— A Ukrainian car customizer was forced to change his shop’s name after being harassed on the phone and online for having the word “Russian” in his business’s name.
“They started all of this. Hatred got thrown away on us for basically being ourselves,” he said. “For me, I’m Ukrainian. I’m not Russian but I speak Russian my whole life.” Shaun said he immigrated from Russia after the government targeted him for demonstrating against the current regime.
State approved bigotry is ok.
