"Part of the segregation at the border might be the result of India and specific African countries NOT denouncing the Russian invasion of Ukraine"
Hmm, I don't think this explains it. The trouble at the border took place before the UN vote to condemn Russia. And I'd be surprised if the people I saw assaulting black people were aware of the way their countries voted in the UN emergency session
There's undeniably a racism problem in some Eastern European countries (quite possible an Islamophobia problem too). And in times of such stress and fear, it's saddening, but not entirely surprising, that these worst instincts come to the surface. But the idea that a country has to free itself from bigotry before we should care that its citizens are dying is absolutely unbelievable.
