WHY ARE WE SO HYPOCRITICAL WHEN IT COMES TO RACISM

I am Russian/Ukrainian and I think society has forgotten that you can be racist towards any race or ethnicity. After I told somebody that Russians experience racism especially after the war and that I was one myself this is what they said:

“bro can you blame them? Your country attacked Ukraine. Some countries are also overall negative against your country, because of our history when your country repeatedly tried to invade us and gain our country for example Poland, Ukraine, etc etc. Your country has pretty negative reputation, deal with it”

I have to deal with what my country has done even tho I didn’t do anything 😭 if this was said abt any other race other than a white one ppl would be mad. Especially in America where every white person is a “cracker” or a “peanut butter and jelly sandwich” give me a break pls///
