I'm not sure how much this affects everyone, but when certain people are targeted in a country where
you're TL is spoken (and you happen to be a part of that group) does that decrease the motivation to learn that language? Also, have other people directly (or indirectly) influenced your decision to drop that language? I love Russian culture and the language (and the Trans-Siberian) but I really can't see passed the incidents that occured in certain parts. Traveling to Russia was on the top of my list, but the underlying fear just tainted my entire image of the part of Russia that I wanted to study at, and my Rotary advisors were insistent on being accepting and open-minded, but they couldn't truly understand my reservations as they would not have to deal with the problem. It's like a rotten apple spoiling the whole bunch and part of me wants to continue with atleast the language, but part of me wants to drop it completely. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Not sure what you're referring to specifically, but I doubt you can find any place where there isn't some racial discrimination.
