I'm quite confused what to think about this. Seems it's a matter of 'ignorance' rather than malevolence. Probably. But I'm not sure.

(given that, for example, a far-right group were all arrested a few years ago, for distributing literature inciting racial hatred in an area of London I used to live in...and the entire membership turned out to be of Polish origin)

I doubt Poland has a similar legacy of blackface minstrelsy perpetuating racist stereotypes dating back to the 1800s.

Not an unforgivable sin, but they gotta read the room and change rather than double down.
