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


Sean I always like to say when people ask. I do not have a problem with nationality, which is true. I do, however have a problem with attitude. Maybe in these new found times and terminology, and of course being political correct, we should say "I have an attitude problem", and everyone is above the law.

Ksysia you sound a bit disappointed, maybe you had a high expectancy before you came to england, alot of people have.

It was interesting what you said about how the acceptance from working classes was much more natural than middle classes. I think that there are good and bad in all classes of society. Sometimes in banks it is the way the person deals with you, the level of empathy they show, or do not show. I dont think that it was personal maybe the person just had a bad day, or it could be Autum. I have to admit I was also annoyed this week with the level of service I have received everywhere, it was noticeable.

As mcgee said it varies from person to person and not country to country, you get the same miserable people in Poland as you do in england, and yes the polish are just as racist as any other person. However, it is one thing showing it and one thing thinking it.

I think however that the middle class society always have something to prove, and are a little unstable. (stuffed off to boarding schools at an early age, devoid of a little love and understanding, must perform academically at an early age) this has alot to do with the midddle class persona.
