    “Russian” is not a race.

    That’s true but nowadays the word “racism” is used as a full synonym to “discrimination”.

    Maybe, just maybe, the reason why everyone is having issues with Russia is Russia’s own damn fault.

    A person who thinks that the terms “Russia” and “a Russian citizen” are the same is hopeless and must be eliminated at all costs.

      No, let’s not degrade language like that.

      And “eliminated at all costs”? Sounds exactly the kind of thinking that leads to getting shut out and cut ties. Good riddance.

      It’s ok to discriminate against a nation for waging war. Should be done to any nation. Including Israel, etc.

        I get it and do it myself against the USA. But there are always people in these countries who disagree. That’s why blind discrimination is bad and cannot be good by definition.
