    Racism in Russia

    Putin said in a speech that Russia is out of control because of the amount of violent crime in particular against blacks. Racism is a global problem but the amount of violent crime is out of control http://current.com/watch/17692558 Every country has its problems and Britain has a problem with a yob culture. Generally Russians are great and so is Russia

    The UK doesn't have a great history with racism either, for example the white-power skinheads... Many countries still struggle with it, but they have to eventually get over it...

    It's obviously an ironic question. What's with the "Why ... not let foreigners take over the country peacefully"?

    Иронически-печальный вопрос.

    Guys, this is a sarcastic joke. Read the second part of it.

    Edit: actually, I think it's quite serious.

    Actually, автор темы changed it. He said: "why doesn't Russia let foreigners take over it peacefully like in the UK?" hence why I figured it's a joke (a serious one, probably..)

    I've generally heard that Russians who are racist typically are racist against those who aren't Russian and don't have the physical features to pass off as a Russian.

    Are they less racist against Middle Easterners, since there is a sizable Muslim population (the Turkic peoples and Chechens) in Russia? Whereas there aren't as many Africans, so black people would stand out.

    On some US TV they showed a few years ago a report about american racists, "white power" or so. One of the leaders of these idiots said that Russia will become the refugium of the "white race" because Russia is the only country in the world with a "sound resistance" against "niggers". He referrred to the people of Russia. Some of them are even taking Russian lessons to be "prepared" for the exodus when the "niggers" and the jews and ... you name it ... took over power in the US.

    As a friend of Russia that made me sad - if it is true.

    Russian teenagers are less rasist and more prone to xenophobia based on the intolerance complex. Coutry people hate city-dwellers, Moscowers dislike non-Moscowers and so on.

    Конечно, мы расисты. Ведь у нас, если белокожий человек хочет сделать пародию на темнокожего певца, он намажет свою кожу чем-нибудь темным. Вопиющий расизм.
    Хотя, по-моему, расизм в другом - например, видеть в темной коже или в слове "негр" что-то неприличное.

    На мой взгляд, проблема не в слове "негр", а в таких словах, как "черножопый" и "пиздоглазый" :S

    Я говорила не про русское слово "негр". Это в Америке слово "негр" (negro? ni§§er?) неприличное. И это туристы из Америки пришли в шок, увидев, как во Мхате студенты намазали лицо черным гримом, и посчитали это расизмом. Вот это и есть высшая форма ханжества.

    Вопрос о расе в Америке погряз в политике. Практически никто не может серьезно обсуждать эту тему потому, что политические цели бьют козырем все остальное. Политика и ханжество - близкие друзья.
