    Is it still “Russophobia” when Russia really is the problem?

      Truly Finland’s #1 problem, illegal aliens from Kazakhstan!

      Or you’re racist shithead and it doesn’t matter what Russia or anyone actually does. Your politics is merely a set of vibes-based trivia that appeal to your prejudices.

      It’s still racism to talk about illegal immigrants. It’s Russophobic to blame Russia for being racist.

        I’d probably word this as “it’s racism to make a boogeyman out of illegal immigrants” or something. Obviously just referring to them as a group is analytically helpful in a number of situations
