    “Americans do X”

    *America. Look at the title again.

    I gotta be honest, I don’t understand what you’re fighting for here. That people in Finland will have a slightly better opinion of you? Mexico will know you’re one of the good ones?

    Russia has done a lot of disagreeable things, I’ve got to imagine its people are pretty upset about it.

      I’m talking about comments a few levels up the chain talking about overgeneralizations, as well as the very common loose language online where people attribute problems to the people of a nation rather than its leaders.

      I have no issues with Chinese or Russian people, I have issues w/ their respective governments. Yet we get hate crimes against the people that come from a region just because their government did something stupid.

      I’m pushing against his culture.

        But you’re the one doing this. I’m not conflating people with country here. OP isn’t either.

        Are you proposing that racists, when they hear “Russian government” instead of “Russia,” will stop being racist? I don’t really know what to say to that.
