Today, I tried asking a guy I like on a date. He turned me down, saying that I "seem like a nice person and all", but after seeing those reality shows on truTV, he "would rather not date a Russian. No offense, though." FML

But it's TRU TV.... Therefore whatever he sees on that channel is obviously true. Moron It must also mean all Russians are the exact same way

The only thing I've seen of Russia on Tru TV is some seriously bad driving/accidents on camera... So that can't be it

OP, are you even Russian? IF you are, how did he know? Also, obviously, he's an ass and you deserve better.

His loss if he doesn't understand the concept of a tv show

I think dramas and sci-fi shows are probably closer to reality that 'reality' shows are

Even Syfy shows are closer to reality than reality shows.

Since Catfish is on MTV – seriously, whatever happened to the M in MTV? – I don't think I know which show OP is talking about.

Russian isn't a race. It's a nationality

there's no term for being against a certain nationality. so it defaults to racism.

...? No? Russians are still white, so, it's not exactly the same as the racist ways of someone who discriminates against Asians or black people.

＠5 Kindly explain in biological terms what is a race then? When you fail miserably we can laugh at how you managed to be wrong about the very thing you were being pedantic about.

Not racist, culturalist perhaps. I have a friend who says that Russians escape Russia by killing or *******... He's also a bit of a drug addict soooo... I wonder if OP had a Russian accent and if so what region? Some accents are so hot.

@44 "Discriminatory" or "prejudiced" would've both been serviceable terms. People throw around words in the wrong context like nobody's business.

If you are being judged solely by something you had no choice in the matter, ethnicity, birth location, orientation, it's bigotry, same thing. And people of European descent are discriminated too. Wife and I were in a restaurant operated by local family that happened to have African ancestry, incidental to us, we heard the food was good. We were nice, polite, patient and paid promptly. Then were handed a to go bag, not what we wanted, and told to LEAVE!
