RW was not into me and I did not pursue her anymore

[Johnny2009]

I completely agree, the lack of political correctness in Russia is certainly one of its most amusing features, as I come from England when political correctness is just plain crazy!

Funniest observation, SVO (Internal airport), white Caucasians walk around the metal detectors, any other minorities have to walk through them!!

What does it have with rasism?

RACISM 

Answer, absolutely nothing, just an observation of lack of political correctness!

Does everything have to be relevant???

Actually, she is not that "innocent" . Even before I flew her she had been bothering me to send money to her travel agency .

Some RW are more interested in getting a paid vacation than in meeting a man.  They are known as "vacationwhores."  You seem to have found such a woman.  Her email reveals anxiety about possibility not getting her trip to Italy; it has ZERO words about the possibility of not meeting YOU. 


I see that she was pushing for a meeting in Italy.  It is good that she failed to get a visa because she probably would have milked you for another $1-2,000 in shopping for shoes, etc.

Actually, I am glad it happpened because it challenge me to lose weights. I lost 40 pounds since then . My 40 waistline is now 36. I am 6 feet tall.

Congratulations for your makeover.  You have more work to do if you return to the FSU.  As part of this work, go to the Main menu of RWD and click on 10 commandments.

Please tell us which commandments you broke.  I have a couple of other "no no's" that are not on that list.

About being Asian, I don't think RW are as much racist as just not liking the appearance of Asian men.  Yet, I have seen Slavic  RW with Asian men, just as I know of marriages between RW and black men (e. g., one of my wife's best friends).  So it is possible albeit not easy.  Just concentrate on the level of women you would date in NYC, which begs the question why leave NYC. 

I have travelled a lot to SE Asia.  What is wrong with the women from Thailand, Vietnam, etc.?

White Caucasians do not exist in Russia.... 

This confused my wife.  Many of the US documents that she had to complete required her to identify her race.  She did not see "White," yet there were two categories for Black:  "Black" and "Caucasian." 

I suppose Great Britain uses a similar system.  How about the Dutch?

Gator, my wife would certainly be classed as white caucasian! I was also confused by that reply? Not sure about the Dutch but in Great Britian I have only ever heard that term, maybe it is not the official classification?

Who knows?

I've never seen race asked on any document over here, either government or private (like job applications).

Hi

In the UK, we have a little check list on many job applications (normally local council/Government), with racial categories, it requires a tick, categories are normally -Asian, Afro Caribbean etc.

They call it equal opportunities! Its just another example of our political correctness, gone totally mad.

The pun here is that you should ask your wife if the thinks she is a Caucasian... wear protective clothing when you do. 
In Russia people from the Caucasus area are not seen as white, but as black. They look like people from Turkey and surrounding areas.

Hi

I know what you mean now, I have seen her reaction to Caucasus people, she is not a fan! I think if I asked her that question I would need more than protective clothing, I think I would need a new place to live for a week!

Have a good day!

Thank you! I didn't know you discharged spell-checker's duties here.

Political correctness??? You Brits are crazy. Ask plan crashes victims anything about political correctness.

Yes but if she disagrees, she should read some history. They are originally blondes with blue eyes

Hi

You are welcome to spelling assistance, my pleasure!!

Thanks for the complement - we Brits are crazy, and proud of it!!

One question - I assume you were intending to write "plane"? When did the last UK plane crash, did I miss something? If you have ever travelled through our airports you will know that we have water tight security!

[Sculpto]

I am finding this thread a bit distasteful also..

Are Russians racist?  Hmm.. some sure.. all?  No way.. Most?  I don't think so. 

Yes there is bias in some circles against people from Georgia.. and parts of the central Asian republics.. how much of that bias is racial?  How much of that bias is due to religion?

I saw plenty of Chinese or Korean appearing people in Moscow.. "A" told me they were from the Russian far east and are no less Russian than someone from Moscow..

I would also echo Gator's question.. why not search in SE Asia?

[SANDRO43]

[GQBlues]

Dang! Isn't that the gospel!

Now mind you I'm technically not Asian as we in the US fit in the term 'Pacific Islander' these days; but like Russians, we generally are influenced by many Asian customs and traits. The Khan syndrome...

So off I go to St. Petersburg, Moscow, Ekaterinberg, and Novo - clueless of how I was going to be received by the women. Boy Oh Boy! Talk about a Moses complex. Everytime I appeared, Russian women automatically parted like the proverbial Red Sea looking for cover. I don't think anyone or anything laced fear upon a Russian populace as I did since the henchmen of Josef Stalin.

Man, that was a really scary and learning experience. Never, ever again. I came to realize all Russian women simply adore white, pasty men. So if you're Asian, African, Indian, Turk, Middle-Eastern, etc...or someone who have no use for SPF 1, Run Forrest Run!!! Russian women are simply not into you.

yet you still managed to find, date and marry an RW... so why discourage others?

[ambach123]

There are several members here who are minorities and married RW.

One is Donhollio; go to www.IDI-bridge.com his photo is on the left side. Do a search in the archives, he has repeatedly asserted that being Asian was not any disadvantage. Not every RW was into him, but those that were, were seriously interested in him, like his now wife, to the exclusion of others. That I would think is an advantage.

Another prolific poster, Billy, an American of Vietnamese descent has dated gazillion of very beautiful white women.

There are other minorities who have posted their first hand experiences, and almost all describe that though a very small percentage of RW are interested, yet those that are interested, are very much interested.
I am of Turkish descent, I have been to Eastern Europe five times in the last year. I have known many many RW/UW, several of them very well. I personally did not see this as a problem. Individual RW in my experience are much less into racial segregation than AW. I was treated just as any other " American". Then again I only met with those women who knew about my race beforehand. I am sure there are countless who would not be interested in a minority. One should clear this out upfront.

Oooops sorry, I thought you were following your own thought  

"Funniest observation, SVO (Internal airport), white Caucasians walk around the metal detectors, any other minorities have to walk through them!!"

And you call it lack of political correctness. Crap. The reason is the same why police stops guys with black hair and tan skin on streets to check their documents. When did you see a blue eyed blondes with attached bombs last time?

Have you heard about these crashes  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_aircraft_bombings_of_August_2004 ?

Georgians are Orthodox, and their ancestors converted to Christianity six centuries before the Kyivan Rus' conversion.

A common attitude in Central Russia is that of viewing themselves as the real Russians, and as superior to fellow Slavs, never mind Caucasians.

Hey, be calm I agree, there is only one minority group that straps bombs to themselves!! Remember we have free news in the UK!!

In truth prior to 1991 Russian airlines required no help in crashing as they had one of the most appalling safety records in the world! They cornered the market in air disasters.

Prior to this date it would have been safer to fire yourself from a cannon!!!

[Johnny2009]

Well noticed, opps!!! 

[GQBlues]

LOL. Ambach, sorry man but that isn't Donhollio. Pretty funny. Maybe we (they) all do look alike...Donhollio's from Canada and I don't believe he's Asian. I met him once already.

Sculpto, my wife was the last RW who didn't mind racial or intercultural relationships. She was only one of 3 in all of Russia and Ukraine, I believe. So now they're all gone from FSU so all Asians will be better served looking in China or Vietnam. LOL.

Like I said, all RWs prefer white, pasty men. Matter of fact, the older the better. Their overall rate of success are even directly correlated to the size of their girth. The bigger the more successful.

When did you see a blue eyed blondes with attached bombs last time?

Last one I saw inside the US border was 1996, Oklahoma. Granted, the bomb wasn't attached as it was a truckload. So he simply rented a huge truck and parked it by a building. Matter of fact, I believe he was of Irish descent.

Though you don't really see who's flying those unmanned craft bombing Pakistani and Afghani people down below but there's better than a good chance all, if not most of them are blonde and blue eyed.
