Russians look European, speak an European language and have a culture that's immensely inspired by that of other European countries. There's not really anything "Asian" about them.

That is if we're talking Russians as an ethnicity. The terms are conflated in English, but no so much in Russian.

Yes, I'm aware that there are two words in the Russian language that are both simply translated into English as "Russian": the one for ethnicity and the one for citizenship. I didn't feel the need to point it out since most people think only of the former.

Fair enough. I felt the need to mention it to highlight the absurdity of separation. Asian, "white". Which am I? Apparently depends on time of the day
