Dear Mr. Earley, I am writing to express my strongest possible objection against a defaming phrase that appeared recently on the Fox Network show \"BACK TO YOU\". The statement, made by one of the characters, was directed at people of Polish descent \"...it is in your Polish blood, like kielbasa, like collaboration with the Nazis\". The utterance was followed by a recorded laugh track presumably from a studio audience. This insulting sentence shows either a total lack of basic historical and political knowledge or a purposeful defamation of one of the most heroic nations that lost millions of people fighting against Germany while others were waiting and watching. As one of the 10 million of Polish Americans, I request full apology from the President of the Fox Network, its management and writers with information about personal decisions regarding the people responsible for these derogatory and racist statements. Sincerely,

im still reading through every single comment on here and honestly the stories you guys are sharing about your families are just powerful. im currently drafting a formal follow up to send over to the network office to make sure they know we arent just going to move on from this.

im honestly blown away by how many people are signing this to say that what happened on fox is not okay. it feels like we finally have some real momentum building behind this demand for an apology.

Wow. How did this even get past the censors? Ignorant and hurtful for no reason. Do better.

Completely disgusting. My grandfather fought in the resistance and lost everything. Fox needs to educate their writers and apologize now.
