The fucking orcs were setting up whites only bars. Good for Sri Lanka for kicking them out.
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???
Race is a fiction that created a reality called racism.
God loves a trier, though.
Just because angels, gods, gremlins and Eskimos are imaginary doesn’t mean that people can’t be afraid of them.
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.
Not with that shit logic, no.
The Russians certainly consider themselves a race.
…no? I’ve never heard anyone claim that
Slavs. Otherwise known as ethnic Russians.
Otherwise known for squatting.
Not all slavs are Russian. And most other slavs don’t like Russians either.

Against.
The tolerance paradox isn’t a thing.
Seriously? “Thanks for letting us escape to your country, now stay the fuck out of our bar.” Major dick move.
The fucking orcs were setting up whites only bars. Good for Sri Lanka for kicking them out.
This comment sound as much racist as the people you are referring to, i hope you realize that you are just like them
It sounds like the “orcs” this person was referring broke the tolerance contract first, by setting up white only bars. I see no problem here at all. Bigots aren’t deserving of any sort of civility.
So if a gang of African American people broke into my house and called me a cracker, does that grant me the right to call them by a derogatory name?
In what way is that racist?
I was going to say that I preferred them to stay in Sri Lanka, at least they would not become more soldiers for Putin… But moving there and then creating “whites only bars” 🤦, yeah, Sri Lanka is right in kicking them.
Because they are all the same? That’s a stupid fucking take right there.
Funny how everyone picked up on and quotes the single instance news story. Like litter boxes in school bathrooms, left-leaning edition. Let the hate flow through you
These down votes sure seem like people unable to face their own hypocrisy.
Eh, sometimes you got to break a few eggs to stop a war.
This gives them more troops.
Or more opposition to finally have a revolution that ends the war.
They ran, not because they wanted to fight on either side.

It was one party, since cancelled. How do you think you’re justified in what you’re saying?
I visited Sri Lanka a few months ago, I remember visiting Hikkaduwa (a beach town in the south-west) and there were tons of Russian tourists there. All the local businesses had signs in Russran, and some hotels rooms even had Russian flags hanging from the balconies.
I remeber talking to a Belarussian woman who has escaped Belarus when the war on Ukraine started because she was a political dissident and it was dangerous for her to stay. She’s been working there as a waitress ever since she arrived.
How did she feel about serving Russian tourists? I mean, not every Russian is pro Putin, let alone pro war. But if you feel the need to hang a freaking flag other than the one of the opposition from your hotel’s balcony you probably belong to the ribbon wearing scum.
She described being enraged by them and wanting to strangle them, but then she takes a deep breath and reminds herself that that kind of violent impulse is what wrought this war in the first place, so she tries to avoid that type of thinking
I mean this kinda awful. They’re not their government and they clearly don’t want to be part of the war.
I mean this kinda awful. They’re not their government and they clearly don’t want to be part of the war.
But they are racist and have a “white only” policy in a country that isn’t even theirs. So why should that country host them?
It comes amid a furious social media backlash over Russian-run businesses with a “whites only” policy that strictly bars locals. These businesses include bars, restaurants, water sports and vehicle hiring services.
time to go home and overthrow the asshole who keeps fucking up their country.
Yeah rightly or wrongly this is how I feel.
Surely the Russian people need to bear some responsibility for their government’s actions.
I understand their response with this. IIRC Indonesia is having the same problems with Ukrainians and Russians staying in Bali to avoid the war. The situation got so problematic the local government added Russian to their warning signs.
Although the Russians are more problematic since their banks got sanctioned and cannot use Visa networks so they’re unable to pull any money from the ATMs and have resorted to taking local jobs and even panhandling there.

Hope they do the same in Seychelles. That’s where they’re going too.

For all the same arguments listed here.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Sri Lanka has told hundreds of thousands of Russians and some Ukrainians staying in the country to escape the war that they must leave in the next two weeks, immigration officers said.
The immigration controller issued a notice to the tourism ministry asking Russian and Ukrainian people staying on extended tourist visas to leave Sri Lanka within two weeks from 23 February.
The president’s office said that the notice had been issued without prior cabinet approval and the government had not officially decided to revoke the visa extensions, reported the Sri Lankan newspaper Daily Mirror.
However, concerns have been raised over thousands of Russians and a smaller number of Ukrainians staying in the country for an extended period of time and even setting up their own restaurants and nightclubs.
Tourism minister Harin Fernando told Daily Mirror that the ministry has been receiving complaints of some Russian tourists running unregistered and illegal businesses in the southern part of the country.
In a bid to boost tourism and recover from its worst economic crisis since 2022, Sri Lanka began granting 30-days visas on arrival and extensions for up to six months.
The original article contains 358 words, the summary contains 189 words. Saved 47%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
After all Sri Lanka does have previous experience with committing genocide and getting away with it.
War crimes in a civil war and immigration issues involving Russian tourists. They seem a tad bit unrelated :P
Yeah I understand. I got upset with few comments that were praising Sri Lanka. I just wanted to remind people that Sri Lanka has its skeletons too. Hidden away in mass graves.
