Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Actually according to the laws of the People's Republic of China, Russian is a legally recognized ethnic minority group and therefore all ethnic Russians everywhere are legally Chinese. And since in Apartheid South Africa it was determined that Chinese are legally black and Japanese are are legally white, Russians are by the transitive property BIPoC.
That's some deep race lore
nodding sagely
Now this is some race science I can get behind!
Russians are not white.
To elaborate, whiteness is not merely the color of your skin. To be white is to be part of the in-group. To be colored is to be part of the out-group.
Russians have not been part of the in-group since 2022 at the latest, with the Russian Invasion of Ukraine. Russians have not been part of the in-group since 2016 at the earliest, with Russiagate.
Just being European doesn't make you part of the in-group. Imagine that the Cold War went hot, and American and Soviet troops were battling it out in Germany. Moscow gets bombed. Would you not weep then, because it's just white killing whites?
Would you not weep for the Soviet victims of the Holocaust, for they were white by your standards, and you do not weep for whites killing whites?
