Today, once again, I explained that yes, I'm Russian. No, I'm not a communist. No, I don't pray to a picture of Putin riding a bear. And no, I don't have any vodka on me. FML

Hey, hey, hey! Why are you Russian to conclusions? For all we know, it could have just been one person asking her this stuff. Though, the way OP is Putin it, it does sound rough. What an annoyance to deal with, but OP should always remember that, when life hands you Lenins, make poison out of them and use it to an advantage.

I love them. When people find out I'm from Colorado I almost always have to follow it up with "No, I don't smoke pot." I get a good laugh out of it :)

@66 Colorado and Washington were the first states to legalize marijuana for recreational use. For some reason Colorado got all the popularity for it.

the numbers of people who started smoking after legalization isnt as high relative to he amount of smokers to make a big difference, most people who do it dont care if its illegal or not, they do it anyways. haha

#47, at least people don't think you ride a horse to school everyday.

@74, I think it's because Colorado actually legalized it first, Washington took several months longer to implement the law.

It was basically a way for Putin to tell everyone how great he is. And from that Story came a lot of pictures to make fun of his ''I fought a bear and rode it''-statement.

I love your username! Very concise! Though I suppose it could have been shortened to 'No vodka? Disappointing Russian.'

I'm sorry OP, I hope people learn that stereotypes don't apply to everyone and maybe learn some manners soon.

I hate stereotypes, but every nationality, race, gender, religion, and sexuality has them. There's no escaping them. Ignorance is bliss.

Stereotypes are simply sociologically recognized patterns. They aren't perceived as solidified truths but rather speed up the process of generalized decision making. Because people have preferences that fit into a larger pattern. Saying you hate stereotypes is stereotyping as not all stereotypes are bad and negative.

You don't happen to be in America do you? I'm from South Africa and when we visited the US a few years ago I had to explain about five times a day we don't keep wild animals as pets. (As a side note, in Texas one guy asked what state South Africa was in)
