And start worrying about Russian Caucasians. Can you compete and keep up with them intellectually? Because they will eat you for lunch if you cannot. They don't care about PC or globalization or every other feel good program we have going over here. They care about dominating the world and they are gaining at a rate to overtake soon.
I'm fairly confident that there's a larger percentage than .0002% that are racist here in America. Out of a population of 326 million people that would equate to approximately 65 thousand racists in the entire country. Laughable... There are probably more than 65 thousand racists in a state like Texas alone.
There's a group of people that would say anything to prevent a light from being shined on white supremacy. And we all know why...
This doesn't change the message you are trying to convey, but your math is off.

You're not important. Why should American minorities listen to you?
They can freely express concern about anything. You can disagree with their concerns and that is acceptable, but they don't have to censor themselves to avoid offending others.

Check your arithmetic, brother. That's two-in-a-million, or 652 racists in the whole country. And that is ridiculously low, even if you're only talking about white racists. But don't pretend that racism is a white thing.
The entire premise of this thread is a giant non-sequitur. How does the OP go from ranting about white Russians to linking to an article about Putin's comments on AI?
And FWIW, Russia has serious social problems with aging, alcoholism, drug use and all sorts of STDs. The lifespan of an average Russian male is markedly lower than most of the developed world. Russia had virtually no economy outside of oil and a lot of their antics could actually be perceived as a weakness and a leadership who is lamenting their loss of global standing in the world that's continuing in a death spiral.
Yes it would. The only people that don't have a problem with racism are racists...
Yup.
It's a 'topsy turvy' time & space when a person with racial supremacist thoughtviews is considered 'more than' those who'd call them out on it.
White supremacy is deeply rooted in the founding of the United States of America. This, imho, is extremely unfortunate, although to continue to deny, & to continue to not address the facts re:, is even more unfortunate (if that is even possible which again, imho, is).
Just as no person is perfect, blameless, mistake-free, etc., neither is a Nation of people. The best people I know are not perfect human beings however are those who will acknowledge their faults or mistakes. The best people I know will do so even when another person indicates. Let's face it, many mistakes are unintentional ~ the reason why an 'accident' is not defined as being 'purposeful'. Taking responsibility, apologizing for the harms their mistakes may've caused, making amends if possible & to those most harmed, sincerely asking for forgiveness, learning from their own mistakes, learning vicariously through the mistakes of others, being able & willing to earn back the trust of those harmed, etc.
These types of scenarios are complicated enough when they involve only a handful of people, as in, say a family situation. Much more complicated when the peoples of a Nation ~ past, present & future ~ are involved.
White supremacy, & not simply racial supremacy, is deeply rooted here.
Unsure which is worse, that, or that our Nation was deeply divided & could not reconcile the differences made clear.
The origin of 'political correctness' & 'social justice warriors' began after the War although not identified as such. Some on the side that lost deemed it would not be 'politically correct' to admit the mistake of waging a War to defend the right to own people as property. The historical record reveals the falseness of the assertion. While any War is 'complicated', slavery was the 'sine qua non' reason, without the essential component of institutionalized & race-based slavery, without which ~ the War simply does not happen.
'Switching up' the primary (& sine qua non) reason for the irreconcilable difference between the sides, while understandable on a human nature level, originated the 'false justice warrior' narrative & destructive historical revisionist mythologies. The attempt to find honor in losing a War based on a dishonorable cause continued & legitimized the 'cold war' strategies that followed.

The only 'explanation' I have is that the premise is flawed or is mistaken. If one begins with a false premise, everything following, including findings, conclusions reached, possible recommendations made, etc. will also be flawed.
We don't need another War as a recommendation or as a 'solution' whether from within or without.
