| She looks kind of emaciated. He comes off as pompous. |

So, let me get this straight, you picked up on her interrupting him, but not on his yellow head band?!! And about her accent that you imagined? But, not about his saying like, like, like, like and being the teacher! Note to op, when you see a woman think how can I prop her up and make the sister feel good. Second note, do not try to find a tiniest issue with a woman to bring her down while thinking a MAN should be irritated if he is interrupted!
Third note, what makes you want to tear other women down? And lick men's .......pride? How insecure are you that this is what makes you happy? |
She is neither. She is Jewish and that’s why her family was able to get an immigrant visa to the US. |
What? She was born in Ukraine. |
| I think they sound like a typical couple talking together. Also, Ashton is supposedly really smart, I think that came up that time when he was on the Jimmy Fallon show and he did hide and seek with BTS (which was seriously funny). |
Why is he slime ?? |
| He is so painfully unfunny and obnoxious and full of himself. She is a mean-girl bore who isn't attractive without makeup. |
OP here. Oh, I'm not surprised that she's free of a Russian accent. I would have just assumed she'd have the bland non-accent most people from LA Have. So I wondered how she wound up with a very distinct NY accent. |
That makes no sense. Plus there are plenty of Russian and Ukrainian Jewish people. She can identify as both, like so many here identify as both. I am sure Jews in the U.S. would take offense to your telling them they are not American. |
| It is true that Jews were persecuted in Ukraine. For a long time, and that neonazism in full blast there too. I am not familiar with Jewish persecution in the early 1990s in the Soviet Union. I am aware of the religious suppression, but not that Jewish population was persecuted since the death of Stalin. |

I've always liked them both and think that they have a genuine relationship with each other.
They are involved parents and the homeschooling thing with their kids doesn't surprise me at all. Doesn't Ashton hold a degree in Engineering? I'm glad that these two seem to have their priorities straight. I think they're the real deal which is a refreshing change from the fluff and nonsense that comprise a lot of Hollywood relationships these days. As far as Mila's accent goes, she sounds the same to me as she always has. |
It's true that things got easier after Stalin. But the Jewish population in the former USSR was always persecuted. Your nationality on all your paperwork was listed as "Jewish", not "Ukrainian" or whatever - your passport, your birth certificate, your school report card, your library card - it was basically to make sure people could identify you as "other". There were official quotas as to how many Jewish people were allowed into universities each year. Casual discrimination was extremely common - people could fire you, insult you, give you lower grades, even assault you, and there would be zero consequences. I remember as a kid being horrified if people found out I was Jewish - I did not have the "typical" Jewish appearance or last name, and you just never knew how someone would treat you if they knew. |
| I want to know, is his hair real greasy or wet? |
Yes, she's an Ukrainian Jew, most of whom are Russian-dominant speakers IME. |
NP here. The poster you're responding to is correct. My dad's side was Jewish and came over from Russia. Russian government and people were VERY clear to them that they were NOT Russian. Lots of persecution, etc. Jews were continuously kicked out of countries, so just because someone might have come from Russia doesn't mean that their lineage is Russian. It's not at all the same as being American. My dad's side has lots of military and are very patriotic Americans, because we can be. |
