How do Trump followers treat Russian immigrants?

Asked by Jeruba (55844points) August 5th, 2018

If Trump is demonstrably friendly to one Russian, does that generalize to all Russians, or would he still like to exclude Russian immigrants at the border along with all the rest?

And what attitude do Trumpians show? or can they even tell one nationality from another? Most immigrants don’t wear signs announcing their ethnicity. How do Trump followers interpret anti-immigration attitudes when it comes to Russian immigrants?

Where I live, there’s a very large international population, including lots of Indians, Vietnamese, South Koreans, and other Asians, Brits, all flavors of Europeans, Middle Easterners (many with hijab) and Africans, plenty of Mexicans, and even a few Canadians. And some Russians. Many of these people work in high tech or the healthcare professions, which is how I’ve met a number of them, but also in other settings. It would be a strange day if I went out and heard everyone speaking with the same accent.

I like ‘em all and find people of different cultures fascinating to talk to. I’m just wondering if the Trump gangs are equal-opportunity haters.
