Want to try an Orthodox Church, but they all have weird ethnic ties?

Greek, Russian, Lebanese, Ukrainian, Melkite, etc…..
Despairing a bit of Rome, but to get good theology and community you have to be around guys with massive eyebrows and non-Roman alphabets?
Aren’t there any ortho churches that aren’t so ethnic

it really depends. in my “orthodox” inquiry phase the first place i went into was an oca church in a lib city and they had the yuge eyebrow russians for sure.
otoh monk doods at the fairly well known rocor monastery i visited had bigger beards but were actually normal whites
the antiochian churches were full of white converts. priests were all white too except one who was actually a jew convert
that said, just do sede chapel if there’s one nearby. “orthodoxy” is ntcr

paradox bc what I want is to be outside the mainstream, but outside the mainstream are freakish weird people
last sede church i attended involved being accosted immediately regarding a dress code. i had a necktie on, was fine, but some frigid white woman on a power trip, in a mantilla, had to make sure I passed all her tests to enter the building. Only difference from a suburban lib novus ordo church is that in place of a lib white woman checking I had an "in this house" yard sign, I had a misfit white woman checking that I would do the Salve in Latin, or that my kids would not wobble while they kneel or something.
