So the Olympics begin next week! Wow! Everywhere around the world is making news stories about it, unfortunately one particular Polish newspaper has lazy editors.

For reference, these are the mascots.

Oh please, this would be funny no matter where the editor was from. You are simply projecting your own racial insecurity onto something where race is entirely irrelevant. Is it a desire for people to know you are Polish? To try and feel special and important like other visible ethnicities? Is this a byproduct of the "white race" construct, having removed you from your heritage and thus making you want people to see you as being POLISH, and not white? Isk, I believe we are making progress here. You're right, the white construct needs to be dismantled, we all need to return to our roots and stop pretending we are some far-off culture that we're not (Aboriginal and Asian culture being two major ones). I am Russian-Ukranian-Canadian and proud!

Kael, I can't believe you just typed that. That is so wrong. My gosh. I don't think I'll ever be able to look at you the same way again. You are Ukranian AND Russian? And all this time I've liked you as a person.

Your ancestors broke away from Polish/Lithuanian dominion on the Ukranian side, then took us over on the Russian side... Please don't speak to me anymore. Hatred goes through blood and travels past decades and centuries.

The awesomeness of Poland goes past simple editorial mistakes, which more than likely were made by a foreign nationalist working out of a Polish paper company.

Behold the raw power of Poland. The Rise, Fall, Rise, Fall, Rise cyclical structure.
