    They don’t. 😂

    My family migrated from the Soviet Union in 1989. My mother still watches Russian media. They’re all white. All of them. Ever.

      Case by case thing, maybe?

      My mother’s side migrated in 1800s, they still speak Adyghe and they still correct people calling them Russian.

      Tho they identify as white …mostly because Circassians fucking are.

        I mean ya… They’re probably the only actual “white people” on earth.

        I’m from what is now Ukraine I consider myself to be white but if your family hails from around that area you’re more white than me.
