I am from Russia and at every party somebody will ask me if I drink Vodka or if I drink Vodka for breakfast or some other bullshit. When it's cold outside, somebody will say that I should not feel cold because I am from Russia like it gives some kind of immunity to cold. People do not understand that some jokes are not funny if repeated 50 times.

I do not feel oppressed or not belonging though.



I've heard these exact jokes time and time again. I know I should be bothered by them but like you, I do not feel oppressed, just annoyed.


Hardly the same thing. As an aussie I get asked if I used to ride a Kangaroo to school. This is not the same thing at all.

The proper response to these jokes is "I've never heard that one before."
