Or maybe you could encourage the Baltics to be more tolerant to its Russian-speaking minority?
If Russia didn't want russophones in neighboring countries expelled, they should stop using the existence of Russian speaking people in other countries as a casus belli.

We're discussing whether a southern jury would behave in a certain way because southern society may be or not be broadly racist, and someone brings up a case where the white assailants get a light punishment due to (implied) widespread racism.
"The case does nothing to show widespread racism but rather only shows racism from a single actor (I e the judge). The judge is likely racist not because of widespread hate of Asians in the society he lives in, but because he was out in a concentration camp by Asians." seems like a perfectly valid retort.
This line of reasoning proves too much. The phrenology department has never produces anything of any value, so surely that should get even more funding than the humanities?
