Why are Russians so mean?

Question

5 years ago this Russian kid told me he would beat me up. Once I went to my friends birthday party and he was there too. When I went to take the cake he purposely bumped into me and knocked down my cake. That was when I was in 8th grade. He still goes to my school. Of course things are a lot different now, I am stronger, bigger, smarter, better looking and have more friends than him. That was one Russian down. Last year this Russian took my lunch box for no reason and ran away and dropped it in the middle of no where. This 2nd Russian kid was a pretty big loser in school, he had no friends, so I left him alone. I am sure I could've done bad stuff to him but I didn't. Yeah these are only two examples but I have experienced many more. I know I shouldn't generalize a population based on two people, but that is not the case in case you were wondering. Many people I met over the internet have said Russians have been very mean to them. Why is that, they feel some tendency to be douche bags?

Answer 1

Maybe they had it rough in their past and like to share the pain.

If they haven't had it rough, maybe their parents did and treat them roughly at home.

My grandfather was a rough charactor, he was Ukrainian, they call them"White Russians" I don't know why but they are called that.

Anyways he had 9 children and would beat them and my grandmother who only had one arm, he was a drunk and a crazy communist. He took part in the Russian revolution in 1917.

He would send my father down into a dark celler and tell him not to come out until he found his hammer. My father was young then and afraid of the dark, he would look for the hammer and then hear his dad hammering upstairs. he just liked to play mind games with him. Sick.

Answer 2

Sometimes it's the hardships ppl have faced which makes them hostile towards others.  They're not the only ones with such hostility.

Sorry for the unfortunate encounters with the two.
