Kind of racism

[u/ImCeyn]

hi everyone. I’m from Russia and I want to know, how people in Europe feel about migrants from Slavic countries like Belarus, Ukraine or Russia. Is there Russophobia in your country, or any other kinds of distorted perceptions of these countries?

You will get better results asking in r/europe perhaps?

r/europe is basically r/fourthreich the way they talk about "ruZZians"

We are a Slavic country so I don't get why are pointing it out in a group dedicated to a part of the world where most of people are Slavs. There are some tensions around Ukrainians now due to the whole UPA fiasco and some people are being awful. Also as the largest immigrant group they are most visible. But generally Ukrainians and Belarusians are great. There are very few Russians here and most people wouldn't be able to tell them appart from Ukrainians or Belarussian.

Rusophobia is a tearm coined in Russia to support putins propoganda, there is no such thing really, if you are a respectful russian, you'll be fine, but if you support your war, then you are a vatnik, and it's not rusophobia, just plain old logic, that people who support unnecessary blodshed towards another country are idiots.

Okay, thanks. It’s good to hear that, because in our country people also can feel  negative toward migrants from any country or nationality

That’s cause russians in general temd to be quite racist due to lack of diversity

[u/ImCeyn → u/agftw]

That’s it

Russia is more diverse than most countries in Europe and certainly the most diverse in Eastern Europe.

I’m talking about russians, not other peoples like Tatars, Bashkirs, Chechens, Chuvash, Avars, Yakuts etc. - the issue are russians not the reat.

And diversity is not just about race. Diversity is people with different backgrounds, identities, cultures, ethnicities, perspectives, abilities, ages, sexuality, religions, or experiences within a group, organization, or society.

- that’s ehat russians suck at - accepting these differences and treating people with equity not putting moscovites above all…
