"Those who don't learn history are doomed to repeat it". Back when Pearl Harbor happened, people started to see japanese citizens as enemies. Not solely the Japanese government to that time, but even the humble japanese, even if those had despises against their government. Almost a century after, humanity is making the exact same thing, this time involving Russians and Ukrainians, as well as Israeli and Palestinians (exactly, "both sides"). Like how it happened back in Pearl Harbor, the prejudice extended all the way to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Medical), the subject of this community and thread.

I was born a Brazilian, without my consent. Also, without my consent, there is this thing called "Brazilian politics". I hate both the current and the former governments. I have no money nor conditions to simply leave the country but even if I did, I'd stay born as a Brazilian. Everyone who meets a Brazilian readily asks things such as "how's carnival, how's samba, how's football, how's Neymar". Being a Brazilian necessarily mean that I have to like those things? Being a Brazilian necessarily mean that I consented to the current politics within this country? If Lula is sided with Putin, does it necessarily mean that me, a Brazilian citizen unknown to Lula or the entire government (I'm just one among 220 million people), endorse him as well? Should I blame myself for my entire life for being born Brazilian? Should a Russian do the same? An Ukrainian? An Israeli? An Palestinian?

Don't know the whole story but :

If you banned them because they are promoting the Russia, it's okay. But it's not if you banned them ONLY because they're Russians. But maybe you could like said to them to do like in the sports, and operate as a "no-country" people, but surely not ban them for their nationality
