You listen to Russian media, you hear often the word "khokhol."Plural "khokhly".

Were the "khokhly" black and and American, the contextual translation would start with "n".

I see translations of these texts and "khokhly" turns up as "Ukrainians." That's simply wrong--understandably cowardly--but wrong.

Now I'm not so sure. Such a waste. So utterly disgusting in so many ways.
