The situation has escalated since Ukraine initiated its recent offensive operations in June.

Why should young students be held accountable for their governments actions?

[-] ratz30@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Well you said that the problem lays with India's trade relations with Russia, and this is a thread about Indian students facing discrimination in Ukraine.

Were you not justifying this discrimination based on India's trade relationship?

Yes... when you excuse xenophobia your validate it. So implicitly you said: That's okay, they deserve it.

He did only conclude that they should be held accountable for their government's decisions, because that's the least insane justification for that bullshit.

So the problem is still xenophobia and you are just excusing it...
