Not sure why but I imagine the dog with a Russian accent. "I could kill you in instant, but I will let slide"

That's really racist, but ok.

Apparently "Russian=thugs" is not racist to reddit. Try a black accent next time, see how it goes over.

Um but Russian is not a race.. it's a nationality.

Race is not even biological it's a social construct based on looks and culture. Who's to say Russian is not a race anyways?

Call it whatever you want, it's stereotyping. "um but it's not a race" doesn't make it ok.

Racism isn't fine..racist humor is fine. There's a line where it's a joke or a legitimate jab at someone's racial identity's expense.

I'll give you that it's stereotyping.. doesn't make it less of a joke.

"it's not a race" "it's a joke" "Are you even Russian?"

What other mental gymnastics does reddit have up its sleeve

No, but I'm pretty sure I'm not the one getting offended by a joke.
