Why are Amercians blaming RUSSIANS!?!?

The Tsarnaev brothers are being labeled “Russian” even though they come from a region that has been in an on-and-off again war with Russia for centuries. The only reason Chechnya is even considered to be a part of Russia is that it had been annexed to Russia by force. The only reason Chechen people speak Russian is that they were made to learn it.

The reason why Americans are so quick to label Tsarnaev brothers Russian is that they want to distance themselves from them. They are not like us. They are foreigners. They are the others...

Chechens come from Chechnya...They are in no way a "Russian" by any means...Chechnya have attacked Russia for many years with bombings and school shootings and a long history of attacking Russia but never West.....Chechnya have a long history of unleashing devastating terror attacks on Russia in the 90s Russia sent full force military and won... but the allegations of involvement in the Boston Marathon blasts would mark the first time they have targeted the West... Also Chechen Republic is one of 21 republics that are PART of Russian Federation... Okay that DOESNT MAKE THEM Russian they have their own prez and everything its like... England and France they have Republics like Canada! they can speak russian and their relatives might live in russia as dozens of other non-russians, former Soviet union residents do....................... People are blaming everything on us real Russians of Russia....im tired of be cursed at in public and they say we will kill you Russian we are ready for war! WTF!!! it wasn't us RUSSIANS they are not orthodox they are black Russians as in Islamic ones forced during cccp times........ we don't even control what goes on in that regions we just watch over it like when you take a country you keep it but you know?? Amercians keep blaming us and when you try to tell the story they go crazy I noticed in usa no matter what they always have to be right..

Update:

No democracy invades other nations?? - you country starts war with everyone and police the world haha...don't get me wrong I think usa is great but your just less knowing like ryan... Blame Putin? Putin restored Russia he is prasied all over so this is stupid... and all the other asswipes in your government for the America medias portrayal ?? You really hate us don't you? back at home know one really even hates usa they just think you could be smarter....

    The biggest majority of Americans DO NOT blame the Russians. The Russian government even warned OUR FBI about the older brother. What else can Russia do? Our government does NOT blame Russia. MOST Americans DO NOT blame Russia. I will admit, in this country, we even let very stupid people live. Just because they have no idea what they are saying, is no reason for you to get so upset. There are only a few idiots. Don't even talk to them. Just ignore them. If they break the law, call the police. I am sorry you met some jerks. But, don't you believe ALL Americans are like those idiots.

    Dude not even worth reading all of it. If Russia annexed it then its a part of Russia like Puerto Rico is for the u.s. it's a territory not an official part of the country. Nobody gives a **** about Russia or Chechnya i never even heard of it until this all occurred. The reason people are calling them Russians is because it's so much easier to identify then Chechnya or however you spell it. It's a way for people to be like that's where there from. You can picture a little bit of them

    Growing up if you know anything about Russia. Only crazies in America blame all of Russia we know that it was just two brothers who went a little extreme.

    American are not very good at geography and have a habit of blaming the country next door when something goes wrong. When Saudis did the 9/11 thing, the americans bombed Iraq. They just know it is out there somewhere.

    So who should he blame then? Muslims, as usual??? people don't realize we come in all different colors so don't blame me for what some Asian guy done. Why do you care? Russia is a powerful independent country. Don't worry about what the media says it'll blow over.
