minus-squarePrunebutt@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·3 months agoYeah, all of a sudden, russians are “caucasian”. It’s very convenient to hide racism behind “that’s not a race, though”. /s People used to be racist against italians, baltic people and the irish. Don’t tell me that a russian person is ok, because they’re “white”.
