I find it extremely funny how it pivots straight from "most Ukrainians have never seen a black person irl so they might stare at you" into "so anyway, they might call you the n word and a monkey".
Doubly funny because (white) Americans love to say shit like "Asia is the most racist because I went there once and people stared at me and asked me for photographs".
The notion that Asia is the most anti-black country is so odd to me. Like even if people were foaming at the mouth racist and saying slurs to every black person in the street, I don’t see how that’s more racist when black people make up a tiny percentage of the population and most countries there have little history with black people, whereas black citizens make up a significant portion of the western countries, and multiple (particularly angloid) countries had laws specifically targeting black people, and they still target them today. This isn’t mentioning the endless pro-destitution policies the west imposes on Africa.
One of it is (mostly) opportunist racism whereas the other explicitly incorporated anti black racism into countries’ very foundation
Honkies in America legitimately believe that because it's socially unacceptable to shout a slur at a black person that all racism has been alleviated from society, we are now systemically equal, and no white person has racial biases anymore because if they do, they'll get called out by "anti-racist" liberals. Right?
You see, a lot of countries don't have large black populations and haven't developed cultural conventions, laws, etc. around incorporating black populations into their societies. It's because these societies are inherently racist and definitely not because they didn't participate in the trans-Atlantic slave trade.
It's a CIA thing. The feds even hire Asian-Americans (usually women for some reason) to promote the idea that Asians are backwards and hate blacks.
"Asia is the most racist because I went there once and people stared at me and asked me for photographs"
It's funny but I remember when I went to an Asian country once I was actually eager to get myself photographed with a mall security guard all because he was a mall security guard armed with a combat shotgun; it was the coolest thing my eighteen year old self had ever seen. My sister was originally like " no!", but then she also wanted a photograph with him. Dude was a mall security guard with a combat shotgun, honestly coolest thing I'd seen by that point in my life.
I've seen mall security guards with full on submachine guns and assault rifles like the Beretta MX4 and various Galil/R4/R5 variants, along with body armour.
South Africa is something else at times.
I swear, white people made that shit up just so they can mental masturbate about the idea of other humans viewing them as literal gods.
I have never met a single person from anywhere in Asia do that while in college, and the university I went to is pretty popular for international students.
Maybe if you go to tourist sites in China and it was 15 years ago? Considering tourist sites are visited by people from the countrysides
They've never seen a black person before but all their children's games involve blackface.
Also love the line "it will be at your discretion to determine their intent"
"Gee I wonder what that guy could have possibly meant when he screamed "go back to Africa ******' at me?"
Some poor NGO sap getting called the n-word by a guy who knows at most 15 English words, and going "he's clearly just never seen black people before"
That sure is a lot of words to say, "they are racist as hell"
Paul Robeson on his experience meeting Soviet Citizens who had never seen a black man before:
“Here, I am not a Negro but a human being for the first time in my life,” he said. “I walk in full human dignity.”
There was some black news anchor who abruptly quit his job to fight for Ukraine after the invasion. He was some military veteran who apparently had ties to Guantanamo Bay. I wonder what happened to him

Regrettably still alive and telling Julian Assange that he fucked around and found out https://x.com/MalcolmNance/status/1805544612343202287
"welcome to ukraine, you are now part of the untermensch battalion"
common in parts of russia as well
Lmao they took it down
And of course the only archive.org link just goes to a cloudflare captcha page. I hate the Internet.
Thanks.
Also I am petitioning the mods as a non member to add "An official website of the United States Government" as the tagline
Lol, lmao
I can't believe the nazis are racist.
The kind of warning you get when going to defend definitely not a nazi country
I think this warning is for Peace Corps volunteers, not for people volunteering to fight in Ukraine.
Fair, but my point stands
Listen, they're not Nazis.
They just have a lot of Nazi iconography lying around and tattooed on them.
And they use a LOT of slurs for their adversaries, would be compatriots of 'differing' ethnicities, and so on.
It's just part of their Gamer culture, you see.
This how you dissonate your cognition.
Hm maybe ukraine does belong in nato after all
JFYI the exact same thing is true for Russia
