I think my wife tried, she didn't get very far. Apparently there's not a lot of information on my family. All I really know about my family is that some of my ancestors were Welsh and came to America to run from the law. Apparently they did some really fucked up shit and had to flee or die. Our last name used to be one letter off of what it is today, they changed it when they came here.
There's also some shit that another part of my family says that somehow I'm related to Bonnie/Clyde. I dunno if I believe it for sure, and I can't remember how, but I remember how it was explained wasn't really that crazy.
Apparently my entire family tree is just a bunch of criminal fucks.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

That's such a stereotype of Eastern Europeans. Not surprising that you hold such views considering your heritage.
Yeah it is...
My parents ethnic pride rubbed off on me a little. When I was a bit younger I was really patriotic about my Slavic heritage and I would act like typical EE people act like really racist towards our historic enemies and be prideful about our ethnicity. It's pretty stupid to be honest, I love our culture but when we start getting crazy and overly prideful it makes us look like huge douches with a primitive mindset. It's basically consolidating the stereotype that we are all backwards and poor.

My people are Slavic too. It's a different world where they're from and where we're from. My Dad and I used to always butt heads on stuff like black people and homosexuals. Now that he's old, I guess he's kinda tuckered out. He doesn't hate black people, but he still hates Jews and Muslims. I kind of accepted that he was taught that Jews killed his lord and savior and Muslims killed his family. Not saying that it's right, but he's too old to change his mind easily.

I was joking but now that I think of it...
I was on a train heading from Budapest to Belgrade during the time when Serbia was at war with Croatia. There was this obese Serbian dude with two young Ukranian girls he was bringing back to Serbia to dance in his nightclub. The guy was a total pig in every sense. He ranted for two hours about how the Croatians eat Serbian children and make necklaces out of their fingers. Really crazy shit. He also keep calling my boyfriend a "chinaman" finally he fell asleep only to begin snoring so loudly that it shook the entire compartment, Me, the chinaman, and the two strippers started laughing uncontrollably.

Lmao yeah my dad and grandpa are the same way. It's like they are stuck in the past. My dad hates Tatars and all those Asians and Muslims living in Russia. He blames them for all the problems that Russians/Belarusians had in the past and can't let go of the fact that they murdered and enslaved his ancestors. I can only imagine that South Slavic dads and grandpas are more mad about what the Muslims did to them since it was a lot more recent and they still don't seem to have eased the tension in the Balkans.

typical bigoted Slavic macho man stuck in the past. Not all of us are like that but it's mostly the hooligans and the retards. It's more common among Serbians because of the war in the 90s and the genocide during WW II

I have to say that of all the people I encountered in Europe, the Serbians were by far the nastiest and most racist. Even the kids. We stayed in a youth hostel on New Year's Eve and a bunch of Serbian kids took over the place being complete idiots, fighting and throwing up every where. There were also cockroaches and mice. The two days in Belgrade were the worst part of the trip.

It's kind of a shame that you didn't have a good time. There's lots of great places to visit if you head south. The major cities are pretty disheveled, but the countryside is amazing.

We went to Skopje as well. They were nice, but a little worried they were next in line for the wrath of the Serbian nationalists. Very interesting place. Looks more like the Middle East than Europe with all the mosques. We decided to get an overview of the city so we walked up a big hill that over looks the city and inadvertently stumbled upon the gay cruising area.
