At least Croatian, so I'd assume other balkan languages as well as potentially Czech and Slovak would use it. I think Latvian does as well.

There is a lot of overt racism.

Both are bad, both are wrong, but even you have to be able to see that one option is worse than the other.

Him pouring gasoline on the fire sure as shit didn't help.

"I'm for euthanasia but I think we need to introduce it in a way that doesn't reduce access to healthcare"

What part was negated?
