    Also I love that they used people of color for the first three countries like they're treated so well.

    Meanwhile there are black people in Russia, Ukraine and other parts of Europe that everyone seems content to ignore.

    Obligatory :poland-cool:

      They aren't ignored. They are very deliberately singled out at the border and prohibited from leaving.

      My childhood friend was a black Russian and he was the coolest mfer I knew. Literally introduced me to the concept of socialism.

        Literally one of the first things to make me go "you know, this socialism/communism thing doesn't sound that bad" in my childhood was learning how black Americans were choosing to visit the USSR for educational/career opportunities and even settling there since the early 30s. This while I was also being taught about the Jim Crow terror regime that the "Land of the Free" permitted.
