POLISH GROUPS PROTEST POLISH JOKES ON FOX SITCOM
Tuesday, November 20 2007

Polish groups are up in arms over a character in the Fox sitcom Back to You and how he is treated by other characters. The Polish American Congress has demanded a meeting with Fox owner Rupert Murdoch to discuss the matter and has asked that the character, Gary Crezyzewski, no longer be identified as Polish. "What we found so troubling is the attribution of a Polish identity to a character portrayed as someone less than competent," PAC Chairman Frank Milewski said in a letter to Murdoch. "We believe any ethnic group would be offended by having Fox portray it in such a derogatory manner." In reply, Fox defended its treatment of the character but added, "We apologize to any viewers who may have been offended."
