I'm of two minds about this. On one hand, when white people flee violence it's
White Flight, which means they are racist.
On the other hand, the people they are fleeing are white, and segregation to avoid whites is
Creating Safe Spaces.
I'm siding with Russia for a couple of reasons:
While the typical Ukrainian and the Typical Russian have the same amount of freckles, Russia has more non-whites and Muslims in it than Ukraine does, especially since Putin annexed Crimea: clearly he read
your proposal to make immigration more efficient by moving borders instead of people.
Putin
reverses white flight by forcing Ukrainians to live in Russia's Eskimo hinderlands.
Russian Chechnya even has Sharia Law. And
Putin's entire mindset is pure identity politics:
...a champion of some historically victimized community that has been stripped of its dignity and lands...redrawing maps in a way that corrects imaginary injustices
[America] “....essentially racist and neocolonial....it took its positions by robbing other peoples: in Asia, and in Africa,” Putin said Wednesday. “Indeed, it was like that. Look at how India has been plundered.”
Trigger Warning: the text you have just read may have caused: flashbacks to historical oppression, normalization of whiteness, hegemonic hyper-masculinity (if I must say so myself), assumption of genders, species, and/or status as a living being, other problematic sins which are yet to be discovered and outlawed but I should still be (eventually) punished for.
