      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.

      The Russians certainly consider themselves a race.

          Slavs. Otherwise known as ethnic Russians.

          Otherwise known for squatting.

            Not all slavs are Russian. And most other slavs don’t like Russians either.

      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.

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

          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.
