All anglophones in this section are probably freaking out as they realize that the section has been overrun by Russians🤣

English does actually allow that differentiation: "ethic Russian" vs. "Russian citizen".

Anyway, I find it much more interesting that a member of a Muslim minority in Russia enters a discussion here. 👍
If you're gonna start putting out citizenships to everybody like hot cakes, don't be surprised people stop caring about it. That's how inflation works.

I guess using compound nouns can clarify things quite a bit, but the single lexical unit "Russian" is still too ambiguous.

You actually bring an interesting point about self-identification. I'm an apostate Muslim baptised into Russian orthodoxy that became disillusioned with religion, went through an atheist phase and found my way back to spirituality through Buddhism. I guess I'm still a member of a minority group, but is it a Muslim one?

I hope you're having a nice day 👍

In this context I would even say: Yes

There are people who try to impose their religion/ideology on others and chop off the heads of people who disagree. They are the enemy.

But there are also people who just happen to be if Muslim ancestry, arheists, agnostics, religious people who just don't attach much political meaning to their faiths, there are religious dissidents, sometimes fundamentalist in their iwn right but not necessarily violent etc. etc. They don't must be enemies, unless we approach each orher from a general xenophobic attitute.

General xenobhobia is an extreme that must be avoided.
Lol I know that video. Very funny
But something's dumb about it: The egyptian boy is white but he says he'll pass it to the white boys
I can't stop laughing, it was too funny 😂😂 and hope she is doing well after getting this much rejections...
And one thing I will like to point out that we Indian are also a part of Asia but yaa someone can say that as a ethnic group we are a lot different ..
Since my peeps weren't mentioned. I've never known any red man hard up enough that he would try to harpoon said land whale, although, the Eskimo, Inuit and Macaw seem to have a history with whales. So maybe they'll render her for blubber.
