Russia Has No Such Things

“you see mr tucker, in your country, you live in constant fear of being shown what you would look like if you were black or chinese. in russia, we do not have such things”

A tweet-style meme shows Vladimir Putin beside an unidentified suited man beneath a mock quote claiming that people in another country fear being shown what they would look like as Black or Chinese, while Russia supposedly has no such thing. The joke is sarcastic: the confident denial is undercut by the absurd juxtaposition and the reference to racial stereotypes and political propaganda.
