But also, let’s not be pedantic. A nation can be discriminated against, any group of people can be. That’s what they meant by racism. They used it more broadly and that’s ok, I’m sure even you understood what they meant. What term would you use to be more precise?
You need to update your vocabulary comrade. There may be new definitions of the word racism. Remember literally no longer only literally means literally. What a time we live in.
Unfortunately anti-russian racism is acceptable here. When you see a headline like this, just be ready for the comments.
It’s not racism to point out that a surprising number of Putin critics have died from falling from tall buildings.

Do you seriously think Russian is a race?
I agree this isn’t racism against Russians.

Gallows humor about the suspicious deaths of people critical of an oligarchy is not racism.
Unless you are a wilfully credulous root vegetable of a person.
Russia isn’t a race.
It’s a failed state, ruled by a corrupt dictator.
Just like America in a couple months.
What exactly was racist?
And who said it’s funny. I’m confused
