History / Polish Jews - they changed their Jewish surnames to Polish [532]

Because they have very little interaction with anyone other than other Poles.
Many hate Jews who have never even met one. But they will be the first to say Roman Polanski is Polish and i don't know if he is a practising Jew but his background is Jewish he was born in the jewish section of krakow. In all fairness its mostly the uneducated but I have been shocked by the racist comments of some highly educated Poles as well.

It is getting better but still a generation away from any real change. But most countries have large pockets of racism so am not just picking on Poland nor saying it is the worst but perhaps it is because Poland is such a homogeneous nation(if I spelt it right)

you know no other ethnic groups of any size as in most other countries.

History / Polish Jews - they changed their Jewish surnames to Polish [532]

I am fascinated by many people who say poland is run by Jews please show me evidence! I somehow doubt it if you were to live here as I do Poland is far too inefficient and illogically run to be run by jews. Its a stereotype but Jewish people are usually better at business and far more tolerant of other people than i see here and If Poland is run by jews SO WHAT!!!!!! But why are there so many churches and about 10 synagogues? And Why do my fellow Poles insist on apearing like idiots with this terribly outdated morally wrong and plain ignorant view of the world remember the man who destroyed Poland and murdered millions of Poles both Jewish and Catholic used the same anti-semitism to control and almost rule Europe. Or if you hide your hatred and call it Anti-judaism it amounts to the same thing your refusing to accept responsibility for yourself and for the problems of Poland. Poland can become great again and it will, as soon as the generation of nit-wits, anti-semites, and petty name callers are all dead and the new blood who are tolerant educated, beautiful inside and out can finally move Poland out of the dark ages and into the 21st century. And we will!!!!! I think Hitler accomplished far more than he realised as most of the Polish people with brainsand heart true Polish heart were killed and he left the idiots to squabble over who is more oppressed.

USA, Canada / The best way to get your girlfriend from Poland to USA legal? [19]

First, Dude I love the Big Lebowski homage all time greatest film !
She could work, just not legally then you can get married and she can stay its the easiest most permanent way. there are fiance visa's but you must start paperwork in the USA. now I assume I am jumping the gun and your not ready to tie the knot then well, it is hard to do. I have a Polish wife and we got married in California and it made my time in poland easier we plan to move to the states but haven't started green card process yet Right now my wife has a ten year tourist visa. I know many Poles who work illegally on phoney Soc. security cards.

Oh Dude I can't answer your question Poland took a lot of my money so I could live here legally and work.

Real Estate / Foreigners: Please don't buy Polish Land! [823]


So you want the Soviets back in control ?
The solution is simple don't sell Polish land to foreigners, and don't buy Zywiec and Tyskie as they are not owned by Polish companies. Capitalism is here Ola and it will never leave and if Polska is to compete Poles must open their minds to new ideas and to business. Its a sad truth about the modern world and remember we voted to join the E.U.
