> The fact they had to mention that these people are Russian also strikes me as odd.
Well, not really all that surprising to me.
You see, according to the newest popular consensus, all Russians are 100% evil always. Each and every one of us starts their day with eating a baby, and no afternoon is complete without torturing a kitten.
The mere fact of a person being born or existing within the borders of a certain country disqualifies them from being viewed as anything other than the enemy to the humanity as a whole.
All of this is absolutely logical, is based on indisputable facts and is not chauvinistic hatemongering whatsoever.
God forbid those mmmhhh-onsters make the knowledge available to all, and worse yet - have a good time while doing it, that'd be a disaster.
