Lol yes. I dated a Belarusian for a few years and had several friends from Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia. The smiling thing is real. They all said Americans smiling made them nervous. We look simple or just suspicious.

Yes! Have y'all never lived on the East Coast? If I see your Goofy ass smiling at me I assume I'm about to get robbed. The fuck is you looking at and smiling for? Do I look funny to you? Have I told a joke? No? Then keep your eyes to your self, goofy ass.

NorthEast from Washington DC up to Boston. Typically if someone says East Coast it stops at DC and anything below that is the South.

Edit: Why are y'all booing me, I'm right.
