Define punching down.

Is it economic power? 400e minimum wage here

Is it history? 400 years of Asian/African colonialism

Privilege? Amazon, any official manufacturer site and PayPal don't work here. We just got Google Pay and Apple Pay.

Slavery? The word slave originates from the word Slav and we had nothing to do with colonialism.

I'm a white European and I am way less privileged than any US minority, technically we Slavs are also POC in the US.

So I technically can't punch down on Americans. These kinds of things are dumb since you can't know someone's ethnicity, race, sex, country, etc. online.
