When the war between Russia and Ukraine first started in 2022 I was seeing reports of the Ukrainians trying to force Africans on student visas to stay in the country and fight. That’s when I decided that I don’t gaf about Ukraine.
I remember seeing similar reports, in other news-sources, at the time, BAD racism & prejudice…
These aren’t the only evidences that people have seen.
Poland was also apparently very-bad for anti-Black racism, in the news, of that time…
( not pretending that North America’s somehow clean or just or right, just … except for the Deep South, in the US, North America’s less aggressive that what was being-made-visible in East Europe, then…
Nothing’s going to make racism NOT self-perpetuate, except for “combined arms” dismantling it…
that’s always been true.
Northern Ireland, Palestine, Rwanda, multiple angles in Asia, Indigenous people, all kinds of “racisms”, all the same ideology/identity root
& the same dismantling-through-shared-great-value-work being the only possible dismantling of it… )

Cool story, still bullshit
Cool story huh? Not hard to find the evidence. Here is some for you:
Here is one report of the difficulties non white students had leaving.
More reports.
Here is a report of someone from the Congo being told to fight for Ukraine.
Still bullshit?
