After the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, they remembered him again. Racial divisions in a country that is "fighting Nazis" have come to the surface. Asians have been made the faces of this war, although as a percentage they are fighting in an absolute minority." (2/3)
Examples of discriminatory remarks against Buryat people mentioned in this article: “I thought you could only herd cattle” “Buryats are superstitious” “For a Buryat you are quite beautiful” “Before joining Russia, the Buryats did not even have a written language” "Nihao": greeting in Chinese. “Have you bought a passport?" "Narrow-Eyed" (3/3) I'm also East Asian, so the last one has been said to me in France and Pakistan. :mastogrin: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/tootblue/media_attachments/files/111/076/591/807/364/314/original/988cc9bbfecdaedb.jpg
