Then you went on to make a blanket statement about ALL Russians ("just a bunch of&quot : "Russia is not even a real country anymore. Just a bunch of thugs , mobsters, and thieves stealing the wealth of a dead empire and sowing chaos around the world."

Then you doubled down:

"Traitors all"

You were clear in your prejudice. If you were only talking about one group then you would not have condemned all the people in the country.

Most Russians are not thugs. A very few Russians are thugs.
Most Russians are not mobsters. A very few Russians are mobsters.

Prejudging a whole people on the basis of a very few is no different from prejudging muslims on the basis of Daesh.
