We routinely block nations where we have no customers from some assets, because why would they be there other than doorknob rattling hoping for some security issue. "No customers" is now racism? If we block people from the UK because of their burdensome Online Safety Act, we're racist? If we blocked Russian or Chinese IP addresses because their government doesn't want their citizens data stored on our infrastructure, it's because we're racists?

Apparently the definition of 'racism' has grown wildly in certain quarters.

One could suppose that's just due to some misconfiguration

Sure...but so much easier to assume they're a racist I guess.
