    And america has no racism because we had a black president. Your logic sounds pretty but falls apart once you start trying replacement variables.

      Not to justify any bigotry, but the key point here is whether or not it’s systemic, which the UN reported on one of the links I presented. The UN report stated there are prejudices on individual basis, which they do not nor anyone should condone, but there is no Ukrainian state-sponsored discrimination on Russian-speakers.

      You’re just really trying to shoe-horn obvious Kremlin propaganda.

          Right, and there is no state sponsored discrimination of minorities in america. Go ahead and show me a law that explicitly states it.

          We’re not in 1950s American and pretty sure there isn’t one. And since you insist there is one at present and brought it up, you should present it. The burden of proof is on you.

            I’m making the point the racism exists without it being explicitly written out. Theres even minorities who uphold laws that cause racist outcomes.

            Does that mean a black police officer can’t be racist?

              And how many black Americans are calling to secede? How many black Americans do not call themselves Americans and want to join another country? Are there many of them?

              And for the argument sake that there are black Americans who took up arms to secede, by your logic do you believe Russia should intervene in the United States? Should France and UK have intervened on the side of the Confederacy? Should the Republic of Ireland have invaded Northern Ireland despite the Irish Catholics being discriminated? Should the entire Cyprus be invaded by the Turks after already invading the northern part?

              Let me educate you on international law and geopolitics because it is illegal to invade another country unless there is sufficient evidence of wanton violation of basic human rights. That’s why the United Nation General Assembly voted that the Russian invasion of Ukraine is illegal and hardly any-- even China-- is fully on-board with the Russian invasion. There is no evidence of limiting the rights of Russian-speakers and there are many of them fighting for Ukraine. Russia is obviously fomenting dissent in Ukraine. Consider that there are Russian-minorities in the NATO-memeber Baltic states; how come only in Georgia and Ukraine-- both are non-NATO members-- somehow have supposed Russian seccesionists? That should give you a hint; or otherwise you’re being a useful idiot.
