People usually meet more Arabs and Muslims in everyday life compare to Ukrainians or Russian (I don’t think white people can tell white people apart, but they can certainly assume someone is Arab with 70% accuracy).
It’s harder to say something like “All the Palestinian orcs must be slaughtered like a lamb” when an Arab is staring at you vs. being comfortable to say “all Russian orcs must be slaughtered like a lamb” when there are no Russians or Ukrainians nearby.
It’s harder to get away with comments like that because saying that about Palestinians is waaaay more obviously racist. Because whiteness is such a weird amorphous concept and because Russians are generally considered white (ignoring *cough cough* the ink on the pages of Generalplan Ost and those propaganda posters about Asiatic hordes hasn’t even been dry for 100 years), and because Russians are still sort of “the enemy” because the USSR only fell 30 years ago (you still hear Boomers and Gen X fuckers talking about Russians like they’re the “Other,” if I’m using that concept right; Russians are so X adjective or Y or Z), you mostly get a pass to say horrible things about them. I was wrong when I said drug addicts and the homeless are the last social groups in America who you can be a piece of shit to and still be a part of polite society.
Russians also use Funny Letters and eat Weird Food, but so do Palestinians. Ukrainians use Funny Letters but idk if they eat Weird Food. Israelis also use Funny Letters and eat Weird Food. I’m not sure what the point of this paragraph was supposed to be.
The red scare legacy definitely helped. But a whole lot of the current crop of libs somehow also constantly seem to confuse the USSR for the Russian Republic, hence all the blueanon memes about the GOP being communist, and the pictures of Putin with a hammer and sickle.
My guess is they’re so normie-brained that they don’t know that there still are communists out there, think they’re a joke, and/or have no idea what communism really is.
Reminds me of “history buff” guys who really love Soviet memorabilia and shit, but they’re libs.
