I exist and I am a citizen, I can take my photo with a passport in hand. Pfft.
> most of the liberals were relatively privileged folk who looked down on the idiocy of the countryside, who made up the heartland of Russia (sound familiar?)
Are you referring to Hillary's campaign here?
As for the rest of your comment, nowhere you have got close to describing any actual xenophobia, much less show anything unique to Russians.
- dang 9y agoOk, but you're crossing into ideological flamewar in this thread, which is against the HN guidelines. Would you please not do this? https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html Edit: I was too quick here, as explained below.
- thriftwy 9y agoI don't think there's ideology in rejecting to be called names. "You are all Russian xenophobes" is precisely that. It's amazing what one gets away with.
