[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a Chechen American family who lives in the area. Great, upstanding people. US citizens and as American as anyone. One kid serving in the military. And registered Democrats which surprised me because I would assume they would be conservative, but one of the kids is even what you would call “woke.” I know another Chechen family who are doctors, business owners, real estate agents. There is nothing in the DNA of Chechens or anyone else that says they can’t be good people and contributing members of society. It’s about having and creating a society worth contributing to, and I don’t think the Russian government has provided that.

Some of you are shamefully bigoted, it’s astonishing. [/quote]

No one said they can't be good people but people who grew up in Chechnya understand the Chechens better than you.[/quote]

So you agree, nurture vs nature? Maybe people regardless of race, ethnicity, or religion… who are welcomed as refugees and immigrants by choice to a place with opportunity like the United States succeed better than people who, I don’t know, grew up with Russians bombing their schools and opening fire on their neighbors? And then forced back into the country that doesn’t even like them? [/quote]

Russia to Chechens: "The beatings will continue until morale improves."[/quote]
