in every instance I'm aware of there is no racism in communist countries because all minority races had been exterminated.

Can you provide 3 or 4 examples of these exterminated minority ethnic groups that no longer exist?

This is interesting.

I'm unfamiliar with this history.

Please, do tell.

The links are in Finnish because Russians basically jail everyone who tries to make research about people killed in Stalin's purges. The first 3 links are about Kola peninsula Finns.

Other genocides were cultural, and it still means e.g. vepsläižed, inkeroin, and other karelians in Russia exist only in theory. Latvian finns were killed during imperial Russia era.
