Is UK the new cradle of antipolonism? [161]
Is the only reason you are in America and not Poland money, grubas? If not, why not? What else is there?
It is their choice what they drink, true, but I just found it a little odd that they wouldn't use the very trump card and selling point of the place. Having said that, they did look studenty so hardly flush for cash. They do tend to cling to their own generally but that's their thing.
I would say that the travelling thing applies more in the case of Poles, grubas. There is a Borgish mentality to some extent.
It's a fact as it can be shown to be true, grubas.
Many were depressed when Tyskie wasn't available. The linguistic skills of many came up short as a lot of the underclass went across. Many Brits and Poles will tell you the same, grubas. This is just a reality and can be verified most notably by Poles themselves who are ashamed of such 'ambassadors'. Always remember, when it comes to my posts I have a specific group in mind. Out of all the posters here, I am the guy that says 'some Poles' the most. I HATE stereotyping as it's done by many and I also show that Poles are not as homogeneous as they think at times. That Borgish mentality only goes so far but many strive for it.
If he tarred all with one brush then it goes without saying that he is wrong. This is supposed to be an educational discourse and not mud slinging so I hope he qualifies what he says.
Sid, I see your point. Singling out one group is not the way to go but this is a Polish forum so at least he is on topic ;)
Ist2, I agree. However, I don't want to digress and I'd just end up getting angry at how Brits, esp tos*ers from England, treat Spain with contempt. They call their food 'foreign muck' but I love it. That's all I wanted to say on a tangent. Back to Poles, I think some Brits may find some tactless due to their honesty. If a Pole believes sth is cr*p then they will often just out with it and say so. It's a different culture and we have to acknowledge that. However, I imagine many Poles to be respectful there and just say nothing out of not wanting to cause offence.
