“I’m fine with Asians, but Russians are Asians. They have a completely different culture, vision. Our key difference from them is humanity.”

        btw I just want you to know that even your supposed different translation is insane,

        More Asian than Ukrainians …

        … He’s saying Russians are more violent based on where they come from and the past they’ve had

        Wtf does being “more Asian” mean? This is in the same vein as the nazi “asiatic hordes” bullshit

          I really don’t know where he was going with it. I admit it was probably poorly worded but it definitely wasn’t what you guys are trying to paint it as. I can speculate-as I’ve already done.

            I know where he’s going with it, he’s dehumanizing them, there’s no other reason to paint them as “more Asian” it’s literally a fucking Nazi dog whistle that Russians are barbaric Asians

                The only people on Earth that care about the “”“important”“” question of whether Russians are or are not white European are Nazis.
