If you think that it's just the postcolonial West that has a problem with treating Africans like equals, you need to think again. Even less comfortable is the fact that it's not just Russia where racism is rampant, Ukraine and CEE have their fair share of it, too.
Russia is simultaneously:
- hosting Candace Owens in St. Petersburg

- advertising in Africa along the lines of "come to work in Russia, we have busty blonde Slavic girls here for you"
- sending Africans who fall for that to their death in Ukraine

🇳🇱🇷🇺 @trouw.nl ran an interview with the RU ambo to NL, and it's wild.

- Have you ever been to Ukraine?
- No.
