only if someone says they are aboriginal and and you mount a media campaign against them on that basis the obviously they are part white, and later refuse to acknowledge that yes they have aboriginal ancestry and yes they identify with that part of their ancestry...

And it took me even less because I found that website about descendants of Siemowit already weeks ago (and posted a link in Daily Graphs & Charts).
BTW - king Canute was himself half Polish (his mother was Polish), so Elisabeth is related to the Piasts not only through Siemowit but also through Canute.

no anti vilification laws... not criminal, and the first course of action requires medition between the parties involved... but we have a infamous case of a journalist that took it all the way to court and lost...
mainly because he got the facts wrong.
and in a background of taking children from their mothers if they had some whiteness, it is a touchy issue.
According to Wikipedia, that's purely mediaeval tradition, you know, the same sort of tradition that had Britain settled by the Roman senator, Brutus, and King Arthur being a real person.
That either of those things could land you in court is scarier than all the damned killer creatures down under. Very surprised and disappointed to learn this of Australia.

Not sure what do you mean - and what tradition did you expect, Industrial Age tradition?
Many sources say that Canute's wife was a Polish princess, daughter of Mieszko I - Thietmar of Merseburg and Adam of Bremen among them.
Thietmar of Merseburg was contemporary with Canute - thus he is a very reliable source in this case.
Also Canute had a sister whose name was recorded by "Liber vitae of the New Minster and Hyde Abbey Winchester" as Santslaue - which is a Latinized version of name Svietoslava. Why would Canute's sister have a Slavic name if not because of their (Canute's and his sister's) mother's ethnicity?
There is pretty much a consensus among scholars that have seriously researched this issue, that Canute's wife was Mieszko's daughter.
The only controversy is regarding her mother - which of Mieszko's wifes was the mother of Canute's wife.
King Arthur (who allegedly died in 537 AD in the battle of Camlann) is first mentioned (in known texts) by Historia Brittonum, written in 829-830 AD.
So there was a 300 years long gap between Arthur's alleged existence and the time when his story was first written down.
This is not the case with Canute's wife, who was described as Polish by sources contmeporary and nearly contemporary to Canute. Canute's wife is not legendary but historical figure. Thietmar (born 975 died 1018) clearly wrote that she was a daughter of Mieszko I. He only forgot to mention her name.
BTW - I would say that some historical equivalent of the legendary King Arthur really existed. But of course his legend is not historically accurate.

And by the way, given name "Arthur" is of either Insular Celtic or Italian (Roman or other Italian) origin.
So if a historical Romano-Briton prototype of the legendary King really existed (I think he did), then Arthur could be his name.

Do you feel the same about defamation?

My posts truly made this thread multicultural. What you call "thread derailment" I call "thread diversity".

What you call "thread derailment" is what we call "dropping the thread topic on the bottom of a pit while flipping it off".

I was actually writing about multiculturalism all the time, so I'm not sure where did Takhisis see any "derailment".
Apparently Takhisis only likes talking about certain cultures while doesn't like talking about some other cultures.

More like the genealogy of Queen Elizabeth. And all the Polish kings.
Very multicultural.

Bad news is - that was far from "all".
She has a very multicultural genealogy.
