Of course not all Russian citizens are racist but there are varying levels of racism, homophobia and bigotry across the globe. Having a whites only policy would fall into that. Not many other countries citizens would be so bold as to do that on another country.
It’s really unclear exactly what’s going on with that though. I’m morbidly curious to know how it really is.
I mean are their suburbs or areas with signs in every restaurant window saying “whites only!”, or was it a once-off altercation between a sri-lankan patron and a russion restauranteur? Probably something in between, but we really don’t know where exactly on that spectrum.
Honestly this happens to some extent in any holiday destination in SEA. Obviously it’s not as overt as having “Whites Only” signs, but it’s not necessarily a Russian thing.
