No, not at all. Ukrainians don't feel this way, they have their own culture, language, outlooks and customs that differ. If Russians really considered them to be one people, they would never be targeting Ukrainian civilians as they are ... and the Russian public would be more upset about it than they are.

This is just a propaganda statement by Russia. It's like "we're brothers, so your house is my house, right?".

They are, people just don't agree with the data as they believe it's manipulated

omg. in the role that best suits their abilities … u lot read into shit too much.

Many nations involved have broken international agreements signed in the 90s

And said territory was a part of Poland post WW1

In the US it's not European - the overwhelming majority of Hispanic ppl in the US are of Mexican / South American origin

Russia has over 190 ethnic groups, it's a federation not an ethnostate

in their natural role? what 😭

TIAA Bank stadium in Jacksonville maybe

I wonder what they used as the city center for these various cities.

Last time didnt end so well. That was the truly sad part.

Focusing on identity politics won't do much to solve wealth inequality. Wealth inequality is caused by class-based policies. Furthermore, if identity politics becomes the main focus, it alienates much of the public. Class politics has a much larger common interest.

There's a lot of cynicism to be had when countries like South Africa get rid of apartheid but then the country goes ultracapitalist, resulting in extremely high unemployment and inequality.

Also the reason identity politics is discussed more is because the rich tolerate it more. They don't care that much about it because for most of industry it doesn't effect them very much. This is in stark contrast to class politics, most of the scholars that critique class don't get much mainstream media attention.

It's also the reason why mainstream discussion of identity politics is focused more towards things like job equality rather than the seriously egregious examples of racial oppression like the mass incarceration system, which has produced over a million slaves, legally.

It isn’t right, there’s quite a few stadiums that are just in or outside the town/city centres in the UK. Maybe right if you literally mean a few streets off the high street: The vast majority would be within the 5 mile range on this infographic aside from the odd stadium built within the last 10/20 years.

Punishment, for what? For existing? Why does anyone let alone an entire group of people “deserve” to be punished for that?

Thank you! The fact that in the US 'hispanic' and 'white' are two different racial group is absolutely bizarr. 'Hispanic' literally means 'spanish', which is simply European. You can not distinguish an italian from a spanish or a portuguese just by the look. Half of US political topics are about percentage of different races in different statistics. This is insane.

stupid comment. this called people in their natural role. and it works. this ofc doesn’t mean women shouldn’t be ALLOWED to take up those positions if they are good and vice versa. stop crying wolf and focus on more important things

Stop the meaningless slogans and provide examples. And get your mind into the shoes of other people. I am not "American" and I am for sure not right winged. The discussions about race in the US are annoyingly toxic, your society is divided beyond repair. I have no way myself because in my society racism is not as big a problem and the solutions don't require us to constantly reemphasize that there are so an so many others.

You should shut up and instead of constantly reiterating anachronistic facts about your outdated believe system, you should start asking yourself some harder questions. It's apparent that the current attempt has failed!

Sure. And the regions with ethnic minorities have some of the richest natural resources on the planet but the people are poor because the Russian federal government channels all the money into places like Moscow.

So how would you describe displacing entire ethnicities or groups of people just because they belong to a certain ethnicity, forcibly deporting them to different regions with many dying on the way, if not ethnic cleansing? What in my statement was incorrect?

>c groups in the SW parts of Russia, which border other former USSR countries.

That's A Crimea in Russia

> My own stadium (St James Park) in Newcastle is the only U.K. club soccer stadium in the centre of the city

Surely that can't be right? Ipswich Town and Hartlepool are both pretty much smack in the middle of the city at least going off where Google Maps puts that city centre.

Not to mention all the clubs in London that represent different suburbs.

No. Different language, different culture, different history. For example, west Ukrainians became part of Russia only at the end of WW2.

Define "normal"

What's ignorant in your statement is your statement.

Funny thing about that banishment. Everybody mentions that but nobody remember the reasons. The "deportation" is the most humane punishment they deserved.

If you don't learn the history you're doomed to repear it.
