Tensions must be high if it makes world news that a black goat in Russia is named "Obama."

Russians don't have any racism to anyone with dark skin, absolutely - as a proof, in Russia words "black" and others doesn't have any negative meaning. But Russian have dislike to middle-east and caucasian sorts of behaviour in society - it's true. It's because Russian police very liberal and don't consider abusing behaviour as sort of crime, and don't fight with ethnic crime mafia, as we need.
