#RealConversation selling my car:

Me: someone's offered the asking price

Them: are they #foreign?

Me:

Me: I don't understand what that has to do with anything

Them: well, the #EastEuropeans...

Me: that's prejudiced

Them: no, it's not

Me: assuming something about someone just because of where they're from is #prejudice

Them: I'm not prejudiced, my wife's from #Poland

Me: that doesn't make any difference, it's still prejudice

Them: okay, *some* of them, because they're all...

Me: no

The biggest failure of people in the #West regarding #Russian #dictatorship and #Ukraine is that they don't listen to #EastEuropeans and #Ukranians. Despite everything,they still don't entirely. Sometimes it's ok to shut up and just listen to what people are saying. People and politicians have been asked for help and support, not opinions about history and unworkable solutions.
