Chapter 1661 The reason for not bringing Aisha

Kaxin coughed twice and whispered, "Boss, have you ever dated a flight attendant? Can you share some experience?

Bruch also leaned over to listen.

Xiao Peng and Fabian looked at each other and said, "Well, others may not know this, but Fabian and I have never come into contact with a working flight attendant. You two have been with us for so long, you should know the difference!"

After hearing this, Kasim whispered, "I heard that flight attendants are all very promiscuous, but when I saw her... Oh my God, my heart was pounding!"

Bruch rolled his eyes at him. "What? Finally got over your last failed marriage? Come on, stop talking so sweetly and making your heart flutter. You're just lusting after her body!"

Kasim retorted, "Didn't you? Didn't you? Didn't you tell your 'fiancée' that you 'didn't want to get married'? Why are you trying to snatch her from me now?"

Vander Loupe couldn't stand it any longer: "What's the point of you discussing this for so long? Maybe she's already married!"

"Oh, that's right." Kasim scratched his head and said to the side: "Joseph! Go and ask her if she's married!"

There were quite a few people visiting Russia this time, even Fabian brought his assistant agent and bodyguards. As he put it: "After all, this is Russia, so more bodyguards are better."

Hearing this, Kaxin brought Joseph and another guy named Johnny from the Walter Corps. They'd been tortured by Kaxin a lot during Xiao Peng's time in the US, but he didn't bring Aisha with him this time – he couldn't even beat a few ordinary Americans. What a shame! He should continue training at home!

Besides, we are going to Russia, Elsa... ahem, it’s better not to go.

The reason is simple—he is black.

There are very few black people in Russia, and there is a joke that can illustrate this problem.

It is said that when the CIA wanted to infiltrate the former Soviet Union, they began to secretly train an agent, making him learn the Soviet people's words and deeds. He was asked to eat sauerkraut and black bread every day, drink a bottle of vodka every day, practice anti-freeze with his bare chest in Alaska, and even be punished for speaking English in his sleep.

After five years of hard training, the agent finally completed his training and boarded a plane to Moscow.

After getting off the plane, he wanted to put his five years of hard training to the test. He asked a passerby for directions, and the passerby replied, "You're not from the Soviet Union, are you? Your Russian is amazing! Where did you learn that?" The agent was frustrated. How could he be recognized so quickly? He went to a restaurant and ordered dishes like a typical Soviet eater. The owner was thrilled: "Wow, you can order the signature dishes, and you eat like a local! How long have you been in the Soviet Union? Where are you from?"

The agent was even more puzzled. How could he be recognized like this? So he went to a bar and drank a bottle of whiskey directly. As a result, the Soviets who were watching were even more excited: Wow, you foreigners can drink like us.

The CIA agent was on the verge of collapse, so he simply took off his shirt and started fighting like a drunk Soviet. But when he arrived at the police station, he found that the KGB had been waiting for him there: We have been keeping an eye on you for a long time, which country sent you from?

The CIA agent was really crazy: Why am I not Soviet? Is my language not standard?

"no"

"Is my lifestyle wrong?"

"no!"

"Isn't it wrong to act crazy when drinking?"

"no"

"Then how do you know I'm not Soviet?"

"Because we don't have black people in the Soviet Union."

It’s not that there are no black people in Russia, but there are very few black people. And they don’t like black people very much.

As for the reason, it is related to the policies of the former Soviet Union.

At the time, the Soviet Union, seeking to expand its influence, recruited international students worldwide, attracting a wave of African students. To attract these students, the Soviet Union did everything it could: each African student received a stipend roughly double that of an average worker, was exempted from required courses like Party history for local university students, and enjoyed special privileges, including the ability to protest in Red Square without being arrested or jailed.

Furthermore, because these African-American students were financially well-off (provided free by the Soviet Union), they were constantly surrounded by Soviet women. This led to intense tensions between Soviet male students and the African-American students, often leading to large-scale violence and political disputes. For example, in 1963, 700 African-American students surrounded Red Square in a protest, engaging in brawls with police and Soviet civilians. The protests were sparked by an assault by African-American students, who were then treated with apparent partiality by the police. The resulting riots in Red Square nearly embarrassed the Soviet Union.

The same thing happened several times later!

How could ordinary people not have objections to the Black brothers' good conditions? Nowadays, some women in China who are close to Black men are verbally abused. This is actually much better than the Soviet Union back then. Back then, if a girl dated a Black man, she would be called "not even as good as the lowest-class prostitute" and be despised by everyone. And if a Russian girl in school wanted to marry a Black man? She'd be expelled!

Of course, even so, it couldn't stop those girls who wanted to change their lives from rushing to be with African students. This naturally led to deeper conflicts.

These black students received free education, free meals, free money, and enjoyed privileges far exceeding those of Soviet citizens. After graduation, they returned directly to their home country. Not only did they severely criticize the Soviet Union's politics, economy, society and culture, they were basically the main force in spreading bad things about the Soviet Union in the Western media at that time!

Which ordinary people can bear this? So in Russia, people are really not that friendly to black people - and it is still the same today.

In fact, from the perspective of an observer, it is impossible to say who is right or wrong in this matter.

Are those black people who say they're being discriminated against right? They are! The Soviet people were unfriendly to them! But should the Soviets be angry? They should be! Who can stand by and watch a group of people specifically pick up their own girls? If you were rich enough to pick them up, we wouldn't say anything, but you're being paid by our country! Does the country pay you to cause trouble for us ordinary people?

So the real root of the conflict lies with the Soviet government. They wanted to expand their influence, so they offered such favorable conditions to recruit African students. However, this was too hasty, and it caused class conflicts.

Regardless, this contradiction has taken root. Currently, there are fewer than 50,000 Black people in all of Russia, many of whom are descendants of Black servants of the Tsarist nobility. Black people are virtually invisible in this country. This is evident in Russian films: a film with hundreds of characters might not even have a single Black actor.

If taking Elsa to the United States could ease racial conflicts, then taking Elsa to Russia would likely cause racial conflicts. So, at Kasim's suggestion, Elsa stayed at home, and this time, Joseph and Johnny came with her.

It doesn't matter who you lead - no one is a match for Xiao Peng anyway.
