas emo? what you talking about confederacy
Hate crimes are punished harshly here. If you punch someone you might get a day or 2 in jail. If you punch a guy after calling him some racist **** then the punishment changes. If someone insults you it gives you the right to feel threatened and defend yourself.

Boston Bombing wasn't done by the Russians .-.

Thanks, you learn something new everyday. I thought the right of "self-defence" was only acceptable in court in a result from physical pain against you from another person (ex. attempted murder or assault).

You can't beat the **** out of people because they called you a name don't listen to him x-x

Well historically.. (From what I understand; not American, so correct me if I'm wrong) but Southern America has always been deep in the bible belt as well as being known to have been the worst parts for racism, sexism, stereotypes, etc. At least that what I've gathered over hearing about Southern 'Murrika.

Yes you can. No one has to take **** from anybody.

the american south has a tendency to always be like that, just call them rednecks and they'll just punch you in the face a couple times and leave you alone.

The 2 bombers were Russian...

That's like saying if they were born in america an there grandparents generation were also american. Means the bombers were american? >.<

Well if they were born in America then they are American

No one cares they were Russian but they care they were Muslim.

That’s half true babe. The beauty about crime in America is that what happens doesn’t really matter what matters is how and why it happened.
If some dude comes up to me and says “hey wetback get your ass back to cuba spic” all I have to say is I felt threaten and acted in self defense. But I wouldn’t go as far as to beat the **** out of thim. With these massive Arnold like arms I can usually put noobs down with one swing.
Lol oh my what a beautiful comparison. If you were born in America and your grandparents were American does that make you American? Lol no bro makes you European.
