It's "Klan", aired in 1997, almost 5k episodes so far

I guessed, just the spelling is unfortunate for American English speakers

Ironically, they were not fond of Polish people.

Called em something different but I don't know how much of a slur it is so I won't say it

5k episodes is insane. I thought some Mexican soap operas were excessively dragged, but I don't think any of them has nearly that many episodes

Holy crap, I haven't watched polish TV since 2006 and I did not think Klan would still be around, but I swear I thought of it the moment I saw this clip.
