Obviously, not everyone is like this, if you’re not like this, I don’t mean you.

You can hate the Russian government or the culture or whatever, but you shouldn’t hate people. You shouldn’t hate people of Russian descent just because of where they came from, because of the language they speak, because of what the russian government is doing.

    I’m guessing you’re in Europe? On this side of the pond everyone white is descended from someone somewhere else, so in my experience it never really matters.

    Who the fuck hates people for their ancestry? I mean seriously that’s one of the fucking dumbest things any human could do!

    It always seems to come back to people judging folks for their demographics rather than their behaviour, the things they advocate, and the impact they have on the people and world around them

    Judging people for their demographic is dumb.

      One time I got banned from a site for speaking Russian. It wasn’t because he didn’t understand me, it was the language I was speaking.

    I gotta say that anecdotally I’ve heard how awesome and accepting and loving the people living under totalitarian governments are except for Russian people.

    So I honestly apologize, it’s just been reinforced by my media consumption and lack of travel to learn and mingle.
