The notion that the right’s love affair with Russia is predicated on a racial fantasy is not exactly new. Russia’s strategic support of nationalist and Christian fundamentalist movements had put it at “the helm of the global Christian right”:
Not only have Russian banks funded groups like France’s National Front, but Moscow has hosted international conferences on everything from neo-Nazi networking to domestic secessionists attempting to rupture the U.S. Meanwhile, American fundamentalists bent on unwinding minority protections in the U.S. have increasingly leaned on Russia for support—and for a model they’d bring to bear back home, from targeting LGBT communities to undoing abortion rights throughout the country.
Whiteness, then, is not merely a description of skin color, though it is certainly that. Rather, it is a broader vision of a theocratic society that shuns political correctness, rejects inclusivity in all its forms, erases the separation between church and state, favors expressions of corporate and military might, shuns environmentalist policies, and tolerates no dissent, especially from a limp-wristed press.
Russia has become an object of profound affection for some pro-white Americans
Trying to find the racial makeup of Russia is nearly impossible. All I could find is "ethnic" diversity:
MINORITIES AND ETHNIC DIVERSITY IN RUSSIA | Facts and Details
A very small population of Asians in Russia's far east.
But when it comes to Russian diversity, it's not about race,it's about ethnic diversity. In other words, Russia is very close to being as white as Norway, except for the Government. That's way more like Nazi Germany.
And that's two reasons Republicans really, really likes and admires Russia.
It's a white country
and
It's like Nazi Germany.
Both of which are models for today's modern Republican Party.
