It is both as is Turkey and Kazakhstan. The Black Sea, Caspian Sea and the Ural Mountains forms what is considered the boundary between the two continents.
Russians aren't the only people native to Russia so you cannot make a distinction on ethnicity either. Ethnically it is also both. Going on Historical significance it is also both too.

From the Belarus border to the Ural Mountain region it is Europe, from Ural region to the Russian Far East it is Asia.

Historically is a European country that stretches all the way to the northern end of Asia.
The original Russians are a European nation and their language one of the European languages.
There are many other ethnicity's and minorities in Russia that speak another language, most of those people are Asians.

wow.

althought it falls halfway between both,
it's still considered a european country.

i guess it's because all the russians look like europeans more than they do asians and because half of the asian part of russia is uninhabited and will probably remain that way until the next 2,000 years, when the earth's axis shift and the ice melts off

It's half and half- or at least it was when it was in the Soviet Union. It's officially in Eastern Europe.
