    This tweet was cottage cheese when it was posted.

    Russians have a slur specifically for Ukrainians. They couldn’t even tell half of the countries in Europe. But they’ll go out of their way to go after Ukraine.

          Actually the first time I heard that. Then again, I live in Germany and haven’t been exposed to cursing too much. Damn.

            I’m German of Russian descent and I’ve been hearing this slur since I was a child, but I only understood the meaning once the Russians invaded. It’s very commonly used among Russians, unfortunately. Fuck em.
