fuck russians.

this is racism and bigotry

"Russian" is not an ethnicity to claim racism against.

Hostility toward someone nationality is racism to me. If it's not it sill equally bad.

That's not how words work. Ordinary Russians don't deserve blanket animosity or praise, yes. However, one can claim disliking Russians wholesale is bigotry, not racism. Words have definitions even if you pretend they don't so you can virtue signal on the internet.
