In psychology, we call this "projection".
I like to bring this topic up simply so I can watch fragile, insecure conservative/closet racist psyches go through a state of system shock.
As a white person, I absolutely adore to publicly defile the racist pedestal that white people are still on. The reason for this is both political (I'm decidedly left of center and act in solidarity with minorities) and personal (my fiancee is what society terms a "woman of color", and seeing these issues through her eyes made me become increasingly outspoken and militant about it).
As the number of mixed couples will only continue to increase over time, rest assured that this shift in mentality and perception about the things you take for granted is only just getting started. You inbred rednecks have no idea what's already heading your way. Your newfound Russians pals won't make a difference--they're already irrelevant.
You'll discover you aren't far behind them.
