UK, Ireland / Sad life of a Polish migrant in the UK. Ch. 5 - Racism [259]

Few things seemed worth reading in this thread, other than SeanBM's notion that race means very little to begin

BS!, Race means alot its just that most people struggle to understand why.
Its amazing how humans would like to think that they are capable of overriding instinctive feeling, the fact is they happen most of the time without us noticing. Its natural for a culture to want to be around itself, thats has nothing to do with race.

For instance i don't like black people, you will ask yourself why or cry "racist" but i can asure you i don't like them because of the differences in culture which are stark and not because of their skin colour.

You shot your own foot, hunter

Not at all, many of them are slang and they came about because of the large immigrant population that we have blacks, asians e.t.c.. So i shall rightly take my arrow and stuff it up your knob box.

But as I stated before it is not comparable as there are so few foreign nationalities here in Poland and so many in England and especially London.

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou sean. Its nice to see another person that understands the reason england is like it is. I wonder what will happen when poland has to take its fair share of african migrants the EU has planned for them.

SeanBM - OK, do you have a term that is derogatory to mean white people? Because we do - Białasy.

white boy, honkey, milky bar kid, white trash, need i go on?.

Celts, Norse, latterly Irish in the 19century and English in the 20th century.

Infact DNA would show otherwise, yes there has been immigration but its inpact as been very low as the numbers that settled were very small.

The largest city in the Highlands has just over 5% of its population as Polish alone (Polish ambassador visited two days ago ). This populastion is set to increase as the recession comes to an end.

Not to bad, i know of areas in england that have over 40% asian and over 10% polish.
Even so the difference is for scotland this has never happened for them before on such a scale so for the moment they are riding the wave, we in england already know whats its like and we don't want it.

Yeah, you got me, I edited but not quickly enough :)

:D

You may translate it as you wish the fact remains that it's constructed to mean blackie

Czarnuch noun ni**er and this is what everyone tells me it means

Why are you still here? ££££££££££££££££££££££££££££ get the f*ck out of my country! We dont want or need you! (is that racist enough for you, you thick slavic sl*t?)

I suppose thats one way of getting the message across :-/

Czarnuch is a name for Africans

No it means n****r, don't take me as a fool

Chapati is the name for Indians

yes that is used as well as chabak (or however it is spelt) but they are both deemed to be derogatory or racist.

Scotland has a fair share of idiots the same as any other country but as a whole, I would say Scotland is less racist.

I think your looking at it from the wrong angle, scotland throughout history has never had high levels of immigration, england on the other hand has always bore the brunt of it.

If scotland was suddenly flooded with migrants then iam sure they would be as angry as english people are right now.

angielski is a normal word, polite word, meaning English

I have always been told by many poles that it was slang. Anglik was the normal way of describing someone that was English.

I could. If she's not comfortable with serving me, there is probably a problem.

You really are clueless, any company can refuse to serve you. They are private companies and are on private property.

because we call the Enlglish Angole? That's anger

Normally its something like angalski

If iam to be honest i couldn't care if my country is racist, xenophobic or anything else that might offend other nations. What does annoy me is other people having a go when their country is no better or is worst. Many polish people are racist, not so much the women but the men are. If anyone of them wants to describe someone to me that is asian or black they will always say something that sounds like "chaback" or "charnoo" to describe that person. It doesn't bother me because people will always find that other races are different, i accept what is real in life and not what looks good on paper.

but she knows that Polans will not go to courts over some petty rude person's behaviours.

Don't be so stupid, you could never take someone to court over they're rude behaviour no matter how rude they are being.

Are you xenophobic BE?

I suppose so, saying that i will always make the effort to talk to people and find out what they are all about but i always expect people to fit in and not to try and change things to their way.

Like with the poles, i didn't welcome them but i spoke to them out of politeness and after 5 years of doing so i have found 1 person that i could truly say was a genuine that i really did like, infact he was the only person i was sad to see go.

I think "racism" is most of the time not even racism at all. It's the unknown, unfamiliarity with a group of newcomers that is kinda scary to some ppl.

I think the word your looking for is xenophobia

you Poles are a little white, because you were controlled by Sweden and you got mixed.

I will be amazed if anyone said that and they weren't joking.

you are Eastern European, so you should be on 16k max, you know...

Think yourself lucky, i would have you on the minimum wage + no benefits.

even their bank managers wash our floors'.

Maybe if she pulled her head out of her arse she would of realised that companies are not going to make space for someone thats just come of the boat.

Today I got thrown out of a bank for example, by a bank manager, who suggested that I should close my accounts, and she will not have the time to meet me at 2 (but it was at 4!), ok, she will not have the time to meet me at 3 (but it was at 4!) no time at 3!

Looks to me like your just lying now, if that really did happen then you would be the first person i've ever heard of to have been thrown out of a bank and asked to close their account.

Life / Why is cheating at schools in Poland accepted?! [155]

There are hundreds of stories on the Net or by word of mouth.
Polish students who migrate to America or Britain are considered stars or aces in schools there.
And the other way round too. One of my students who had spent a few years in US school, with many successes, with head teacher praising her extensively, was a mere E/F student in my class. There was even problem with her passing to a higher form.

I wonder pawian if you have spent any time thinking about these stories, maybe some are true but its very doubtful that the school they attended in the us/uk would have been of the same quality as they attended in poland.
