@Kwaine - TF2's Heavy is also noticeably Russian. Rocky's big opponent was too, Governator's russian cop character, e.t.c. This stereotype has been used A LOT.
@FakeMcCoy - about responces length - Kwaine is a wrighter, most of the rest of us are not...
The whole thing is a widely used trope in fiction: "Planet of hats". It's where you take one human trait and blow it out of all proportion to represent a nation. In Shofixti's case it was duty. The resulting species turned out to resemble Japanese. The Druuge are very similar to pre-WW2 antisemitic propoganda's depiction of Jews. You don't see me offended.
