USA, Canada / Iranian moving to Poland from Canada. What to expect? [23]
I'm just talking about in an international sense, that is NOT a lot of foreigners and saying that Poland is becoming the second best destination for foreigners is a lot of exaggeration.
Considering some Poles have no perception of the 'n' word and similar racial terms, it shows they really don't know much about people who are visible minorities. When I was there, there were a lot of teenagers throwing the 'n' word around when speaking English which I didn't particularily agree with but the fact they didn't know how bad the connotation with the word is was a bit shocking to me and told me that they don't really have contact with many black folk apparently which leads me to the conclusion that Poland doesn't have a whole lot of immigrants who represent visible minorities.

Language / which verbs take biernik [8]
If the verb isn't specifically another case like szukać(genitive) or martwić się(instrumental)
and a direct object follows the verb, the object would be in accusative.
ex. mam dziewczynę, the verb mieć always takes accusative because the noun that follows is always a direct object.

Genealogy / Grandchildren of Polish Immigrants [26]
I disagree too. My friend was born in Canada and her sister in Turkey yet they were still born to Polish parents, eat Polish food, drink Polish booze, and speak Polish at home therefore they consider themselves Polish not Turkish or Canadian....
And are you SERIOUSLY saying that if youre born in a country thats where your roots lie?

Life / What do Polish people think about Turkey? [52]
Turkey is very modern and the muslims in Turkey are much different from those of other islamic countries as many Turks have yugoslavian routes. Most of the muslim Turks I know don't even wear hijabs and aren't super religious. Turkey is very traditional yet liberal at the same time.

Genealogy / Alex and Katherine Yascuk, of Krakow..? [7]
Those last names don't look very Polish, maybe the spelling changed?Could it be Jaszczuk maybe? and also if their names were Alex and Katherine, the Polish versions would be Aleksander and Katarzyna if that helps!

Technically it does fit with the scheme because certain verbs can govern certain cases and szukać always uses genitive
