Wait, is Russia in Europe?
Edit: apparently it's in both. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundaries_between_the_continents
I always feel weirded out when people are surprised part of Russia is in Europe, when I was surprised to learn part of it is considered Asia.
Geographically only, not in essence
Essence?! We have tacos and bbq!
Turkey has kebab but they can't into Europe either.
Maybe if EU becomes the World State it can welcome honorary members
Nice one, you did a racism ๐๏ธ
No, you didn't seem to get the comment.
Russia is an Asian country and there's nothing degrading, less valued or discrimination in that.
As what it comes to russian people, they should be freed of repression as any others
It has a (smaller) european part.
Yeah, it was my first comment about part geographically
