yeah it’s funny seeing Poland in that list since for a hot while we were not considered “real white” and were “slavic”, same story as what the Irish went through. From what i’m reading at some point we were even considered terrorists in the US! (because one Polish dude killed some president), and the same scare tactics as what happens around Muslim people today were engaged
That’s because “White” as a concept has always been invented to be nebulous and exclusionary. It’s not a real group.
