With the following story, it is a good time to remind everyone that our hostility towards Russia should not lead to positive bias towards Ukrainians:

BECAUSE YOU SHOULD KNOW: Racism Rears Its Ugly Head In War-Ridden Ukraine

Because you should know, on the third day of Russia’s mindless attack on Ukraine, it seems racism and white supremacy has reared its head. The unfortunate hashtag #AfricansinUkraine is trending on social media after multiple videos were tweeted claiming to show discrimination toward Africans in Ukraine who are among legions of humans scrambling for safety.
...
“Some people have gone to get buses, but they’re not allowing Black people basically onto the buses. They’re prioritizing Ukrainians. That’s what they say,” A woman named Sky told the platform, as she and her fiancé made their way to Poland by car.

Another post is consistent with those reports and is said to show Ukrainian officials denying a group of Africans from boarding a train while preference was given to those who were white Ukrainian citizens.

A host of other tweets from Nze @Nzekiev showed Africans being threatened with firearms and motor vehicles by Ukrainian military and police:

They actually wanted to crush us with their bus, and even pointed guns at us while we were shouting “we are students, allow us to cross”

@CNN @guardian @guardiannews @BBCWorld @nytimes @AlJazeera_World why are you not reporting the racism against blacks at the Ukraine/Poland border?

Plenty of Ukrainians are racists. I still hope they succeed in killing as many Russians as possible (and support arming them to do so), but I am not in the least bothered by themselves dying in the process.
