    I find it extremely funny how it pivots straight from “most Ukrainians have never seen a black person irl so they might stare at you” into “so anyway, they might call you the n word and a monkey”.

    Doubly funny because (white) Americans love to say shit like “Asia is the most racist because I went there once and people stared at me and asked me for photographs”.

      “Asia is the most racist because I went there once and people stared at me and asked me for photographs”

      It’s funny but I remember when I went to an Asian country once I was actually eager to get myself photographed with a mall security guard all because he was a mall security guard armed with a combat shotgun; it was the coolest thing my eighteen year old self had ever seen. My sister was originally like “<evilsandwichman> no!”, but then she also wanted a photograph with him. Dude was a mall security guard with a combat shotgun, honestly coolest thing I’d seen by that point in my life.

        I swear, white people made that shit up just so they can mental masturbate about the idea of other humans viewing them as literal gods.

        I have never met a single person from anywhere in Asia do that while in college, and the university I went to is pretty popular for international students.
