And for the record I wasn't being dismissive. I honestly don't know if it's okay for people to do Polish accents because I don't know the rules for that. I didn't even know about Germany and their specific racial oppression of Poland until you brought it up. We never learned that in our schools here in America.
I'd rather err on the side of honesty and tell someone "I don't know" rather than give some sort of uninformed answer to see if they'll approve. From what it sounds like only you can determine if you don't like those accents being done by non-Polish people. I know America and American racism which is why I feel more qualified to speak on Jess Wood and her accents from our culture. But speaking on German / Poland accents when I didn't even know the history there would've been out of my moral character. I know a lot of shit. I'm smart. But part of being smart is knowing when I don't know something and choosing to shut up about it.

This is how the Germans saw polish people: Wiki: Anti-Slavic racism was an essential component of Nazism.[11] Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party regarded Slavic countries (especially Poland, the Soviet Union, and Yugoslavia) and their peoples as non-Aryan Untermenschen (subhumans), they were deemed to be foreign nations that could not be considered part of the Aryan master race.[1] Hitler in Mein Kampf stated: “One ought to cast the utmost doubt on the state-building power of the Slavs” and from the beginning rejected the idea of incorporating Slavs within Greater Germany[12] As subhuman. Niiiiice. Im a mix of both, German in my passport and my life, and also more in my heart. Germany is way more progressive now, for example with LGBT+ rights. (Marriage equality) My life is here. My 23 and me results, my birthplace and my past tell me I’m polish. So that’s why it’s somewhat complicated. Last edited by Apia resurrected; 01-16-2021 at 11:07 AM. |
