I had someone once argue with me saying that despite Irish people being considered black in American history, "they can't say the n-word because they aren't considered black anymore".
I'm nearly all Mick, with a touch of Limey and Kraut.
Funny thing, though; when the subject of race comes up (especially whenever I find myself in Portland), I usually inform them that "I'm part of the Human race... how about you?"
Watching their little heads explode is kinda funny still.
Just fucking great. As a white guy we are such a small number in the world and now we gotta oppress Slavs too? Our oppression is really getting spread thin because there just isn't enough of us to oppress all these colored folk. Unbelievable. Well, I'll start the planning for our next meeting so we can figure out how to hold down the Slavic man.
It's kind of like trying to buy an American-made car. The Toyota may have more American-made parts than the Chevy. Before you go out to oppress people you have to look up everything about them on various lists.
It's a meme from MemriTV, I was just referencing it because despite being around 1% of Italy's population they account for around 15% of all violent crime.
Slavs here are also looked down upon, just as you said, but way less than Albanians or Rumanians or Moroccans, because they commit WAY less crimes than those groups here.

Liberals all stand down and take their punishment like good NPCs.

The Slavic community is defined as those from the former Soviet Union.
No. "Slavic" is a group of related ethnicities and their corresponding languages, and the Soviet Union included many non-Slavic peoples (e.g., most East Germans).
It is a little unusual to consider the Slavic community as a community of color, for conventionally the community is considered White.
This wasn't generally the case until relatively recently, at least not while I was growing up -- and I'm not that old. The same goes for the Italians. Not that I have any problem with either group.
The Slavic community has arrived in this part of the USA facing similar forms of discrimination and exclusion as did the Polish, Irish and Italians many generations ago.
The borderline-illiterate person who wrote this doesn't appear to be aware that the Polish are Slavs...
A glaring omission by the author is the fact that the word "slave" COMES FROM THE ANCIENT GREEK WORD FOR SLAV. Maybe that's somewhere in the publication, and is just missing from the abstract, but I doubt it. Overall, the ignorance is astounding.
Fun fact: Ben Franklin considered "white" to be a synonym for Saxon, excluding even other Germans (whom he called "swarthy") as well as Scandinavians.
As a (LEGAL) refugee from the proud People's Republic of Kekistan I'll remind everyone that our people have been oppressed for thousands of years. We've been people of color (green hue) for so long some historians consider us the original POC.
They're outright slowly defining whites as "Anglo-Saxon", and explicitly uniting all "non-whites" of the world against them. Hmm... Where have I heard this before? Oh right, according to those very same people, that's a "deboonked conspiracy theory".
Slavs should not even consider this bullshit, they are a proud and very tough member of Europe. Why should a proud ethnic group want to be associated with a victim horde?
"It is a little unusual to consider the Slavic community as a community of color, for conventionally the community is considered White, and in all databases reviewed for this research, the community is included within the White community. So why this variation? The Slavic community has arrived in this part of the USA facing similar forms of discrimination and exclusion as did the Polish, Irish and Italians many generations ago. These communities struggled with language, employment, education and social exclusion. In much the same way, the Slavic community faces these barriers to parity and to equity."
I am German and Irish, two of the most enslaved and mistreated people of the ancient world! I am a person of color too!!!
Irish Need Not Apply!! Thank you I'm proud of my colored peoples history.
I had someone once argue with me saying that despite Irish people being considered black in American history, "they can't say the n-word because they aren't considered black anymore".
Yes, but your history is not important. /s
Italians use a lot of seasonings so you're at least mulatto I'm pretty sure.
I’m 5% German and about 40% Irish, where are my weparations?

"According to this, the Swiss are the most oppressed people. Wait... what?"
You'd feel oppressed too if your national cheese was full of holes.
MAKE CHEESE SOLID AGAIN!
Being a Slav will always be preferable than being, may God forgive me for uttering this word, an Albanian.

You're gonna have to take up the slack - my calendar is packed until at least April.
It all started years ago with the Polish jokes.
Awesome!!! I was running out of people on my list to oppress.
We need to all do DNA tests so we can claim to be a POC.
Wait, what the hell am I thinking? Faux-cahontas claimed to be Native American for years. 1/1024th is enough!
I’m a POC. I am 1% Cherokee. That’s how it works, right?
Only need to be 1/1024th according to Pocahontas.
That's 0.09765625%! An American Indian could spit on the ground and it would have more Indian genes than her.
I've got to rewatch the South Park [Holiday Episode](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holiday_Special_(South_Park)).
I'm 2% Asian. Wait... Are asians considered white?
They are like Hispanics. They can either be white or minority depending on if you were defending your home or being arrested by a cop.
What’s it like to a Hero, op?
😂🤣
I'm mostly Polish.
Where's muh reparations.
Forty acres and a pierogi?
"Make it two peirogies and forget the land!"
Only if they throw in some beer too.
Just bring back the kishka stolen by the colonialism and we can call it even.
Same. I'll take my reparations in beer and pierogi.
So stunning. So brave.
I have Irish ancestry, can I get my oppression card now, too?
Sure. You can redeem it for a free pint of Guinness and a kick in the arse.
Guinness in one hand, whisky in the other.
Irish handcuffs.
Wow. That is fucking gold!
Irish seven-course dinner: a potato and a six-pack of Guinness.
I guessed the punchline before I read it, does that mean I'm an honorary mick?
Not likely. We know you're hoarding a pot of gold somewhere.
Wow so brave 😍 congrats
Now just claim you're transitioning and you have carte blanche to do whatever you want
"I was assigned Czech at birth, but I identify as Slovak. My pronxuns are hě/hiň/hiňsělf."

When’s the SLM March?
This is an excellent strategy ... if every heritage is a “person of color” then no one is and we can put this bullshit behind us.
SLAV LIVES MATTER!
We wuz slavs
Cool!
BTW - Can someone remind me: Are Asians People of Color again or are they still in the White Supremacist penalty box?
Asians got traded for Slavs
Imagine declaring groups of people "colored" and being like: "I'm an anti-racist! Racism doesn't stand a chance!"
Slavic? As in... Melania Trump? Well, wouldn't that just make the leftist's heads explode?
/laughs in Irish
Incredible my grandfather was Yugoslavian so I get the n word pass right?
You do realize that Coalition of White people would be fair, not racist.
Now, do the Gauls!
Cant caeser killed them
So who exactly remains in the oppressor group? Are we down to like Germans and Swedes?
So wait, if I am a Slav, that means I am a person of color or what ?
Pretty soon, no one is going to be "white"
English and germanics will always be white.
I'm a slav and I did not sign up for this
I'm Scandinavian, we don't allow lesser people to categorize us.😉

Where my gibsmedats?
Are Poles Slavs? Either way, Polskie życie ma znaczenie!

i’m 50% macedonian 50% slovakian... check your privilege, bigots. 🤣
Grats bro
This is interesting - if we are all marginalized than no one is. Keep pressing!
I’ve been looking for a nearby pierogi store store to loot and then burn but having issues. If only we Slavs desired dank sneakers.
They're outright slowly defining whites as "Anglo-Saxon", and explicitly uniting all "non-whites" of the world against them. Hmm... Where have I heard this before? Oh right, according to those very same people, that's a "deboonked conspiracy theory".
FUCKIN' A! I'M A MINORITY NOW!
SUCK IT BITCHES!
WHERE'S MY FREE SHIT?
Is it because Russia hacked into the voting machines to ensure the most secure election ever?
Holy shit, I'm a Slav! I'm also Irish.
.... Huh... it doesn't feel any different knowing I'm a person of color.
Slavs should not even consider this bullshit, they are a proud and very tough member of Europe. Why should a proud ethnic group want to be associated with a victim horde?
WOOHOO! I'm finally a minority! Croatian is slavic right? Right?! RIGHT!?
I'm Slavic, WTF does this mean? Also really, community of color, "Hello, I am from COC". Cunts!

Excellent post OP!
