I mean this kinda awful. They’re not their government and they clearly don’t want to be part of the war.
But they are racist and have a “white only” policy in a country that isn’t even theirs. So why should that country host them?
It comes amid a furious social media backlash over Russian-run businesses with a “whites only” policy that strictly bars locals. These businesses include bars, restaurants, water sports and vehicle hiring services.
I understand their response with this. IIRC Indonesia is having the same problems with Ukrainians and Russians staying in Bali to avoid the war. The situation got so problematic the local government added Russian to their warning signs.
Although the Russians are more problematic since their banks got sanctioned and cannot use Visa networks so they’re unable to pull any money from the ATMs and have resorted to taking local jobs and even panhandling there.

Do you think all russian citizens are racist?
I’m convinced this war has been going on long enough that xenophobia against Russians is considered acceptable which is fucking awful
It is awful, but think of culture like software. In fact, think of it like Microsoft software.
time to go home and overthrow the asshole who keeps fucking up their country.
Yeah rightly or wrongly this is how I feel.
Surely the Russian people need to bear some responsibility for their government’s actions.
