    The fucking orcs

    were setting up whites only bars

    This is so confusing, are we for or against racism?

        Russian is an ethnicity. Bigotry against an ethnicity is not different in any meaningful way from bigotry against a race. Referring to it as racism may be technically incorrect but it get the right idea across.

          no one’s asserting ALL russians - Navalney was a hero for example.

          But the country is run by a shitstain of a human being; calling them orcs or chuds is certainly justified by their warcrime actions.

        Race in humans is a fictional construct. Doesn’t exist scientifically.
        So logically, racism can’t exist either.

        Hey, did we just solve racism???

            Racism has always been about inequality and dehumanizing people. It was always a constructed or mythological fixed identity.

            But that’s not funny. That’s just sad.

            It’s not funny like calling them orcs.

            But that comment is 85% upvoted so clearly I’m wrong and that can’t be racism. Hey, maybe I have brain bleeds from long covid. Honestly that would be preferable to this shit. “Russians aren’t really hur hur hur”. Fucking racist morons.

            You must be trolling because Eskimos aren’t imaginary. I use their tax software every year when I go to file my return.
