View submission: ‘Eastern European discrimination awareness month’ part 4. More stories of Eastern European’s facing racism/xenophobia, discrimination in Europe.

Yeah as a Ukrainian who lived in England (14-21) I've seen my share of stupidity:

"This is your grandma's shawl? Did she make it from your dead cat's fur? Did she make it from her own hair?" "Why are you complaining about the cold? You live in Siberia!" "Suka blyat! Hui! Suka!" "Oh, you're from Kiev! We will call you chicken Kiev!" "Is chicken Kiev made from people in Kiev?" "You're a Russian! Ukraine is a part of Russia" "Say something with a Russian accent!" "Say something like Borat! He is from your country! Kazakhstan is in Ukraine!" "DO YOU HAVE BEARS IN KIEV" "Oh you just drink vodka every day there" "do you have CARS?!?!"

Borat movie honestly fucked up things for me a lot. I hate that movie and I've never seen it just for the reaction of people around me.

And that's in a private school with plenty of international students.

Try asking someone from Kazakhstan how they feel about that movie.
