    It’s more of a Polish grudge funny though.

    Poland has a bit of a history with Russia too.

      Surely Poland has been in an unlucky position between the empires of western Europe and the former Russian Empire, then again it has the same historical problems with Germany and I don’t see Polish people making racist jokes against the country that committed genocide in their territory.

        Maybe it’s the difference in Germany’s behavior and allyship towards Poland since the transgressions. Maybe Russia has not acted in a reconciliatory way towards Poland, maybe perhaps they’ve still behaved as an adversary, while Germany has taken accountability and joined a strategic alliance against the same Russian aggression that unapologetically continues to threaten Poland’s sovereignty

        I wasn’t aware Russian was a race.

        And if you knew anything about history you’d understand why Poland feels particularly strongly towards Russia.

        Germany made amends and stopped the warmongering. Russia has demonstrated that they will not.

        It isn’t that complicated.
