Reply to comment by Heres_your_sign in Belarus' Aryna Sabalenka: Faced 'hate' in locker room over Russian invasion. by PrincessBananas85

Wow, and I thought all those people harassing Arabs after 9/11 were ignorant and racist. Turns out they were just applying "peaceful pressure"!

Don't be deliberately idiotic. The country of Belarus is an active participant in the Ukrainian war.
If we had acted the way we should have after 9/11, Saudi Arabia should have been isolated and ostracized. Targeting all "Arabs" was indeed ignorant and racist.

Just as harassing *all* Russians (or Belarusians) irrespective of their political stance is ignorant and racist. I am glad that many people in the West are better than this.
