they also have an extreme ignorance and/or disinterest when it comes to
questions of foreign nationals.

not once in the california case were people in europe or elsewhere in
the free world treated any different than people living in california,
next door to a movie studio.

also, they didn't even get my COUNTRY right for the first few months,
even though I pointed the error out to them several times.

so, expect AAP to ignore any and all aspects of Dmitry being a russian.
