That's about all that shit commentary is worth. And that kind of talk, utterly unsupported and unsupportable, is what causes people like me - social liberals who'd otherwise be allies on many issues - to laugh at you hysterical Lefties.

By the way, Russians aren't monolithically "white." Russia is the world's largest country by land mass. They're every color you can imagine. And having that blood coursing through my veins, along with pictures of relatives from that part of the world with very tan and olive colored skin, I can say this with certainty: You are talking out of your ass.*

Were I a shmuck, I'd offer some identity politics here and suggest this thinly veiled hatred for Russians embraced by the Left is quite disturbing. That's what the clearly irony-challenged lot of idiots on the Left wallowing in those behaviors would do were Russians within their category of "Approved Victims."
