I was born in a western country but have a very Russian sounding name. Already had coworkers give me shit like I personally invaded Ukraine. Knowing how dumb your average American is anyone vaguely eastern European is going to be labelled a Russian too. Seeing how openly xenophobic people are on the internet and how little pushback it gets is genuinely kinda terrifying to me. Anyone else feel worried about this shit?
