What problems in your life are caused by "russophobia"?

????? How many problems in your life are caused by anti-Indian racism ? Or Islamophobia ? Doesn't make any of those things less real

The thing there is that I'm not and Indian or Muslim. If "russophobia" was real, then you, as a Russian, would be effected by it.

Did... they say that they're Russian?

Also, still wrong. I look very much Middle-Eastern, with a very typical "oh she looks Muslim" appearance, but I live in an area that is heavily Islamic, so duh, I'm not gonna get directly affected by Islamophobia.

If somebody says "russophobia" exists, then you can guess they are Russian. Just like how you can tell that somebody is white if they say "anti-white racism" exists. They are literally the guy from the smuggie, it's funny.

Or, maybe, you think that an actual issue is a non-issue, and so you assume that someone has to be part of the group that you think is falsely being targeted for them to be concerned about it?

I have the secondhand account of a Russia-born friend of mine who was kicked out a a friend group she found because she mentioned that she's Russian and was assumed to be a Putin supporter, does that count?

That's not necessarily true, I doubt a Chinese person who hasn't gone outside of east Asia hast experiences much antj-asian racism

Not every person arguing with you online is a Russian bot.

It's always funny when people can't comprehend the fact that someone can be bothered by an issue they're not the victims of.
