It sucks that this shit goes on. I like good natured teasing and winding up, but fuck these people.
The worst part (admittedly this is from the perspective of an English person) is the hypocrisy.
My friends are happy to joke about their reservations about Poland, but get real offended when I joke about anything to do with BAME culture.
If it’s all good natured joking, then why is one comfortable and one is not? Clearly it’s because they actually hold xenophobic views and when they are ‘joking’ they actually believe it.
I can’t believe how many ‘Woke’ people are so unaware of themselves.
Its stupid that people seem to think that Eastern Europe is culturally and technologically backward as well. I was showing some Polish music to some friends and they said ‘I thought it would just be a cheap version of Ed Sheeran’. I was gobsmacked at how someone could think 1) that there could be a cheaper version of Ed Sheeran than Ed Sheeran, and 2) How transparently ignorant they were.

That interaction from the last paragraph sound rather interesting. Do you know what they meant by cheaper Ed Sheeran? And what did you play them?
