I actually support all these people moving to Russia. It might be somewhat Darwinian but solves a bunch of issues.

She went to ruzzia……to [checks notes] escape racism? This is like moving to the Marianas Trench to escape water.
In a video uploaded in March, Mr Huffman explained his decision to relocate, and was particularly scathing of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives in the US.
"As a white family, [we were] being told we're racist and not given the same opportunities because of the colour of our skin," he said.
As someone who has been white and living in the U.S. his whole life, I've never had someone suggest I'm racist based on the color of my skin, at least not to my face (I can't say what folks say behind my back).
I wonder if the Huffmans were being accused of racism because of their racism rather than merely because of the color of their skin.
They might be right regarding not having the same opportunities, because based on what I've heard others have gone through, it's clear to me that I've had it much better than the average minority.

Even Warren Buffett has pointed this out, when asked why he managed to be so wealthy, he said (paraphrasing) there was a lot of luck at the start, being born in The US, being white and being a man that made it easer then for lots of others.
I think it was also pointed out by Michael Oppenheimer that he was not at all concered with studying Einstein's brain but really concerd the next one was slaving away in some field somewhere in a developing nation, with zero opportunity.
B-but the tankies say that Russia and China are paradises for minorities! They wouldn't lie, right?
Right! I mean to themselves and also each other sure, but never to you, princess 💋:-)
Moving to Russia to escape racism is really the biggest self-own ever.
There's a reason the drink black Russian is funny
Just ask for a virgin black Russian to a waiter and look at the barman meltdown in the middle of his shift laughing to that poor unfortunate soul.
Rolled a 1 on that perception check
Russia: we don't like brown immigrants
Black woman: Let's go to Russia
At least North America's IQ increased a bit.
They had this same problem in the Soviet era, when part of the propaganda was about racist Americans were (true) and how good Marxists aren't (true, but what's that got to do with the average Russian?)
Long story short the African immigrants/students had a hell of a time even when the Soviet state was trying to turn them into a propaganda tool.

Tbf to the Soviets, even the article mentions that they DID try to keep a lid on things, and racial violence exploded after the collapse.
Honestly, the best thing Tucker Carlson ever did was convince some dumbasses to move to Russia.
But they do have shopping carts like Aldi.
Sadly, I don't think many actually did. I remember the article about the giy being drafted and it said they moved based off another group recruiting people and they were only like 1 family of 2 or 3 to do so and it was a complete failure. I wish they all left.
What Russian men look for to know if you're one of them
Took my pre-coffee brain far too long to get the joke!
