Ethnicity in Poland [17]
I am a Taiwanese and I read some articles in Wikipedia and it says Polen is not 100% Polish people. There are also Ukrainian, Russian, Belarusian. Before World War II, Poland is a country which contained various ethnic people. But after World War II, the new country border made Poland move right to left and lost some area includ Lviv in Ukraina and some land in Belrussia. And lots of German people forced to leave their land such as German in East Prussia. And now there are still some Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian and German or even Lithuanian are still in Poland and they are also Polish citizen. Do they get along with local Poles? Do they still speak or write or read their own language like Russian, Ukrainian, German or Belarusian or Lithuanian? Any racial issue or conflict?
