Pardon my exaggeration. Creating a thread because your out of context joke was received poorly seemed worth making a joke about. It looks like my joke was received somewhat poorly too, so we can commiserate together.

i'm sorry, are you suggesting that somehow chattel slavery and anti-polish bigotry are in some way comparable?

Poles were literally subject to systemic extermination in living memory.

yes, and i don't think that's relevant to someone being criticized for apparently echoing a reference to a Polish comedy film by comparison with amerikkkan racism towards anyone not considered a member of the white racial group at a given moment. the us v. european context is pretty different. i considered the possibility that mods were referring to the nazi extermination of "slavs" which of course included Poles, but it still seemed worth asking. i'm primed to have read this more along the context of like "irish" amerikkkans claiming anti-irish bigotry.
