<DIV>I certainly don't dispute that Caucasians and other ethnic groups are even worse treated in Russia than Jews. You're just wrong if you think, however, that antisemitism in Russia is a thing of the past, or that Russian Jews don't have to put up with a lot of shit. You don't have to go back to Tsarist times, either, to find really serious antisemitic repression. Can you say Doctor's Plot, for one? And there's plenty of evil antisemitic garbage afloat today. jks Chris Doss <itschris13@hotmail.com> wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> > >There are a lot of ethnic groups that have to deal with shit in Russia. >Jews ain't one of them.
