Westerners get sanitized PG13 russian humor: sardonic anti establishment anecdotes, surrealist quips, etc. Very few encounter the rest: just straight up racist stereotypes. Unfortunately, as the success of Borat has proven, many in the west will relish in such things too. https://t.co/OJ6mLebprF

It's unfortunately a losing battle to try and convince someone that what they enjoy is problematic. Shaming or exposing or "cancelling" often has the opposite effect.

I've no good solution for this. I've made the mistake of trying to intervene like this before but feel it only backfired or at best went ignored. This is something people need to arrive at themselves unfortunately.
