Well, yeah, what I meant is that "separate but equal" and a few other variants are really, sincerely, existent here. Which is why people in Russia of the village bum kind sometimes like Confederates, but if they'd meet a white person from the US really thinking shit of descendants of people their ancestors had enslaved, and thinking they are worse, there'd be livid fury. But it's overall different, even neo-Nazis here are usually about hostility to people of some groups, and about "purity of race" and "it's our land, let them go back to ", but the "some being better than others" and the "right to enslave and treat badly" things look completely wild from here even for many neo-Nazis.

So - what happens if you say publicly to a crowd of "old white dudes", preferably of the middle-upper social layer, that white people are absolutely just as good as black people?
