"Polish mine detector" doesn't reference the US ethnic stereotype of Polish-Americans, it references Nazi atrocities of WWII (i.e. forcing prisoners to walk in front of military units as mine- and ambush-triggers).

Not particularly polite either way, but somewhat different.

To be honest, I don't know if my former gaming buddies knew about that historical aspect.

In my comment, I'd intended to distance myself from that "joke". But in retrospect, I realize that in bringing it up, I was perpetuating it. I apologize to those whom I offended.
