In Ukraine, russians are seen as “polluted & removedd” white people “infected” with asianism, while ukrainians are the pure true slavic cradle interlinked with intellectual europeanness.
Its a 100% racism.
People are racialized regardless of any “logical” reason pertaining to race. Even Black & White is not a binary grounded on real metrics, truly, yes- that it includes things tangtiable visible to the human eyes, is one of the main reasons its easy to maintain, but in the end reality is consensus, and reality is created by the material circumstances of the time.
I guess we should’ve known that if they had to choose between their ineffectual jabs at Trump, or their racism, they would pick racism every time.
ot is the foundation of their “civilization” after all
They already rehabilitated Bush and his regime so they will do it for Trump too.
Liberalism was born during the age of “categorization of nature” its always been the ideology of colonialists.
Can we stop calling prejudice against Russians racism?
It is racism though. Do you really think it’s limited even just to ordinary Russian people in Russia?
It certainly has a racial component rooted in orientalism you got a better word?
Does it? You’re borrowing sentiment from pre19th century conflating easterners with Asiatic hordes and the ‘Judeo-Bolshevism’ being a dogwhistle.
Russia has so many wildly differing ethnicities and races, it’s like saying anti-Americanism is racism
Africa has a zillion ethnicities and people are still racist against Africans.
In Ukraine, russians are seen as “polluted & removedd” white people “infected” with asianism, while ukrainians are the pure true slavic cradle interlinked with intellectual europeanness. Its a 100% racism.
And as soon as Ukraine loses this war, the west will see Ukrainians that way too!
They have so already in the past
Are you willing to concede that it’s still bigotry and if so is the exact flavor/origin significant?
Yes, obviously it’s bigotry
It’s anti-slavic racism. That’s what it is.

They usually call Russians bad by virtue of being “tainted” by Asiatic blood, so I’d say racism still fits.
