I wanted to visit a Russian Orthodox Church, but I here'd that orthodox churches do not like mixing races? Is this true? How would people in the Russian Orthodox Churxh feel is a Asian or a African Americam came in there Church?

God Bless

The majority of Asians that are Orthodox belong to the Russian Orthodox Church. One reason being is Russia is actually Asian itself. The Yakut people (google them) are predominately Orthodox, they are a Mongol-Turkic people, one of many Asian peoples that are predominately Orthodox in Eastern Russia. The Church of the Holy Ascension in Alaska is one of the oldest churches in Alaska. It is a Russian church under the OCA whose parishioners are mostly Aleutian eskimos. They have been Orthodox for two hundred years. Church of the Holy Ascension - Wikipedia

In South Africa, the best chanting in the Greek Orthodox churches are by the black chanters not by the actual ethnic greeks (so yes, you can "mix"):

I would also add that it was the Russians who evangelized Japan as well
