“I’m fine with Asians, but Russians are Asians. They have a completely different culture, vision. Our key difference from them is humanity.”

      It might be considered racist a bit. I don’t know because I don’t have the full video so not sure where he was headed with it. As I mentioned it seemed like he was setting up to compare how Russian military is treating people less humanely than the ukrainian military.

      What he’s definite NOT saying is Asians are subhuman and Russians are Asians and therefore also subhuman.

      It’s kind of why I said my initial comment- “oh russophobia isn’t real” is a propaganda technique to try to spread the thoughts that people just hate Russians for Russians sake- when if I take an equally touted stance of all Ukrainians are nazis as being equally ridiculous.
