i mean, ukrops can't even explain it, because being a racist prick doesn't require precisely high intellectual potential....
I mean, using slurs like "ukrop" is not any better, is it.
ukrop isn't a racial slur any more than Lib is. Ukrop is a political designation.
or gusano
exactly like Gusano.
It's not an ethnic slur, it's apparently from the Ihor Kolomoyskyi sponsored political party, Ukrainian Association of Patriots:
I have no idea why, since it's pretty marginal now, but it included many very loud ukrofascists, so probably because they became symbol of russophobia for Russians.
Didn't know that, thanks!
