People who are mixed races. How are you treated by each of the races you belong too?

I'm not sure if this counts since it's more like nationality. My dad is from Russia and my mom is from Israel, so in terms of race I'm fully white/Jewish but it's like two completely different kinds of Jew and extremely different cultures. I was born and raised in the USA so I'm not very steeped in either culture.

​

Russians are super excited to hear that I'm "Russian" until they learn that I can't speak Russian and don't know that much about Russian culture. Then they just treat me like a normal American. Israelis can immediately tell that I'm not one of them and give me the typical Israeli treatment, which to those who haven't experienced it, is a special and weird mix of condescension and humoring. It's hard to explain. It's like if I tell them I'm "Israeli", they'll play along, but will speak Hebrew in front of me or make references to Israeli culture that I don't get, and laugh when I don't understand, but they won't be outrightly rude or mean.

​

But yeah, bottom line, not fully accepted by either culture, and I don't feel fully at home among "Americans" either.
