It’s probably more important if Putin the actual person is actually Asian or not. And he isn’t lol he is of Russian ethnicity and born in Europe to Russian parents who were also born in Europe.
just because you came into a conversation in the middle and injected something no one else was saying doesn’t mean the thing you injected became the topic of discussion
Russia the country is both in Asia and Europe, that makes someone of Russian ethnicity born in Europe to Russian parents an Asian
That’s… Not how it works lol
Russians are an East Slavic ethnic group native to Eastern Europe. Their mother tongue is Russian, the most spoken Slavic language. The majority of Russians adhere to Orthodox Christianity, ever since the Middle Ages. By total numbers, they compose the largest Slavic and European nation.
Closest you can get is calling him “Eurasian” I guess
I mean the first person they mention in comparison is Putin who isn’t an Asian
Depends how pedantic you want to be. A large portion of Russian land is in Asia.
Right but it doesn’t make all Russians Asian.
Hasn’t stopped liberals from doing orientalism when they call for doing genocide on them
Is it more important what percentage of their population is past the Urals or how ‘savage foreign enemy’ tropes are being used?

wrong
for the reasons already mentioned but not addressed
But this was about whether Putin is Asian or not. If the actual person is Asian or not seems like the only thing that matters lol

the world is not your narcissistic fantasy
Lol this was the photo that sparked the discussion
I was just saying that it’s a weird one because the article it was replied to talked first of all about Putin who is not Asian
That’s really not the point
yeah it is. WTF is with lemmy always simping for china? Are we supposed to pretend nothing is wrong with China?
???
Are you reading a different comment thread to me?
… please tell me, what continent is Russia located in?
That’s… Not how it works lol
