With that logic, you can't say ever any critical remark about a group of people (since they can self-identify as ethnicity XYZ and who are you to say otherwise)

With that logic, you can't say ever any critical remark about a group of people (since they can self-identify as ethnicity XYZ and who are you to say otherwise), because it all gets siphoned into 'that's racism' outrage. If anything, it should be labeled 'ethnicism', in fact thats a proper word so lets be factual.
What about, instead of this totalitarian auto-censorship outrages in anonymous online forums, we discuss actual topics? I wasn't bashing russians specifically mind you, rather pointing out that generally nations that got their freedom way too fast then didn't know how to handle such freedom well. Collapse of CCCP created a massive sphere of such countries. As somebody coming form such a nation and lived during such times, I have unfortunately quite a bit of experience in this regard
- medo-bear 4y agoops remark that russians have a brainwashed slave mentality is plain-as-day racist. you saying that its harsh but true is also racist. you saying that being russian is somehow a lifestyle choice also makes it very hard to take you seriously > As somebody coming form such a nation and lived during such times, I have unfortunately quite a bit of experience in this regard rest assured you are not a special snowflake
- 5e92cb50239222b 4y agoI don't "self-identify" as anyone, I have a birth certificate issued by the Kazakh government that plainly identifies me as ethnically Russian. Since the beginning of 2022, that has been enough to receive limitless amounts of vitriol and death threats from people such as yourself.
