      Russia the country is both in Asia and Europe, that makes someone of Russian ethnicity born in Europe to Russian parents an Asian

      That’s… Not how it works lol

      Russians are an East Slavic ethnic group native to Eastern Europe. Their mother tongue is Russian, the most spoken Slavic language. The majority of Russians adhere to Orthodox Christianity, ever since the Middle Ages. By total numbers, they compose the largest Slavic and European nation.

      Closest you can get is calling him “Eurasian” I guess

      Russia is a European country at its core controlling a vast portion of Asia through invasion and colonial exploits. France is also located in the Pacific, North America, South America, Africa, but no one would claim that it’s not a European nation.
