Maybe because he identifies as a person, not just an ethnicity. Are you Russian, or a Russian person?

Over my Hubski presence I've always called myself "a Russian" - that is, a member of the Russian national community, born into and by blood. It doesn't make me less of a person or more diluted into the national stereotype, as many of the hubskiers will agree. I mean no offence to the author; oppressed communities - Jews, blacks, hispanics - seem to be the only ones to used that construction, and I find it weird that they even have to.
