[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would this xenophobia be acceptable if China invaded Taiwan? A lot of WASPs around here seem to relish the opportunity to discriminate against non Aryan looking white people. I guess since it’s not socially acceptable to be bigoted against Blacks, Asians and Hispanics they need a healthy release valve for all their pent up bigotry and are taking it out on Slavs.[/quote]

I think if China threatened to nuke us, people would be a lot more xenophobic towards Chinese people.  It's understandable.[/quote]

Don’t you think we can rise above xenophobia?[/quote]

No.  We recently elected a president whose main campaign promise was to build a border wall.  So, no.[/quote]

Well, you specifically could perhaps rise above it.[/quote]

Unless they're outspoken in their opposition towards Putin, I will always view Russians with suspicion.  That's just how it is now.[/quote]

So how does that work? If you meet a Russian-American, they have to introduce themselves as follows: “Hi, I’m Aleksey and I hate Putin”? And if they don’t, you’re suspicious?[/quote]

If I don't know them, then yes.  And I'm getting suspicious of you, too.  Why do you care?[/quote]

You’re a very suspicious person. I care because I don’t like seeing xenophobia develop.[/quote]

If you're a Trump voter, then you're full of it.[/quote]

You’re just desperate for a gotcha, aren’t you? I’m a lifelong Democrat. It really is possible to just genuinely not want xenophobia.[/quote]

That's noble.  I'm more concerned about an entire city being starved to death by Russia.[/quote]

I’ve got a novel concept for you: it is actually possible to be concerned about BOTH things!

I know. Crazy.[/quote]
