Sometimes, as an outsider it's really easy to understand a situation. You're outside the bubble, and everything seems so clear to you, because you're not clouded by your own thoughts or personal frustrations. Sometimes it's easier to generalize and simplify what could actually be a very complex situation. In my case, when I look at Russia, I'm not sure what to say about its problems with racism. Sure, I hate racism, I hate when people dislike each other based on wealth, religion, or social status. But I also know that I don't completely understand all sides of the story, and any opinion I make is based on what little naive knowledge I have of this huge, confusing country.

This afternoon a suicide bomber killed over 35 people in Domodedevo Airport, in Moscow, and injured hundreds. It's a sad thing, and I don't know really what to say, except that it's hard to blame any group of people, for something that one person did. Let us all hope that someday this world will become a better place, where everyone sees the harm and pointlessness in violence.
