    Russians are once again not white I guess lmao, the amount of literal race science being thrown around Twitter to explain why Russians are uniquely savage and bloodthirsty is bonkers

      angloids have some strange views on race. I remember being surprised when I learned that americans don't think that white latinos are white

        I mean Nazi Germany race purity laws were directly modeled on US Jim crow laws, except that the Nazis realized they were too strict and dialed it down a notch

      Not surprising. After WW1 English and American race “scientists” switched the Germans from whatever pure white they used to classify them as to “Huns.” Racism is like their go-to copium.
