And said friend said "do you hangout with anyone but Russians? LOL" or fill Russian with your ethnicity/nationality How would you take that statement? Someone said that to me last night via text and I got really irritated because it went like this. "what are you doing?" Me: heading to pick up my friend Rob "the Russian one? Lol" Me: yes "do you ever hang out with anyone but Russians? LOL" Me: I hangout with whoever wants to hang out with me. I barely even talk to this person so that statement caught me off guard. I asked them if they had a problem with who I hang out with, and of course they said no.

Like people calling me racist. I'm not racist I hate everyone equally.
