    Russian is an ethnicity. Bigotry against an ethnicity is not different in any meaningful way from bigotry against a race. Referring to it as racism may be technically incorrect but it get the right idea across.

      no one’s asserting ALL russians - Navalney was a hero for example.

      But the country is run by a shitstain of a human being; calling them orcs or chuds is certainly justified by their warcrime actions.
