Russian is an ethnicity. Bigotry against an ethnicity is not different in any meaningful way from bigotry against a race. Referring to it as racism may be technically incorrect but it get the right idea across.
Racism has always been about inequality and dehumanizing people. It was always a constructed or mythological fixed identity.
But that’s not funny. That’s just sad.
It’s not funny like calling them orcs.
But that comment is 85% upvoted so clearly I’m wrong and that can’t be racism. Hey, maybe I have brain bleeds from long covid. Honestly that would be preferable to this shit. “Russians aren’t really hur hur hur”. Fucking racist morons.
It’s not “few” orcs that have crossed the border to Ukraine. It’s not “few” orcs celebrating the ethnic cleansing of Ukraine. It’s the collaborative efforts of a nation
Should i blame you because your government openly support genocide in gaza? I could but we both know that the government and people in power are the ones to blame, most people are feed up on the propaganda these criminals spread to gain wealth and power.
It may be a conversation worth having in a 1 to 1, but internet denizens crave hate and hate as much as they can when they can.
Usually I get downvoted for “let’s come together” comments that say things like all Israelis and Russians shouldn’t die in a fire, because they are not all bad, when people are calling for culling them. The internet is weird.

It’s the Mongols who allowed Ghengis Khan to commit his shit.
Uh oh, now you should be worried considering his lineage is in most of us. Those damn Mongol ancestors of yours. Why were your ancestors so complicit in the rape and pillage of continents? I think that makes you complicit, too, by your logic.
Yet they voted him in multiple times over decades full well knowing who he is.
And how much of his approval rating is only low because he didn’t have enough people on the Gaza border to stop the attack? They don’t care about what happens to Palestinians, the majority support it, they care that they were allowed to be attacked instead of being the attackers like usual.
And the majority of Palestinians in Gaza weren’t even BORN the last time Hamas allowed elections, let alone old enough to vote!
99% of the times atrocities are committed by the powerful few, it’s against the will of the powerless many. Not least because the latter are also the ones who bear the brunt of the suffering.
But yeah, bigots gonna take any chance at more socially acceptable bigotry, I guess 😮💨
Find me one person who got their trip to the “Homeland” who isn’t cheering for Gazan genocide? Obviously anecdotes, but numerous people I went to high school with have been posting horrendous shit since all this kicked off
This is so confusing, are we for or against racism?

no one’s asserting ALL russians - Navalney was a hero for example.
But the country is run by a shitstain of a human being; calling them orcs or chuds is certainly justified by their warcrime actions.
The Russians certainly consider themselves a race.
…no? I’ve never heard anyone claim that
Slavs. Otherwise known as ethnic Russians.
Otherwise known for squatting.
Not all slavs are Russian. And most other slavs don’t like Russians either.

Race in humans is a fictional construct. Doesn’t exist scientifically.
So logically, racism can’t exist either.
Hey, did we just solve racism???
Race is a fiction that created a reality called racism.
God loves a trier, though.
Just because angels, gods, gremlins and Eskimos are imaginary doesn’t mean that people can’t be afraid of them.
You must be trolling because Eskimos aren’t imaginary. I use their tax software every year when I go to file my return.

Not with that shit logic, no.
Importantly we do not judge all by the actions of few.

That entirely depends on whether OP you’re replying to cheers for the destruction of Gaza and their government being complicit in it.
I assume you take me as American? I do think it’s fair to call out how dumb they’re voting, as it’s fair to do with Finland too
I’ve had this talk so many times, it’s a simple lesson but it needs repeating.

It’s Russian people who allow Putin to commit his shit
It’s Israelis who allow their government commit the shit
It’s the Mongols who allowed Ghengis Khan to commit his shit.
Uh oh, now you should be worried considering his lineage is in most of us. Those damn Mongol ancestors of yours. Why were your ancestors so complicit in the rape and pillage of continents? I think that makes you complicit, too, by your logic.
Pitchforks at the ready everyone.
Ghengs Khan wasn’t democratically elected.
That’s my point. Neither is Putin. Netanyahu’s approval ratings are rock bottom.
Yet they voted him in multiple times over decades full well knowing who he is.
And how much of his approval rating is only low because he didn’t have enough people on the Gaza border to stop the attack? They don’t care about what happens to Palestinians, the majority support it, they care that they were allowed to be attacked instead of being the attackers like usual.

That’s the understatement of the cenozoic era.
