Reply to comment by [deleted] in [OC] Ethnic Russians in the Russian Federation, 2021 Census by greensino

If we make an analogy with the U.S., then ethnic Russians are Americans who are descendants of migrants, while ethnic non-Russians are natives.
The difference is that in the U.S. there are racial distinctions between natives and non-natives. Whereas in Russia natives can also be of European appearance. Nevertheless, they have separate languages and sometimes a different religion and culture.
