uh... hello? stereotypical much?! if you're going to argue your point, at least do it so it doesn't make you seem like a hypocrite.

I don't think that word means what you think it means. This comment isn't hypocritical. Does she stereotype? Sure. Generalize? You betcha! Contradict herself/in any way indicate that the aforementioned comment isn't truly indicative of her beliefs? Not so much.

One could argue that the "sadly" does make her a hypocrite. It conveys a feeling of regret that Russians stereotype Americans. Then she goes on the blatantly steteotype Russians, which seems to contradict that implied regret. Just sayin'.

Dude, I'm an American. Born and raised in our Nation's Capital. Being fat is something that Americans are known for in European countries whether we like it or not. (Hence the ******* word sadly.)

And no, I'm not stereotyping Russians. I've got Russian friends that will flat out tell you they think, compared to people in Russia, that most Americans are fat.

I think that was more of a "get over it" sadly than a "I truly regret this state of affairs" sadly. Honestly, your explanation is a HUGE stretch for me.

I really don't see how it's that huge of a stretch considering I spent most of last summer in Moscow. Compared to Russia, America is morbidly obese. It's why the OP's boyfriend said what he did and it's why my Russian friends say what they say. Truthfully, I really couldn't give two ***** what any of you think when I'm just stating things from my personal knowledge.

Also, just thought I'd add, you guys are reaching so ******* hard with how I apparently use the word sadly. Christ on a cracker.

Couldn't agree more! This is neither an FML or a YDI for that matter.. Be glad he at least puts out effort to try to make u feel better, trust me, he could've said/done a lot worse!

Yea. You are lucky he didn't dump you. And I think it was meant as a joke
