Polish Heritage Group Exit

I no longer will be a part of this group. There are not so nice Polish people on here that think only being able to write or speak Polish makes you Polish. I didn't sign up for a discriminatory group who belittled others who were not actually born or raised in Poland, and then calls you a drama queen for standing up for yourself. My Polish family and my mom especially would be turning in their Graves. I guess I will have to embrace my Italian side, maybe they will be more gracious. Yes, I'm mixed, I'd probably get discriminated for that too. God Bless, anyway.

A Facebook group post announces that the writer is leaving a Polish heritage group after being judged for not being born or raised in Poland. The punchline is the exaggerated switch to embracing their Italian side, while joking that discrimination might follow there too; it is used as a reaction to gatekeeping and identity policing.
