The Ural Mountains divide European Russia from Asian Russia. People born west of the Urals are Europeans, and those born east of the Ural are Asians.
Turkey also has land in both Europe and Asia, and although I'm having a hard time confirming it, Israel appears to have land that could be called African while the majority of Israel is Asian.
The fault line that divides Africa from Asia is vague in the area of the Sinai Peninsula, and appears to cut through south western Israel on maps I have seen.

My great grandmother on my mom's side practiced genealogy. She was able to trace my fathers side (Finland) to early Russian royalty (that's where hemophilia originated too, in a Russian prince-my Aunt is a carrier). As Finland and Russia sit next to each other, they are very close. The Asians migrated north, hence the slanted eyes of many Finns and Russians. When my sister was born ,she looked like 'a beautiful china doll' as my mother described.

There may be Asians in Russia, but most of Russia is considered Eurpoe . It's a big country and part of it is in Asia, but not most.

No, Russia is Russia and China is China. The two in times past have been differentiated by the term " Sino - Soviet " so that should tell you something.

ACTUALLY, Russia is the only country in the world that's in TWO continents. The area West of the Ural Mts. is part of Europe and the rest is in Asia.

uhm....no. russians are russians, as canadians are canadian, even tho canada is "north america". just like colombians are south american, as are peruvians.
asia is the continent on which they live, just like india, they are indians, french, spanish etc, are "europeans".
