Cannot fathom the selective hatred and racism here. Is everyone racist to every nationality every time their government does something abhorrent? Where is the hatred towards North Korean escapees? Where is the hatred towards the Chinese around the world? I could go on.. do you hate many Africans because their governments kill people for being gay?

Somehow seemingly only Russian people are villified around the world for the actions of the government

Yeah. People just like hating on "evil" nations and she's here as a representative and open for people to start trashing her, so yeehaw here we go. Personally I've actually really liked Russians on an individual level any time I have interacted with them; they're generally kind of cocky / abrasive I guess, but they get shit done.

Also, she's coming across as kind of a bad person which makes it easy to start bashing her. But yeah I mostly agree with you. She didn't war crime anybody that we know of. I mean I'm from America; if we started bashing people for the war crimes their governments were committing I'd have to be at the head of the line.

It's not racist to laugh at the irony.

@ryannathans @LaFinlandia not Hitler and Putin alone are evil, but all people who support them.
Take responsibility!

First off as an American I can assure you I have run into plenty of people who hate Americans for shit our government has done. As for Russians a lot of Russians support Putin so in turn a lot of people assume all Russians support the invasion so in turn most folks will have a bit of disdain for Russians.
