I have a kind of dumb question, I'm sorry, but if you don't mind answering it would be most appreciated.
I am very interested in the Russian language and Russian culture and hope someday to even be able to visit Russia. However, I'm a little apprehensive about going there because my mother is from Rio and I inherited her Brazilian body/complexion and really don't look Russian at all. I'm wondering if I'll be singled out too much or ridiculed or anything like that because of how I look. I'm not sure if I'll even want to go if I'll be looked down upon because of how I look.
If I were ever to go to Russia, I think I'd go to St. Petersburg, and I'm just wondering if people there are generally very unfriendly to darker looking people. Thanks.

Just don't go alone wondering in dark alleys, you should be OK
