Russian is not a race, but if it makes you uncomfortable, replace with whatever nationality you like.

  "Nationalistic" maybe? Antisemitism is often referred to as "racism" and the specific domain of the word "Russian" is varied from person to person, so thanks for nitpick I guess? In any case, I was referring to that specific "evil ${ethnicity/nationality/culture}" trope, tracing back to the day when Belarus and Ukraine had also been referred to as "Russians". So, maybe not technically "racism", but I lack a better word. > replace with whatever nationality you like. It has a ring of "evil Jews" to it. That's the replacement placeholder I use as a benchmark of whether something is appropriate to say out-loud.
