I guess we should've known that if they had to choose between their ineffectual jabs at Trump, or their racism, they would pick racism every time.
Can we stop calling prejudice against Russians racism?
It certainly has a racial component rooted in orientalism you got a better word?
Does it? You’re borrowing sentiment from pre19th century conflating easterners with Asiatic hordes and the ‘Judeo-Bolshevism’ being a dogwhistle.
Russia has so many wildly differing ethnicities and races, it’s like saying anti-Americanism is racism
Africa has a zillion ethnicities and people are still racist against Africans.
In Ukraine, russians are seen as "polluted & removedd" white people "infected" with asianism, while ukrainians are the pure true slavic cradle interlinked with intellectual europeanness. Its a 100% racism.
And as soon as Ukraine loses this war, the west will see Ukrainians that way too!
They have so already in the past
Are you willing to concede that it's still bigotry and if so is the exact flavor/origin significant?
Yes, obviously it’s bigotry
