I'm still not sure about Russia..I think its more of a case by case thing.
(As a Black man) Ive tried to talk to russians on different trips around the world...some were friendly, some did come off as racist.
But one of my best friends is russian( His family is like "off the boat" Both parents barely speak understandable english) and for whatever they love me. Always inviting me over to meet whatever family and/or hot cousin..
The only thing i could think of for the reason they like me..is because one day after playing COD, I memorized the 3 stanza of the soviet national anthem..and recited it while his parents were around. in both english and russian.
Maybe its a language barrier thing..He absolutely hates that i ask his family how their day was..or say please and thanks you in their language.
But him mom..and the rest of his family love it.
