Yes I am sure she would prefer Lubow (anybody else find the name funny, sounds a bit masculine) though when it comes to describing her nationality what would it be? I must admit I really did not think there was a difference, and I doubt if a Russian who has just recently arrived in Poland would either.

It's Rosjanka not Ruska nowadays, not Murzyn but Czarny, not colored but black people.

If you put it that way, it does seem quite serious.

Czarny sounds worse then Murzyn to me

When you say Czarny you say Black, that's going directly towards skin color. While Murzyn is any Native African...
