Why is Antisemitism considered to be a form of racism, but Russophobia is a part of the Western mass culture?
I'd like to discuss a topic that's been on my mind - why is Antisemitism considered to be a form of racism, but Russophobia is a part of the Western mass culture?
Antisemitism and Russophobia are both forms of hatred towards a particular group of people, but they are not considered equal because they arise from different historical and cultural contexts. Antisemitism has a long and entrenched history in the West, and has been used to justify discrimination and even genocide against Jews. Russophobia, on the other hand, emerged in the context of the Cold War and reflects a political and ideological conflict between the West and the Soviet Union at the time.
