      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

      history is so fun /s

        Seeing as the “one drop rule” is still essentially in effect, yeah basically. Moreover, “white” was never a skin color. Irish people weren’t considered white when they were mass immigrating to the US, and they’re the palest motherfuckers that exist.

        It’s all made up.
