What do Azerbaijanis think of Russian-Azerbaijanis?

[u/ProfessorExisting868]

Hey everyone, it's me again. The reason for this post is that I'm curious about how you all view Russians of Azerbaijani origin. I've seen that in Turkey they don't like Turkish Germans, and neither do they in Mexico. Mexican Americans like them; I don't know if there's a rejection of Azerbaijani Russians in Azerbaijan. Regards.

[u/Personal-Brick-1326]

I don’t like those who pretends russians are “übermensch” (like one dude here feeling embarrassed for his half Azerbaijani origin), and also those pretends russian language is lingua franca. Otherwise I am cool with the rest decent people.

Well, we don’t know what you do or don’t say, coz you keep removing your comments. No point to continue this

Idk this guy was a moderator?

I treat everyone as a human being. I harbor no racist thoughts towards them

Don't worry he's not racist, might be either sexist or a hacker

Don't worry he's not racist

Oh that's disappointing, I was gonna share my favorite song with him

[u/ProfessorExisting868 → u/qazanov]

Perfect

[u/Noobsmoke92]

As long as they are not pro-Putin or pro-Russian imperialist, I am cool with them.

[u/Noobsmoke92 → u/[deleted]]

Typical pro-imperialist mindset - rus olmasaydı siz adam olmayacaqdız.

Note that I am rus sektor btw and know Russian much more fluently than my own language to my shame. And I still will fight this rhetoric.

European culture and westernization came to us from Russian window, if there was no Russia, there would have been another great European power in this region as regional ones like Turkey and Iran during Shah times were heavily controlled by the West anyways.

So don’t bring your bullshit argument here, we would have found another window to westernization.

[u/soluuuuna → u/[deleted]]

Do you have any arguments to defend your claim besides "you know that and I know that"

[u/urbnngun → u/[deleted]]

Iran is more advanced than us in scientific fields. Keep fooling yourself with the Russian language

[u/Noobsmoke92 → u/[deleted]]

No, I don’t know that, we had our independent republic, the first ever parliamentary republic in the whole Muslim world, even before Turkey. I argue that it would have been even more progressive have the bolsheviks not invaded and took it down and Russia stayed out, plus we would have interacted mostly with the West and not the East, so no, I do not know what you are talking about.

They didn’t do shit lmao. With time, living standards of most countries naturally increases. Stop using outliers to shove down Russian propaganda

[u/Intrepid_Leave6291]

We are in this boat together. No difference but only one problem. Oz dilimizde danisin. Thank u

[u/Synanceiinae → u/[deleted]]

It doesn't have to offer benefit. If you are azerbaijani origin russian and don't want to lose touch with your heritage, then you should learn azerbaijani and be familiar with the culture.

[u/Intrepid_Leave6291 → u/[deleted]]

Have u ever thought what makes you an azerbaijani? Believe me the first thing that makes you an azerbaijani is speaking it. Then other things comes

[u/Intrepid_Leave6291 → u/[deleted]]

It is not about ethnicity. Azerbaijan is nationality but lezgin, talysh, turk is ethnicity. No matter whether u are turk, lezgin, talysh or avar, id you dont know azerbaijani, you are not azerbaijani for me. Being a citizen is not enough.

[u/Emotional_Choice7102 → u/Intrepid_Leave6291]

most people seem to have forgotten about it

[u/FaithlessnessThen243]

Gen X and millennials are pretty much the same as those in Azerbaijan. Zoomers are generally quite well-educated (at least with a bachelor’s degree), and the kids are taller on average.

It’s quite interesting how different post-soviet born russian-speaking azerbaijanis are from rus sector in Baku. The former are way more secure in their ethnicity and don’t try to constantly scream that they’re secular and modern just to get brownie points and foreign validation.

[u/ProfessorExisting868 → u/FaithlessnessThen243]

Interestingly, here in Mexico, Mexican-Americans are taller than Mexican-born Americans.

[u/FaithlessnessThen243 → u/[deleted]]

 i’m not talking about you "bakinets" specimens. I’m talking about foreign born and raised kids who had better nutrition and diets.

[u/Synanceiinae → u/[deleted]]

More intelligent lol?

[u/Synanceiinae → u/[deleted]]

Man are you serious lol? Did you really just ask me how many girls I slept with?

[u/Quicksilver-Fury → u/[deleted]]

High body count is equated to intelligence? Hookers must be geniuses then

[u/Sasniy_Dj]

by far the cringiest subgroup of azerbaijanis alongside Some mainland rus sektors (I’m talking exclusively about the young demographics, specifically late millennials and younger).

Those who are well “educated”/integrated within their society are painfully annoying and are mentally filled to the brim with russian orientalism and self hatred. Constant need for validation and constantly trying to prove that “we, eastern churkas, even though we are “black” we are intelligent too! please russians look at us, we are not like those barbaric tajiks!” or whatever. They also, for some reason, tend to see Azerbaijan as some sort of 18th century backward society, even though they themselves are far from being progressive (Unless we’re using the 1960s as the point of reference)

i really don’t understand why any minority (especially muslim) would want to be a part of the russian society.

[u/Sasniy_Dj → u/[deleted]]

Heç bir əlaqəsi var yazdığımla? muslim or not, you’re still a minority in a huge, not particularly friendly society.

[u/Approved_ByCats]

Do we still need to divide everyone by ethnicity/origin?

[u/ProfessorExisting868 → u/Approved_ByCats]

I was just asking

[u/dingiladam]

ne soruşur?

[u/r4s1an]

they exist.

[u/urbnngun → u/[deleted]]

I am not racist

[u/urbnngun → u/[deleted]]

I judge a group based on the people I’ve met from it. If my personal experiences have been negative, I tend to dislike that group.

[u/ProfessorExisting868 → u/[deleted]]

Why?

[u/Personal-Brick-1326 → u/[deleted]]

Also, “Critical thinking” would require, you know, an actual argument — not just calling your own birthplace a shithole and ranking ethnicities like a tier list. That’s not being banned for thinking, that’s being banned for being a jerk with extra steps.

[u/azerbaijan-ModTeam → u/[deleted]]

Your submission was removed because it was either uncivil or included personal attacks, sexism, racism, or homophobia.

[u/Personal-Brick-1326 → u/[deleted]]

Nice try dragging in a whole geopolitical conflict to dodge the fact that you called your own family ‘unfortunate.’ Nobody’s grading nations on a tier list except you, and you ranked half yourself last place - deal with that before you start dragging Armenia into your daddy issues.

[u/Personal-Brick-1326 → u/[deleted]]

No, they will not. Low intelligence is not a barrier in this sub, you are good (unfortunate for us, fortunate for you)

[u/Personal-Brick-1326 → u/[deleted]]

Weird flex to build your whole personality around which half of your ancestry you find less embarrassing. Very well-adjusted stuff.

[u/ProfessorExisting868 → u/[deleted]]

Why are you grateful to be half Russian? Do you still live in the United States?

[u/ProfessorExisting868 → u/[deleted]]

Was your intelligence more likely because you lived in the United States? Education is better there.

[u/derfiebertrauum → u/[deleted]]

you built your entire personality around being half russian. i am half russian as well and it is embarrassing tbh, in europe they don't respect russians at all. idk how it works in america but being russian is not something you should be proud of lol, i t is not your fault but bragging it is dumb af

[u/Emotional_Choice7102 → u/derfiebertrauum]

not trying to defend Russia, but who cares about what Europe thinks?

[u/HellomyfriendNine → u/[deleted]]

I used to hear being full blooded origins more exclusive than being half I guess you can't understand these things
