I'm Serbian and Russian but I was born in and currently live in America
Question for all (especially Serbians and Russians): If I were to go to one of these countries would they see me as one of their own or as an American. I'm considering going to either one, that's why I ask.
nobody, nowhere will treat you as their own if you are not native speaker of the local language, dummy
well I can understand most Russian and Serbian I just can't speak it. How far would that get me?
You should learn one or the other properly
Yeah trying to learn Russian, but it's a difficult language
Why would you ever go to croatia or serbia?
Do you speak Serbian or Russian?
why do you care so much about being "seen as one of their own"
you were born in America and thus you are American, and not Serbian nor Russian
nobody will "see you as one of their own" because you are not, and nobody cares about it anyway, you are just another foreigner
>I'm Serbian and Russian but I was born in and currently live in America
NO THIS ISN'T FAIR THIS IS THE HERITAGE I WANTED
GIVE IT TO ME
GIVE IT
Russia is a shithole same as balkans
its deeper than that
you can be a better native speaker than the natives and still be a foreigner
>nobody will "see you as one of their own"
Not exactly true. But that depends on him
>If I were to go to one of these countries would they see me as one of their own or as an American.
In Russia you'll always be considered an American, your "ancestry" does not matter if you're born and grown abroad.
I can speak English, but it doesn't make me an Englishman.
No. You would be just another generic American. Even 100% percent Russians are seen as foreigners if they were born and raised in another country. You are a lost cause, matey.
I meant my parents are from Serbia and Russia and I was born and raised under the culture and identities of each nation
>your "ancestry" does not matter
This is what amerimutts never understand
I mean I don't really want to be Russian or Serbian and am fine with being an American. I was wondering if they would see me as either one.
You got your answer then.
>I was wondering if they would see me as either one.
Why would they? You are American and you will be seen as American.
Would you consider a Syrian born in Germany to be a German then?
You're American. You need to live lot of years to be considered as Russian here.
No
I meant if I were to tell them that I was Russian and raised in a Russian household. And I figured that some people might see it as a ethnic tie.
So would you consider a Russian born in America as a Russian?
>I don't really want to be Russian or Serbian
What do you want then?
I wanted to know if locals would think of me as more an American or someone of the same ethnicity. My personal identity doesn't matter too much to me.
Idk what you mean by "ethnic ties". Sounds like some Jewish shit.
If you don't speak Russian fluently then you can't be Russian. That's like the bare minimum.
I meant it as in "a person of the same ethnicity"
They will consider you're as American.
Maybe Jews will consider you as their own.
>And I figured that some people might see it as a ethnic tie.
Yeah sure they would. But the question in your OP is kind of strange. It's more than just ethnic ties than makes one Serbian or Russian. Otherwise sure people might see you for more than just an American if you tell them about your heritage but that depends on the person
>m Serbian and Russian but I was born in and currently live in America
No, maybe only if you speak the language fluently without an accent.
You'd get beat up for looking brown.
No, you are American. If you learn Serbian or Russian you'll be an American who learned Serbian or Russian. Consider your ancestry a source of motivation, though. t. actual Russian
White people born and raised English monolinguals in America are considered American by everyone.
Why are Americans so cringy, they're like living in imaginary world.
Fuck off, mutt
