Genealogy / Polish person's average height? [210]

Dinaric Serbs are supposed to be the tallest people in Europe and there is no reason to doubt that.

But I would really like to see a statistic about that...I mean you must have that from somewhere...just curiousity because I've always read the people in the north are taller than the people in the south and the stats I've read so far seem to suppport that.

History / "Poland's Concentration Camp" ?? [570]

I was laghing when German foreign affairs minister visited Poland with his wife and they all were sleeping in Skorskis house. Funny situation from historical point of view

What's so funny?

PS: Abour the polish BUND

Algemeyner Yidisher Arbeter Bund in Lite, Poyln un Rusland

...doesn't sound sorbish either...compare that with Hochdeutsch:

"Allgemeiner jüdischer Arbeiter Bund in Lite (Litauen?), Polen und Russland"

History / "Poland's Concentration Camp" ?? [570]

I still think they are mostly a religion (at least in Europe).
People converted to and back....there were german Jews which were physically totally germanic, there was nothing ME about them.

But I agree...it's a people too...(not easy)...

Intriguingly, the Sorbian
tongue, relexified with a German vocabulary, has been
proposed as the origin of Yiddish

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_Germany

But how??? The center of german Jews was since 1500 years back in the west, the Rhineland...the Sorbs live in the far East!
Hardly possible...

Hmmm...Wiki says there was Western Yiddish and Eastern Yiddish!

As to Askhenazi DNA most of them are (J) middle east. In some groups there is high level of R1A1 and Q.

How come???

Yes I am proud that Poland holded commies and nazis before WWII in prisons

Umm...Poland had Nazis before WWII???

Honest question here...

History / "Poland's Concentration Camp" ?? [570]

Erm...maybe there is a misunderstanding here?

It was a time as concentration camps where seen common and useful (remember it started with the Brits and the Boers).

No, the Poles had nothing to do with Auschwitz and Treblinka etc. (and they couldn't have even if they had wanted - besides themselves getting killed in there that is).

That was all ours (the Germans)doing.

Yes, concentration camps did exist after May 1945.
(As it was still seen as something usable)
Only that now the inmates changed. And the gassing stopped too but else it surely can't have been like a holiday and many died too.

So...ummm...what was the problem here again?

If a white player is good enough to join the national team, he'll join it.

Hmmm....then it would really mean white french lost either their skill...or their interest!
Or whites are generally not good enough??? Hmmm....

Miss Poland 2000 name was Justyna Bergmann... does that mean Germany was a Polish colony ??? ;)))

:):):) Touchè!

The idea of a quota is totally stupid, i'm sorry.

Why???
Why is it okay for blacks to have quotas??? That is the meaning of quotas...getting a chance even when you are still lacking!
Why is that seen as a good thing for them but not for whites when they obviously need to be supported too in certain areas...who is the racist here?

PS: Doesn't France even have a quota for french songs played in the radio???

There are people joking about it, others who don't care about where the players are from, and racists who would like a "quota", 1 black, 2 whites, for example, how stupid and narrow minded...

Why narrow minded???
Why is it okay for blacks to have quotas to help them to develop and to be serious about equality but not for whites???
Do you really think it okay if a predominantly white country has barely white players in their national team??? Nothing wrong with that??? Where are they all? Did the native french lost their skill or their interest suddenly???

Have you ever seen the Netherlands' U19 team ? They have many black players. What about Davids, Kluivert, Seedorf, van Bronckhorst and the youngs Emanuelson, Melchiot, Heitinga, de Jong, , Babel, Vermeer, Zuiverloon, Sno, Drenthe, etc....

I agree...that looks odd too...

Hehe...Many Poles claim Klose and Podolski! Should that mean Poland was a colony??? :)

It really looks odd if for a central european team nearly only non-whites play...
How is that fair and equal to the native whites???
French or non-french...

Thanks for the explanation of the "richtige Deutsche".

As I said...that's one of several.
Others might see it different...
Bratwurst Boy

Life / Polish people and racism. [943]

so what does the term "richtige Deutsche" mean? That's an honest question.

Good question....
The best answer (for me personally) was something I read in a discussion about this. One poster wrote that WWII was something of a defining time in the history of our people....and having the infamous "Arier-Nachweis" was kind of mandatory.

He concluded that every citizen who can connect to that, whose family took part in this, is definitely a German!
That's only one way to define "Germanness", but for me it works!

Only when it serves to illustrate a point.

Which point in Germany 2008 should the Nazis help to illlustrate???

The point is that you said our society never knew really a distinction.

And?

We don't even have a word for it to differ between ethnic Germans and non-ethnic Germans/citizens of Germany...what's your problem?

Do you want now everytime you disagree with a german hark back to the Nazis???

I thought Germans were working hard to define what German meant. Heck, they even measured sizes of noses and ear lobes at one time.

Erm...you know that the Nazis are gone for 60 years now, do you???

To say a person of colour is not really French (or British or German) is pure ignorance!

In Germany we have that problem that our society never really knew a distinction between being of german ethnicity and citizen of Germany.
But times have changed!

Saying a colored human is German as in "of german ethnicity" is wrong, but it is of course possible for him to become a citizen of Germany, the state.

If a person is born and raised in a country he is a product of that country.

NOT if they are raised in a "parallel society", living only in their ghettos, speaking only
their language between each other...having barely contact with the "outside" - the host country around them.
In Germany we have those...

Maybe fourth generation german Turks are just sick of not being accepted as Germans?

Okay....now we have this situation:

1.) Many Germans are never going to accept these foreigners - regardless the long and heavy pressure of multikulti politicians and media!

2.) Many foreigners are unwilling to assimilate and to integrate even in the third generation born and raised in Germany

So...what do you advise???

It IS a matter of education, culture. The problem is not the kids, it's the parents.

Agreed!

But...it's as I said already the third or fourth generation...their parents and their grand parents were already born here and got to school here.

And NOTHING has changed...that is not normal!
Should we just accept it, just shrug and say: "Well..it's their culture!" ???

What do you advise?

I just think education met her limit if there is no will to become educated...

PS: And ignoring a good school education, ignoring the importance of learning the language of the host country, ignoring the need of good, respectful behaviour IS stupid!

Excuse me....but if it's part of the "culture" to be ignorant to the education of their offspring...well...screw that culture!

I once saw a doku about teaching in such a problem class...I couldn't stand it to see the teacher in the front preaching to a group of desinterested youth who didn't listen, had nothing on their tables, talked loudly in turk with themselves and frankly couldn't be arsed to listen to this poor sod called teacher.

They even had still their jackets on...
Do you know that teacher get regularly beaten up by their students???
Unthinkable with Germans...

Of course....these kids will get barely an education, most won't get a certificate at all, unable to communicate in german...but when they don't get work who's fault will that be? The Germans, of course!

That is sick man!

But Mozart DID avoid using German in his operas and he DID write a opera in Turkish.

And he did so because he disliked German???

I do not think the german teachers put some extra efforts to help the underachieving turkish children

There are schools in Berlin whith nearly 100 percent turkish/arab youth...the teacher really do their best.
But what do you do for youth who still barely speak the language, are disinterested, do not regularly visit the school and are often highly agressive and disrespectful to their teacher?

The Rütli school in Neukölln had to be closed because the teachers got on strike, they feared for their lifes!
Can you imagine that with german pupils????

It's more a matter of education than intelligence.

I don't think so!
We have children of the fourth generation here in Berlin which are even worse than the first generation...uneducatable!
