No Russian discrimination and racism against Poles?
Having just read "Ethnic Poles", yet I am so surprised that they only wrote about German racism and discrimination against Poles but never wrote anything about the much worse Russian racism and discrimination against Poles. Is this an attempt by Russian apologists here to show that they're not racists and not persecuting non-Russians?

@
ZaDoraemonzu: The reason that racism against Poles by Russians does not belong here is that that matter is already covered in
Anti-Polish sentiment, though not heavily so. In addition most racism against Poles specifically by Russians occurs in Russia and not in Poland, where Poles are a minority and thus of course more vulnerable/susceptible to racism. However,
Racism in Russia does not even have a section about racism against Poles which might be problematic to you. I do not know enough about the matter to write a section there, or to improve the "Today - Russian Federation" part of
Anti-Polish sentiment. If you do, improve the articles along with whatever information is relevant, of course most importantly, based on
Wikipedia:Reliable sources.

Poland at that time was divided by the Germans and Russians, from 1795 to 1918, Poland did not exist. The "Ethnic Poles" page I have seen has explained clearly racism against Poles by the Germans at the time. However, what makes me feel insulted is the lack of studying Russian racism against Poles here. That's why I question about this bias. Yes, German racism sucks, but Russian racism is that innocent? Don't forget the subject of "Ethnic Poles", Poles, effectively minorities in nationalistic German Empire and Russian Empire, were subject to discrimination and racism.ZaDoraemonzu (

The section on Jews doesn't even contain the words racism. It also starts by discussing events from 500 years ago. I don't think there is consensus in the literature that historical antisemitism is the same as racism. I think that section should be split into a separate article about
antisemitism in Poland, and shortened here (or removed entirely, if no source can be found to connect it to racism). In either case, this section is the longest in the article here, which is clearly WP:UNDUE. I was recently rewriting the sadly deleted Polish Wikipedia article on racism in Poland, and I read a number of academic articles, and racism in Poland is directed primarily at black people, Arab people, and Ukrainians. There is antisemitism, of course, but antisemitism=/= racism and is not the main focus on works dealing with racism in Poland. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus|

They're generally grouped together, often with other forms of bigotry (see eg. [1][2][3]). MacMaster views racist antisemitism, a relatively late phenomenon (see
scientific racism), as one incarnation of several in a long historical continuum of antisemitic prejudices.[1]: 86–87 François Robere (

Its important to remember that "Race" is a social, not a scientific category. Its a *really important* social category, but its not a hard physical category (For example many Iranians are as white as the driven snow, but in western countries they are still often percieved as non white. Theres a well known history of Irish folks being often excluded from whiteness, and indeed Jewish folks are regularly counted as non-white by white supremacists). The category of "Jewish" is an interesting one in that it is part "race", part "religion" and part "ethnicity" , you get Jewish people who are african descended and would be considered "black" by most folks. You have Jewish people who subscribe to christianist or islam. And so on. In this context antisemetism IS a species of Racism, even if many targets of antisemetism are not infact religiously, or alternatively ethnically jewish.

Delete the statement: ""We want God,"". It looks like an example of rasism and this statement is not rasist.
Delete the sentence: "The ruling Polish Law and Justice party has been described as far-right." Far-right is not the same ass "rasist".
