an old timey 1800s one for a group that’s considered white now. It’s a slur in the way guido, wop or dago are. This house was built on ironic racism against Irish, Italians and Poles!
Yeah, in America it’s more of a joke. But learning more about Britain as I grew up, it’s crazy how the Polish hate is still just as strong as it was when my grandma lived there.
Yeah, I’ll admit this was an Americanism of mine and I acted like a burger here. In America, poles are not really discriminated against and are basically Irish-American Whites indistinguishable from other whites beyond incomprehensible surname spelling. I hadn’t considered that it was much worse in Europe
Here in the UK we got a considerable amount of migrants from Poland, and the amount of racism against them was incredibly high. I never met a bad Polish migrant too, they are all lovely.
I’ve known a couple that were completely insufferable but that was just their personality not a consequence of being Polish. Also they shouldn’t be expected to be perfect people they’re just people same as you and me.
A slur’s a slur. I’ve definitely seen Polish people get discriminated before. The article’s literally about a living Nazi who was ethnically cleansing them. “Ironic” Racism is some far right BS. I’m not white btw. White people “ironically” being racist towards eachother is the cringiest shit to witness.
This ain’t it chief anti-Polish racism is alive and well. Much like anti-Irish racism I was talking to a Scot recently who suggested to me that we put them in concentration camps
Is just good old fashioned racism I think. I’m glad you didn’t mean it as a slur, but I’ve certainly never heard anyone use that word positively. Usually as a joke about how stupid people from Poland are. I knew it meant an impossibly stupid person before I knew even what Poland was.

I think it’s worth being careful with this. Anti Polish racism is alive and well here in the UK.

I did the same thing.
True. Maybe I’ll avoid in the future. Everyone reading know I’m using it lovingly for Poland actually being based for once

Yes, please use the Hexbear approved “cracker” next time

Same deal with that South Park brained shit where “ironic” bigotry toward red haired people became a thing. Again.

Alright I’ll do 30 lashes and never again drop the p-slur
