Is my mum racist?

<p>I got a 89 on a quiz today and she told me “you’re Russian, you’re supposed to be as smart as an Asian and as creative as a European.”</p>

<p>hmmmm</p>

<p>Nah, just sounds like national pride (not the best thing, though) or using jokes to prod you to do better.</p>

<p>89% is good, by the way.</p>

<p>Yeah, just sounds like a joke to me.</p>

<p>If you want racist, I’ll tell you a quick story about my mom.</p>

<p>Interesting phrase!</p>

<p>Haha that’s not racist if she didn’t mean it maliciously. At worst her remark could be construed to being jingoistic if you were being picky.</p>
