Because you can give an easy out like that until the media sails shift a bit more.

This topic is pointless.
Unless a Russian opened his mouth on the street to say something you'd never be able to tell. I don't know anyone who openly dislikes Russia in some form.
I'm not russiaphobic, I love zangief, colossus and heavy, some of my fav video game and comic characters. I just dislike russias current leader, its politics, the way it controls the media treating the rest of the world as if it's stupid and can't figure out what its doing, and right now how it treats its gay citizens as second class people

I have actually pointed this out many times. Everyone is all gung-ho about calling out racism/ bigotry against any culture but when it comes to Russia.......
It seems the very same people that are out there defending any race from bigotry are perfectly fine with bigotry against Russia.
You will see it in this thread. People will come out and insult you with petty insults because you are defending russia.
Here's why: they are so indoctrinated, they just parrott whatever the dems say.
I have watched a Dem senator say something in the news, only to see one hundred posters parrotting it an hour or so later in these forums. They seem to think political debate is just parrotting what a talking head said on some news show. If that talking head tells them to hate Russia, then they will.
If the dems say it is all right to be bigotted against Russia- then they will be.
Not a Trump fan, didn't vote for him, but you seriously have to see the obvious bias and blinders in your statement. The same people who would have given Hillary a pass are the same ones on the witch hunt for Trump currently. Politics is a sport, and most people are only bitter their side lost, not that Hillary and Trump essentially were the same candidate and ultimately would have been the same president. No one looks at policies anymore, just the team logo.

It goes along with the global theory on racism, only white/anglo-saxons can be racist. You can be proud to be any race as long as it isn't white. Overall, it is essentially ignorance that won't be addressed for a long time. Hell the Jewish don't even get a pass and they by far have been treated worse than any other race in history.
you get it wrong most peoples don't hate russians, like it happen with america peoples hate the guy who is in command in the case of america is now trump and previously obama, many upper echelons and some rich families, in case of russia is putin it's cronies and most oligarchs.
No one hate average Ivan or average Joe.
