HoratioRash posted:Cossack is not an ethnicity per se. Cossack was a designation for someone who guarded the borders of the empire. I have cossack roots, half of my team does. Do we call ourselves cossacks? No, because we're not guarding the borders. Those dressed up assholes who DO call themselves such are amoral, brainless twats who terrorize the local population, do not fight anyone armed, and instead prefer to steal poo poo from locals and terrorize the population. There is not a SINGLE cossack battalion that stood and fought their ground in defense, not a single one who went on the offensive , not a single one who'd mount the frontlines. They prefer to sit deep behind where nothing can hurt em, play dress-up with their uniforms and guns, jack cars from everyone they can. Most cossacks have been disarmed or destroyed for loving up too much, thankfully. Few remains and they're quiet for now. Cossacks are an ethnicity recognized by the Russian government. Per se. How do you feel about the racism exhibited at Russian football matches? Do you believe it to be endemic to Russian society?

African Americans or Latinos.
