       Feel free to add examples as you come across them!
       Observe how our enemies are trying to portray veganism as
       nothing more than attention-seeking:
       gatesofvienna.net/2019/10/the-new-sorrows-of-young-snowflakes/
       [quote]Biology wasn’t the only dangerous class for us. One of
       the most important studies was geography. Before that, we led a
       dull existence, and ate what tasted good. Then, in geography, we
       saw a film about the meat industry and my little snowflakes
       realized that even the gelatin in gummy bears did not grow on
       trees, but came from sweet little piggies. At a stroke, all of
       them were vegetarians. And it is not enough to just be a
       vegetarian, you have to live it. To the shock of how cute
       cutlets were when alive came a second, more important one — that
       almost no one was a vegetarian at the time.
       The situation was brilliant for my classmates. They were special
       again with their new insight and could set themselves off from
       the masses, see themselves as better, more enlightened. What I
       find comforting is that, of those where prepared to go under the
       axe with every dead piglet, hardly any of them today will give
       up her schnitzel. Not eating meat has become quite normal, and
       nobody wants to be that conformist. The little bit of attention
       is not enough reward for the sacrifice. So, either go right to
       being vegan, or forget food altogether, and declare yourself a
       non-binary, pansexual, rainbow person.[/quote]
       Two can play at psychoanalysis. I suspect that rightists' real
       reason for wanting to prevent veganism from becoming mainstream
       is because once consumption of animal products is established as
       unethical, the world will start looking at which civilization
       introduced industrial-scale meat/egg/dairy factories as well as
       which countries consume the most animal products per capita to
       this day, whereupon Western civilization will look far worse
       than it even already does! In other words, they would rather the
       world be kept ethically blind to violence against animals (which
       would then continue indefinitely into the future) for the sake
       of not having to face up to the fact that it was Western
       civilization which is responsible for most of the same violence
       in the past.
       (The same concern - not wanting to make Western civilization
       look bad - also explains rightists reflexively refusing to
       believe in global warming.)

       [quote]Why the Increasing Frequency of Scare Quotes Around
       "White" People?[/quote]
       Because I bothered to start the trend off many years ago, and
       other leftists joined as they saw its meaning.
       [quote]From the New York Times opinion section:
       How Italians Became ‘White’
       By Brent Staples
       Mr. Staples is a member of the editorial board.
       OCT. 12, 2019
       ...
       I first noticed this trend with Ta-Nehisi Coates’ hilarious
       bestseller in 2015, where blacks are “black bodies” and whites
       are “people who think that they are white.”
       In other words, I guess, TNC wants to imply that blacks are
       authentically black, but whites all have a touch of the tar
       brush.[/quote]
       You guess wrongly. TNC is implying that it was "whites" who
       invented both the "black" and the "white" identities to serve
       "white" interests. "Blacks" are "black bodies" because they had
       "black" identity imposed upon them without their own consent,
       indeed without even being consulted about it beforehand.
       "Whites" are "people who think that they are white" because all
       it takes to discontinue this mess is for individuals who are
       taught that they are "white" to refuse to see themselves as such
       (whereupon they will simultaneously also cease to see people
       classified "black" as such).
       [quote]This just seems childish and moronic, but it appears a
       lot of people are getting into this kind of thinking now. After
       all, race is just a social construct, so we get to say whatever
       we feel, so we just spew random insults at whites, such as
       implying that they suck because they are part black. Which,
       logically, is self-defeating, but TNC didn’t get his Genius
       Grant for being logical, now did he?[/quote]
       No, you suck because you willingly think you are "white", a
       colonial-era concept. Your pre-Renaissance ancestors (who by
       definition share your ancestry) were somehow able to live their
       lives fine without thinking of themselves as "white", therefore
       they do not suck (even though they share your ancestry), unlike
       you who do suck because of your colonialist attitude.
       en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_people#Modern_racial_hierarchies
       [quote]The term "white race" or "white people" entered the major
       European languages in the later 17th century, originating with
       the racialization of slavery at the time, in the context of the
       Atlantic slave trade[11] and the enslavement of indigenous
       peoples in the Spanish Empire.[12][/quote]
       As I have said before, anyone who calls themselves "white"
       (without quotation marks) is basically saying: "I wish the
       colonial era never ended."
       (You also suck because you obliviously call yourself "white"
       (without quotation marks) while not being remotely white in
       complexion. This is you (Steve Sailer):
       [img]
  HTML https://pumpkinperson.files.wordpress.com/2017/02/sailer.png?w=529[/img]
       The colour of your shirt collar is white. The colour of your
       skin is more similar to the colour of your necktie.)
       JAM once wrote extensively on the same topic (quote from email):
       [quote]"White" is a club. Sometimes you're in and sometimes
       you're out. The Irish weren't members of the "White Club" for a
       long time. They were just pale-skinned niggers. The racial slur
       "Mick" means "a pale-skinned nigger from Ireland who doesn't
       know how to act civilized." Irish were actually called "green
       niggers" by members of the White Club. The Italians were nothing
       but a bunch of niggers too. That's what the racial slur "wop"
       means; it means "a pale-skinned nigger with a spaghetti dick."
       Slowly but surely the Irish, Italians and other pale-skinned
       niggers got their "White Club Membership Card" and since it's
       privileges come from the Jew—and since they don't want to let go
       of all those privileges—they won't ever destroy Jewish
       Supremacy. Whites might lose their house nigger status if they
       did that. Perhaps Blacks, Chinese, East Indians or some other
       "non-whites" would eventually become the dominant superpower in
       the world, and "whites" can't allow that to happen. It's better
       for "whites" to let the Jews help them oppress other peoples, so
       long as the whites aren't being as oppressed as the non-whites.
       ...
       To be "white" in the first place requires a suspension of
       objective reality; you have to willingly deceive yourself to
       accept the membership card for the "White Club." You have to
       look in the mirror and see a complexion that is nowhere near
       "white" and say, "I'm white," and it is at that point that
       you're ready to believe anything else no matter how absurd. No
       human being is colored white, nor even comes close to the color
       white.
       ...
       Understand this: a "white" person (which has no objective
       existence) would rather be called "white" than called by the
       name of his genetic origin, if the latter excludes his right to
       show his "White Club Membership Card." In other words, a "white"
       would rather give up being Italian or Irish or German, so long
       as he can still be white. Don't believe me?
       What do you think a lot of these "whites" were doing before they
       got official "White Club" membership status?
       "I'm not Irish, I'm white." "I'm not Italian, I'm white."
       Polish? Everybody knows Polish people are dumb as a sack of
       bricks, right?
       "Polish? Hell no, I'm white!"
       Of course, some Polish elders don't consider themselves "white"
       to this day, and will take offense at being called "white," as
       they consider whites to be nothing but savages, but most of the
       Polish youths are card carrying members of the "White Club."
       ...
       How many Germans do you see standing up to tell people that the
       Holocaust is a lie? Germans would rather just be quietly
       "white." Any German that doesn't proudly defend the truth of
       what happened during World War II is a card carrying member of
       the "White Club," and today, most Germans are "white." Despite
       what thick-headed White Nationalists would have people believe,
       the "Whites" were the enemies of Nazi Germany, thus any German
       that gets in bed with the "whites" is joining a club of Jews and
       Anglos (Hitler's enemies). These facts are outlined in the book
       Warwolves of the Iron Cross: The Union Jackal by Veronica Clark,
       which shows that the Germans really despised the British (head
       house nigger of the Jew) perhaps more than the Jew itself. How
       sad that Germans today want to be "white" instead of Germans.
       ...
       They want to be part of the winning team, rather than the team
       that lost. . .and might lose again.
       A "white" is always a winner, even when he is a loser. But
       sometimes a German is a winner and sometimes a German is a
       loser—but he is always a German. Most would rather be "white."
       It's safe and it's easy, and it even rolls off the tongue better
       because it's only one syllable.
       ...
       You have to say: Regardless of whether I win or lose, or people
       think I'm right or wrong, I don't want any of the benefits
       you're offering.[/quote]

       More Sailer idiocy; in arguing against Ball, he becomes an
       instant example of the exact logical deficiency among ethnic
       stereotypers that Ball (italicized) is trying to point out (my
       bold):
       vdare.com/posts/philip-ball-in-the-guardian-i-read-angela-saini-
       s-superior-and-the-scales-fell-from-my-eyes
       [quote]But genetics has found no such innate origins of
       behavioural differences between “races” – and it is highly
       unlikely, given what we know about genetic variation, that it
       would.
       Uh, no …
       For example, people from Asia are much more likely to be
       lactose-intolerant than people of European heritage. But what
       our brains find so hard to process is that no one is
       lactose-intolerant because they are Chinese.
       The Chinese adult is lactose-intolerant because he had Chinese
       parents who were lactose-intolerant. Even if he were adopted and
       raised in milk-drinking obsessed Denmark, he would still be
       lactose-intolerant because of who his parents were and the genes
       they gave him.[/quote]
       No, the Chinese adult is lactose-intolerant because he had
       parents who were lactose-intolerant.
       A Danish adult with lactose-intolerant parents would also be
       lactose-intolerant, and despite being raised in
       milk-drinking-obsessed Denmark would similarly remain
       lactose-intolerant because of the genes his parents gave him.
       In other words, ethnicity is irrelevant, just as Ball asserted.
       And Sailer's is a specimen brain that finds it so hard to
       process that no one is lactose-intolerant because they are
       Chinese, just as Ball asserted.

       Our enemies show they cannot even distinguish between racism and
       anti-racism:
       vdare.com/articles/this-day-in-vdare-com-history-why-do-only-whi
       tes-lose-jobs-over-racial-remarks
       [quote]A question I've never seen discussed is why only whites
       seem to suffer the consequences of inappropriate racial remarks.
       If whites had a monopoly on racist speech, perhaps it would be
       understandable. But well-known blacks routinely make racist
       remarks about whites and others. None, to my knowledge, have
       been fired or faced anything more than mild criticism.
       Consider the following:
       Ice Cube was a black "gangsta rapper" in the late 1990s who
       routinely advocated racist violence against non-blacks. One of
       his albums, titled "Death Certificate," contained this rap about
       Asian store owners:
       "So don't follow me up and down your market
       Or your little chop suey ass will be a target
       So pay your respects to the black fist
       Or we'll burn your store right down to a crisp."
       Today, Ice Cube is an actor who makes millions playing the
       fun-loving father with a heart of gold in family movies like Are
       We There Yet and the sequel, Are We Done Yet.[/quote]
       Yes, because the lyrics are not racist speech, but anti-racist
       speech. Let me translate:
       [quote]"So don't follow me up and down your market[/quote]
       Ice Cube is telling the store owner not to ethnically profile
       "black" customers. In other words, it is a condmenation of the
       store owner's racist behaviour.
       [quote]Or your little chop suey ass will be a target[/quote]
       Who invented the "chop suey" stereotype? Answer: "whites"*. Ice
       Cube is reminding the store owner that "whites" stereotype
       "Asians" just like the store owner is stereotyping "blacks", so
       knowing how it feels to be on the receiving end of ethnic
       sterotyping, the store owner has no excuse for dishing it out.
       Ice Cube is basically citing the Golden Rule.
       (* More specifically, Jews:
  HTML https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPwiqmv6Xeo
       [quote]Flower Drum Song was the eighth musical by the team of
       Rodgers and Hammerstein.[/quote]
       en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Rodgers
       [quote]Born into a prosperous German Jewish family in Arverne,
       Queens, New York City, Rodgers was the son of Mamie (Levy) and
       Dr. William Abrahams Rodgers, a prominent physician who had
       changed the family name from Rogazinsky.[/quote]
       en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_Hammerstein_II
       [quote]Oscar Greeley Clendenning Hammerstein II was born in New
       York City, the son of Alice Hammerstein (née Nimmo) and
       theatrical manager William Hammerstein.[2] His grandfather was
       the German theatre impresario Oscar Hammerstein I. His father
       was from a Jewish family, and his mother was the daughter of
       Scottish and English parents.[3] [/quote]
       )
       [quote]So pay your respects to the black fist[/quote]
       This refers to the Black Power salute, which is an anti-racist
       salute:
       Ice Cube is reminding the store owner that anti-racist activism
       fights on behalf of all victims of racism regardless of
       ethnicity, and hence deserves respect from all victims of
       racism.
       [quote]Or we'll burn your store right down to a crisp."[/quote]
       But if the store owner dishonourably persists in ethnic
       stereotyping, retaliation will come. This is anti-racism.
       The above actually needs to be explained to rightists??
       And then it gets worse:
       [quote]One important difference when noting the double standard
       in treatment of blacks and whites over racial remarks is the
       context of the offending statements. Most of the "racist"
       remarks by whites are jokes, or statements said in a
       light-hearted manner. The statements of Trent Lott, Don Imus,
       Kelly Tilghman, Fuzzy Zoeller and other whites all fall into
       this category. Not so with most of the blacks. When they make
       racial remarks it is often racial slurs (Bernard Hopkins, Dick
       Gregory, Willie Brown) or expressions of intense hatred towards
       whites (Ice Cube, bell hooks, Jonathan Farley).[/quote]
       So "whites" using "blacks" as amusement is OK, but "blacks"
       getting angry at being treated as amusement is not OK? Bullying
       is OK but getting angry at bullying is not OK? This is what is
       meant by: "It's OK to be white."

       The host of this video is an idiot! He basically says at one
       point: "[Cuomo] doesn't get it, both sides think they're morally
       right.". Well, if both sides think they are right, logically
       both are either wrong, or one side is right and the other side
       is wrong. If we apply the golden rule to this equation: "do unto
       others as you would want done upon you", then it should not be
       difficult to understand that the side that exhibits racism is
       morally and ethically wrong. Would racists want to be treated
       the same way by a state that victims of racism get treated
       simply because of the color of their skin, something no one has
       any control over when they are born into this world? Of course
       not. The real reason racists believe they are right is because
       they are "white". Lastly, racism IS INITIATED VIOLENCE!!! It is
       the duty of the morally and ethically superior anti-racists to
       retaliate against initiated violence!
       By the simple standard set by the Golden Rule it should not be
       hard to see that 'anti-racism' is the morally correct position.
       The host of this video clip just doesn't get it, because he IS
       morally and ethically inferior to Chris Cuomo!

       One of the most stupid anti-BLM arguments I have been seeing
       over and over again these last two weeks (yet whose stupidity
       does not appear self-evident to many people) involves rightists
       pointing out that numerically more "black" victims are killed by
       "black" criminals than by police. As if this irrelevant
       statistic somehow singlehandedly invalidates BLM.
       This reveals a fundamental incapability by rightists to grasp
       what BLM means. BLM means that murderers of "black" victims
       should not be allowed to go unpunished (while the same murderers
       would be punished if they had killed "white" victims).
       Western police forces have no tendency to let off "black"
       criminals who kill "black" victims. So everything is fine here.
       The problem is that Western police forces have a persistent
       tendency to let off (mostly "white") police officers who kill
       "black" victims. This is what BLM was founded to end.
       And, once again, the fact that I even need to explain something
       so utterly obvious is not an encouraging sign.....
       ---
       Not this shit again...:
       How many fucking times do I need to explain it to you? To be
       “pro-White” is to be anti-“non-white”. To be pro-black is to
       simply be pro-black.
       ---
       Newcomers are unlikely to understand what you are saying. Why is
       it not anti-"non-black" to be pro-"black"? Please clarify for
       their benefit.
       In any case, it is not good to be pro-"black". Being
       anti-"white" (which includes being anti-Jewish, by the way) is
       much better. Only the latter attitude is structurally absent of
       self-interest.
       ---
       Let me clarify: since “blackness” was a category invented by
       “whites”, to be “pro-black” is simply to identify with an
       oppressed group, which never would have existed in the first
       place if it weren’t for the oppressors (I.e. “whites”).
       ---
       “blackness” was a category invented by “whites”
       "which never would have existed in the first place if it weren’t
       for the oppressors (I.e. “whites”)."
       True.
       [quote]to be “pro-black” is simply to identify with an oppressed
       group[/quote]
       Not necessarily true. It is theoretically possible for
       "pro-black" to carry tribalist connotations. This is why I
       advise not endorsing this term.
       (It is worth pointing out that BLM is provably not "pro-black".
       If they were, they would not be toppling Columbus statues, since
       Columbus never harmed "blacks":
       en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Columbus#Criticism_and_defense
       _in_modern_scholarship
       [quote]Columbus organized his troops' efforts, forming a
       squadron of several hundred heavily armed men and more than
       twenty attack dogs. Dogs were used to hunt down natives who
       attempted to flee.[159] Columbus's men tore across the land,
       killing thousands of sick and unarmed natives. Soldiers would
       use their captives for sword practice, attempting to decapitate
       them or cut them in half with a single blow.[166]
       The Arawaks attempted to fight back against Columbus's men but
       lacked their armor, guns, swords, and horses. When taken
       prisoner, they were hanged or burned to death. Desperation led
       to mass suicides and infanticide among the natives. In just two
       years under Columbus's governorship, over 125,000 of the
       250,000–300,000 natives in Haiti were dead,[61] many died from
       lethal forced labor in the mines, in which a third of workers
       died every six months.[167] Within three decades, the surviving
       Arawak population numbered only in the hundreds.[167] "Virtually
       every member of the gentle race ... had been wiped out."[159]
       Disease, warfare and harsh enslavement contributed to the
       depopulation.[168][169][170][/quote]
       BLM toppling Columbus statues shows BLM cares about "non-black"
       "non-whites". The BLM alliance with BDS reflects the same
       attitude.)
       ---
       Okay, but would you agree that the term “pro-Palestine” also
       carries such connotations?
       ---
       Not at present, but if Palestinians hypothetically were to
       become identitarian, then it could. In fact, the two-state
       solution is a Zionist tactic to tempt pro-Palestine people with
       identitarianism, in the form: "If you recognize Israel, you at
       least get to keep a (smaller) Palestine. If you refuse to
       recognize Israel, you could end up with no Palestine at all."
       Which is why I always promote anti-Israel sentiment as opposed
       to pro-Palestine sentiment.
       ---
       would you say that those who identify as “pro-Brown”,
       “pro-Black”, etc. are westernized? After all, they are
       classifying themselves using the same categories as heir
       Eurocentric colonizers did.
       ---
       Yes, though probably unintentionally.

       [quote]There still is white supremacy, but it lives in the

       Leftists obviously do not think non-whites are their equal. No
       one would try so hard to help an equal.[/quote]
       Firstly, we do not believe in equality. No two individuals are
       equal.
       Secondly, what rightists have trouble understanding (because
       they are barbarians) is that "weaker" does not mean "inferior".
       We (who are not barbarians) do not believe "non-whites" are
       inferior to "whites" in the qualities which we value. We do, on
       the other hand, recognize the obvious truth that "non-whites"
       lack power compared to "whites", which is why "whites" were able
       to colonize "non-white" countries. (If anything, we consider the
       greater emphasis of Western civilization on increasing power
       (e.g. via machines) compared to other civilizations to be
       evidence of its qualitative inferiority.)
       It is perfectly possible to want to help those who lack power
       without considering them inferior to those who possess power
       (indeed who created the civilization most concerned with
       increasing power) and who use that power to oppress those who
       lack power.
       Similarly, I do not consider non-humans inferior to humans, but
       I do recognize that they are weaker. In this case the power gap
       is even greater, and thus non-humans are in even greater need of
       help, because there is already no chance that they can ever
       defeat their oppressors by themselves:

       The True Left DOES want to destroy you, but NOT because we "hate
       America" but because we LOVE America and believe rightists are
       UN-AMERICAN COUP ATTEMPTING WESTERNERS in line with the same
       western colonialists who originally colonized America! If
       rightists actually behaved as Americans, instead of Westerners,
       we would have no issue with rightists other than their love for
       Judeo-Christianity, Israel, and Russia, whom we merely see as
       more examples of Western colonialism!
       One thing is for certain, both false-leftists and rightists are
       destroying America presently for WESTERN INTERESTS!!!
       Duhhhhh!!!! OMFG!?!? Can you people be any fucken dumber than

       This is a good one! I'd go a step further though, gender is not
       primarily a capitalist phenomenon but a Western one! This
       reminded me of an Oliver Malloy quote I posted previously:
       [quote]We live in this bubble of ignorance. Most people know
       nothing about history, or the historical context of the
       traditions they still follow today. People do things without

       The average Westerner, especially rightists, obviously have
       absolutely zero understanding of how programmed they actually
       are. Most of their "thoughts" are not their own.
       Let's talk about a question about gender....

       Well, there goes the rightist argument that immigration
       increases murder and rape rates in a state:

       [quote]Republicans love to blame crime on Democrats and liberal

       Turns out the mental and spiritual illness of rightists actually

       Yes, as moral absolutists, we know exactly what is good.
       No, most vaccines went through violent testing on animals,

       for us as vegans to consider vaccines to be good. But even if
       hypothetically vaccines were vegan, they are still not good, as

       Yes, we are intolerant. No, we do not love a good witch hunt. We
       would prefer no witches existed in the first place. But since
       witches do exist, ending their existence ASAP is our duty. Yes,
       we will appeal to the authorities to do something, but if the

       />etc. [Evacuation of non-"whites" from Ukraine - Dazhbog][/quot
       e]
       The relevant question when deciding whether a particular policy
       is racist is whether it benefits the in-group, in this case
       "whites". Therefore, the policies in question must have been
       aimed at scoring a demographic advantage for "whites" in one way
       or another.
       You could argue that the underlying intention was to get the
       "white" refugees to safety as regards the dangers posed by the
       Russian invasion at the expense of the non-"white" refugees,
       however, being safe from the dangers posed by the Russian
       invasion specifically is in the long run not actually decisive
       in and of itself when it comes to demographics.
       As we have seen, upon evacuating Ukraine, a lot of the
       non-"white" refugees actually repatriated to their (already
       majority non-"white") countries of origin (group 1), meaning
       that for the time being, they aren't contributing to the
       de-whitening of majority "white" countries. Sure, you could
       argue that at least they are still alive and might thus be able
       to once more migrate to a majority "white" country. This however
       exposes them to increasingly racist migration policies, so it's
       anyone's guess whether they ever make it to a majority "white"
       country again. Add to that the fact that even in relatively
       stable and prosperous states, they are still disproportionally
       endangered by the effects of climate change, which tend to hit
       majority non-"white" countries more severly than majority
       "white" ones, so it's actually anyone's guess whether they even
       survive long enough to migrate at all! In other words,
       evacuating this group of non-"white" refugees has effectively
       neutralized them from a demographic point of view.
       Another number went for other EU-countries (group 2). They might
       end up considerably safer than group 1 as far as war and climate
       change are concerned, however, their perspective of staying
       there in the long term is anyone's guess, so there is still a
       decent likelihood they will end up like group 1 anyway. Add to
       that that they might still be subject to racial profiling,
       racist violence and detention, particularly in racist Poland,
       which they have to cross to go anywhere within the EU. Add to
       that that gun laws in the EU are rather restrictive, meaning
       they likely won't have the chance to even defend themselves (and
       diminish the "white" demographic in the process). All in all,
       their perspective of negatively impacting "white" demographics
       upon evacuating Ukraine still isn't particularly good.
       Last but not least, a number of non-"white" refugees were
       citizens of majority "white" countries and Ukraine (group 3).
       They likely don't face the threat of deportation that group 2
       faces, however, all the other problems remain. Their chances of
       negatively impacting "white" demographics are better than those
       of the other two groups but still not exactly great.
       Had they simply stayed in Ukraine, they would of course have
       been exposed to the full force of the Russian invasion with a
       considerable risk of dying. On the other hand, they would have
       had a rather easy time obtaining weapons and training, enabling
       them to kill "whites", which already would have enabled them to
       directly diminish "white" demographics. Add to that that the
       Ukrainian evacuation policy disproportionally favors "white"
       females, meaning that the remaining "white" population, which
       would be dying at a similar rate as the non-"white" population,
       has a harder time replacing their losses through reproduction,
       whereas no such gender-based favoritism is evident regarding the
       non-"white" refugees, meaning they have an easier time replacing
       their losses through reproduction, which in turn means their
       population will grow at a faster rate than the "white"
       population, meaning that at least Ukraine can be successfully
       de-whitened to some extent.
       You could argue then that Ukraine being de-whitened is by far
       not as important as de-whitening safer, more prosperous and
       nuclear-armed countries such as France or Britain. Alright, but
       as the Turkish example demonstrates, having a non-white country
       immediately adjacent to the EU as a transit point for migrants
       and refugees already has a huge value in and of itself. Besides,
       not evacuating immediately, taking up weapons, getting training
       and combat experience and storming the border by force of arms
       in the aftermath (ideally killing more "whites" in the process)
       is still a more promising path towards that end than evacuating
       immediately.
       (It should be noted however that while this eliminates the risks
       for refugee groups 2 and 3 on their passage to some other
       country, it won't necessarily prevent group 1 from voluntarily
       repatriating and becoming demographically useless in the
       process, so depending on which refugee group is the largest,
       precautions should be taken to at least discourage them from
       doing so.)
       As should be evident by now, if anything, Ukraine shouldn't be
       criticized for making it more difficult for non-"whites" to
       evacuate, but for not outright banning them from evacuating.
       However, the latter would have made for even worse PR and
       diplomatic scandals than the path ultimately chosen and would
       have almost certainly cost Ukraine a huge chunk of the support
       they desperately need. Ultimately, discouraging Ukrainian
       non-"whites" from leaving in a subtle manner by making
       evacuation as difficult and dangerous for them as possible was
       the sensible way to go, even if it didn't work out in the end.
       Regardless of the lackluster result, the policies in question
       weren't aimed at scoring a demographic advantage for "whites"
       and consequently weren't racist.

       certain demographic changes. In other words, post-Soviet
       Ukrainians aren't necessarily the same as Soviet Ukrainians.
       The demographics of the city of Kherson in particular (where the
       massacre in question took place) changed as well (the share of
       the Russian and the Jewish population declined, whereas the
       share of the Ukrainian population increased). In other words,
       the bloodlines responsible for the massacre aren't necessarily
       as present today as they were back in 1964. Again, post-Soviet
       Khersonians aren't necessarily the same as Soviet Khersonians.
