    LOL, the majority of Russia is in Asia and consequently the people from there look Asian. Amazing.

      While most of the Russian territory is in Asia, the most of population leaves in the European part.

        So? The claim was that Russia was a white nation which is objectively wrong.

          The likelihood that two randomly selected people in a Russia will be from two different groups (ethnicities, religions, etc.) is less than 25%. That’s very low. It’s a very, very white nation. 81% of Russia is ethically Russian, and in most of the world that means “white.” Putin is white by every common definition, like 81% of his country.

      I mean, yes the majority of Russia is in Asia. But, the vast majority of the population is located west of the Ural mountains and are ethnically Slavic peoples.

      The people in Russia who look Asian are ethnic minorities from east of the Ural mountains, namely of Turkic and Mongolian descent. The vast majority of ethnic Russians treat them like second class citizens.
