[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Clueless Russian, after having invaded, oppressed, suppressed and repeatedly genocided Chechens for the last 250 years:

"Gee, I just don't get why these Chechens are so angry.  They're just bad people, that's all."[/quote]

They are bad to each other, too.

For instance, it wasn't Russians who made Chechens give custody exclusively to fathers in case of divorce, and bar access to mothers.  It wasn't Russians who taught Chechens the blood vendetta.  It wasn't Russians who taught Chechens that women who marry out must be excommunicated or killed.  It wasn't Russians who taught Chechens that a dead son is preferred to a gay son.  That's self taught. [/quote]

Even if it were all true, Russians could have just left them alone.

And Russians can be homophobic too, and plenty of Russian men beat their wives, are alcoholics, gangsters and thugs. At least Chechens don’t drink. The difference is one group wants to impose their way of life and political influence over others. The other just wanted to be left alone.[/quote]

Russians can be homophobic, yes, but a Russian father can simply hate his gay son without feeling the family pressure to kill him, or to punish a misbehaving wife or female relative.  Russians are too numerous to be tribal.[/quote]
