During world war two there was quite a rise of xenophobia against Japonese because of the acts of the Japonese empire, do you feel like xenophobia against you has increased in the past years?

You you are also from a ““enemy”” country from the US, you may also give away your experience.

    I live in the US and I haven’t noticed any xenophobia. I have heard a couple of people refer to “Russians” like we are a monolith but they were still understanding of someone like me who is very anti-war.

    I mean, I’m guessing it’s not going to be as bad as during the Cold War, and even back then they were white and there were plenty who settled in North America and contributed their 1/32 of ancestry, so I’m not aware of much stigma ever being present here.
