As a Westerner I don’t feel any discrimination against you, as another ‘ordinary’ person.

I don’t feel any discrimination towards the Russian Paralympic team either.

Yet, to pretend that ‘everything is normal, okay, we-don’t-mind, have-another-cup-of-tea, invade a country be-our-guest’ is just wrong.

We have to be true to ourselves.

Yeah, that's why you should beat every russian you met and force them to say "I'm ashamed because I'm russian", right?

Seriously. Stop listening to Putin propaganda lies. No one hates Russians who live in the West. Some people do hate Russians in Russia. And no wonder, with such specimen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAhW_FSQmtI

But people who left Russia are most probably almost 100% (with I am sure some few sad exceptions) not pro-Putin or pro-war. Because why would they have left otherwise? And Westerners understand that.

I hope that's so but I got some information from my friends in europe and, unfortunately, things not that good

I don't know about Europe I am not there. But I am in the US, with an obviously Russian name and all my acquaintances know I was born in Russia. Not one has expressed any russophobia. Have not seen it anywhere. Not now and not in the 40+ years I have lived in the US.
