That’s not my take. That the people involved are part of a particular race is less important than that they are likely originally from a country that is a geopolitical rival and potential enemy to the US.

Would you say the same if the people involved had names that sounded more Caucasian but from a similarly rival nation?

Disclaimer: I myself am an Asian American, naturalized citizen, with a distinctly Asian sounding name. I don’t think top commenter is racist.

If the people had Russian names instead and top commenter said:

>US Nationals

><Russian names>

it's still racist, yes.

> I don’t think top commenter is racist.

I won't make any claims about the commenter. I'll criticize their implication that people with foreign sounding names are not "real Americans" though.
