As a true Brighton Beach Babe (born and raised) I must say
that the show Russian Dolls is pretty spot on. Most Russians are materialistic RACIST
and disrespectful (to their elders and everyone else for that matter).  Every Russian friend I had did the same
thing:  they would date a black or “Spanish”
guy and then give them the boot when it was time to bring them home to the family.
Only to marry a Boris or Igor, (usually an ugly guy that will eventually beat
them) (lol j/k)  It’s amazing that any
channel would glorify their behavior. The true Brighton beach residents are the
Hasidic’s,
Irish, Italian Pakistani, Spanish, Turkish, and my Coco colored friends ;) you
ask a Russian anything about Brighton’s
history and they don’t know. Now don’t get me wrong there are some Russians
that LOVE America
and everything about it. I know some beautiful Russian people (inside and out) those
are the one’s that come off the boat and within 3 months speak English. They embrace
this county and everything about it and are proud to say they are Russian-Americas.
However most have been here for years, don’t speak any English or have no any
intention on learning.  They say that Americans
don’t like them but it’s them that don’t like us. I mean, it could be the years
of repression and a communist life that inbreeds money hungry schemers; which is why they come here with no shame and take
advantage of our system.. I can’t tell you how many Russians I’ve witnessed in
a check cashing place getting welfare checks and food stamps in their
chinchilla furs and fendi bags. Or how many times I’ve seen a mom of three with
a screaming baby and a cart of a few grocery’s get cut off in line by the
Russian lady with a cart full and while that mom argues with the lady, another babushka
is cutting in front of them both...LOL it’s crazy!!  They have no manors..:)  Now don’t come back saying I’m a racist or don’t
know what I’m taking about because I’m NOT!  I love all cultures and see the beauty and ugly
of them all. (It’s just part of growing up in a place like Brooklyn)
However, this is in regards to Brighton Beach Russians and the culture that is..
my neighborhood!!  Unless you’r from
there, you just don’t know. J

So

Do svidanya,
Adios, Shalom, Ciao and Goodbye!
 

Dear Enia! The whole point of my comment was to praise
great Russian-American women and to defend their reputation! I did not "imply" anything else. It's true that I did

not include many noble professions in my very short list. But read my
comments carefully: I was talking mostly about young students and recent
college graduates. And I don't think
that journalists or computer specialists fit your "traditionally female, subservient job title"
definition.

I am shocked by the way they talk to their parents.  Can this be accurate? I thought there was a strong family culture.  One called her mother a bitch and the mother looked terrified of her.  The daughter-in-law of Eva was so cruel--how is is possible that the son did not stand up for his mother?  Some of it is mildly entertaining but the disrespectful language made me ill.

Check out my audition video for this show, trust me I have MORE scoops
about these cast members then anyone, plus behind the scenes info:

Roman, I watched your video. It is very unfortunate that I wasted my time watching this sad nonsense. You are young, healthy and ambitious. Yet you choose to spend your energy on these empty "scoops". Again, very sad!

I just want a show about people who actually have jobs in Brighton Beach. Park Slope even. How about Williamsburg? Jobs anyone?

yea... sadly there is a reason why stereotypes exist: they are usually pretty accurate. I have an entire blog about Russian stereotypes... and judging from the responses... people agree with the fact they are true (and funny)

oh and ugh this is the blog: www.russiansanonymous.com

I'll take the one in the middle.

I think a show called Paralegals of Brighton Beach could succeed if the girls are sexy enough.

I don't think anyone has ever claimed that these shows speak for the entirety of ANY community - detractors of the show seem to assert, on the contrary, that if we acknowledge that these groups CAN be absurd (like any group), then anyone who watches on bemusedly is a racist/biased/etc.
But feel free to get your panties all in a bunch about it. However, I think that a show about JAPs would be the funniest thing I have ever seen. That story needs to be told. 

what we need to see is jersey shore with a drunken irish guy from breezy tearing their egos down. i could see it now, some big pasty white irish guy (with a beer belly that is as red as a lobster) sitting on the couch with a beer in hand just making fun of everyone on that cast. that would be perfect! so how about it mtv? did i just add some more depth to that boring show?

when will we see a show about the JAPS of looooong island...I'm guessing ..never...Marlon Brando was right...Hollywood is run by Jews. It is owned by Jews, and they should have a greater sensitivity. They should have greater sensitivity about the issue of people who are suffering because they've [been] exploited. We have seen the nigger, we've seen the greaseball, we have seen the chink, the slit-eyed dangerous Jap. We have seen the wily Filipino. We've seen everything, but we never saw the kike, because they know perfectly well that is where you draw the wagons around.

Do you even realize that most of Russians in Brighton Beach are actually Jewish?

oy! cry me a riva! who wants to see that anyway?

I thought the entire first season of My Super Sweet Sixteen was a show about JAPS?

So, Jewish people understand the value of entertainment, and are great at providing it. Actually, Scientologists just want you to believe that Jews run Hollywood.

Huh really?
WTf don't all te Jews caricature their own crazy people then?
It's about time that the Jews that run jollywood do a show about their ridiculous Jews of Boroogh park crooklyn
