We Slavs are not seen as equal in west European countries. They don’t see us as white

True, eastern Europeans in Germany still experience white supremacy in forms of jokes and stereotypes abt them being uneducated, thiefs 😕

"white" to Western Europeans is so arbitrary. They even considered Irish people non-white a 100 years ago, and they still haven't let go of considering Eastern Europeans as the "wrong white" people

During WW2 “some” Slavic people in the concentration camps? 😭 Poles were second to Jews in numbers, so not just some Slavic people ;;

This is SUCH a valid point, as a Ukrainian I’ve experienced this personally everywhere around Europe and the US. Even though we’re technically “white”, for some people were not “white enough” 😂

Absolutely. And it is related to the fact that these populations used to be the targets for an international slave trade. The stigma lasts centuries

This phenomenon is greatly explained in a book “White but not quite” by Ivan Kalmar. He explaines the problem of Slavs being white but not enough white for the West. Great book full of insights.

a white person cannot experience white supremacy. This isn't a race problem you're making it sound like. It's an issue yes but not everything bad that's ever happening is always ab skin colour

yeah, also west always has seen slavs as cheap/free labour. even nowadays, there are this weird seasonal jobs that are more similar labour camps than actual ethical work place

thank you for this take! As Ukrainian and Slavic person, i really struggled to understand our place in the whole white supremacy conversation. Slavic people were definitely "subhumans" for Nazis

nope :
I'm gonna add an interesting info here: Germans viewed Poles (and other Slavic people) as subhumans and in 1939 wanted to colonize Poland, it was their goal - to have a new colony full of slaves.

Moreover, in history there was a long period of slavery of Slavs, who were captured and then sold further east. Some historians even believe that the word “slave” comes from the name „Slav”.

Not just Slavic, Finno-Ugric people (Finnish, Estonian, Karelian, Livonian) as well. We were considered Asian, meanwhile Tolkien's elves were inspired Karelians...

A lot of European countries weren’t always considered “white” despite being pale. People in power will always find a way to consider you not good enough if that’s what they want from you

Yup, us Slavic people are seen as not white. At least not in Europe. Even though nearly everyone denies that fact today, we experience a lot of Xenophobia.

100%! Eastern Europeans were seen as sub-human not too long ago. Secretly, I’m sure many westerners still see us that way. You could be the most slavic- looking, westerners will consider you inferior.

we can discuss the oppression of Slavic people without going all out American and saying it's because they're "not seen as white". They're seen as "other" and that in Europe is enough to be oppressed
