You may have been born in the former USSR, but you are pretty much American in my eyes. Your parents might have been a great contribution in instilling Russian traditions and values into you (or not, I don't know), but without actually experiencing Russian culture firsthand (something you couldn't have done at the ripe age of 3), you miss that certain characteristic that makes a person...well...foreign.
I'm not sure if that makes sense, though.
