My partner is the colour brown and he's been to Ukraine many times, working on environmental remediation in the Dnieper River. He's been to Kharkiv (many times), Kiev and Yalta, and had not one negative experience that he recognised as racist. That's not to say it was all pleasant, but racist attacks weren't an issue for him.

BEAUTIFUL photos!!!
