I mean, the funny thing is that the UON-B (The Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists – Bandera faction) has unequivocally been operating as a stateless paramilitary seeking political reform through violence. Not unlike the Houthi Rebel movement or Hamas, after the IDF killed all their civilian bureaucrats and political functionaries.
But because the term carries "brown person acting badly" connotation, people reflectively reject the idea that a white person can earn the title.
People do seem to get upset when you remind them about all the Christian terrorists that set fire (or similar) to abortion clinics.
