ok, if it in Polish has such a  meaning then it already something to be
careful. In ex-Soviet culture of international multilingual community it came
rather from the non-Slavic languages (Asia, Sibiria etc) when Moja voja ne
ponimaj ovecome a languastic frames and become used to any mentality/personal
misunderstanding. in our context this is misunderstanding between
mentalities/backgrods/cultures/political aproaches. 
I will thnk about alternatives but  we also can say we want claim old rasistic
clishes and speak out about them.
