Harry, you had it coming. You can't talk so loosely about raping and pillaging.

Aha, so he is a Germanised Pole. I don't really care either way, it's what he did for the advancement of humanity rather than his nationality.

That's OK. From what I have read, it is not an outrage. The Germans have some strong claims but the father is still BB's achilles heel.

That's a Slovakian proverb, Torq.
How was Copernicus raised? How well formed was Polish identity around the time of his birth?

Researchas, some hate and some don't, end of story. Just like anywhere. Trust me, I live here and I can say that the Poles are largely indifferent. RockyMason had a chip on his shoulder and emotion distorts rational thought.

News / Are Polish People Being Discriminated Against? Problems getting a US visa. [258]
As long as there is gratitude for US intervention in WWII, then that helps. OK, America meddled in the Balkans (Britain more) but they helped to stave off and eradicate Nazism. Now we have supranationalism, a phenomenon that many are doing their utmost to advance. The EU has spread its wings far and wide. In today's connected world, I'm really surprised that the visa requirement hasn't been waivered. Still, it shows the importance of abiding by the rules and playing the game.

It's because much of Europe (and America actually) can see the geopolitical strategies at work. Our governments lied to us and killed Saddam for what? He was a great servant for so many years and outlived his usefulness?
Anyway, Poland helped out in Iraq and Afghanistan so why no back scratching? Why have other Baltic states been given waivers?

True enough that. I had to use English with beginners whilst doing my CELTA course. They were from so many different nationalities that I was hardly gonna break into Farsi, Spanish, French and Arabic at the drop of a hat.

Exactly, now you're talkin!! PIFL lawyers have wrangled over this and come to no definitive conclusion either way. Many have betrayed their countries or taken other sides but that doesn't wipe out their roots and history. BB is on shaky ground as I believe the parents issue, esp the father, to be highly important. If I went to China and really felt Chinese, that wouldn't make me Chinese.

PP, he was born 7 years into the changeover to Polish status. If his family deemed it so important for him to be a Pole then why was German all he knew? Language is not the deciding factor either. I can express myself quite well in 2 other languages than my L1 but does that make me natives of those countries, no. You are right but I didn't argue that language was the decisive factor.
Settled intention and meaningful connections are. The latter must be weighed according to the prevailing climate and the totality of factors. So I ask again, the majority of his work was in Polish or German?

PP, he didn't need to cling to it. He wrote in German which is significant. Germans would fight Teutonism if it wasn't the right regime for them, that means nothing.
Copernicus may have resisted due to maternal pressure. Look at the Bosnian Serbs fighting with Serbs with no connection to Bosnia. They may have clung to one at the expense of the other but, in reality, they were both.
I guess the key question is, 'what's in a label?'. He is Polish by label but you could have been born in China to American parents. Are you still Chinese if you move back to America and study there for some time with a settled intention to stay?
I ask you, what is the deciding factor?
Crow, tha Apache must know his heritage and identity. Feeling isn't the decisive factor but it is one of them.

BB has some good points, though. Still, in PIFL, the position of the father takes precedence over the mother.

Poles hate Japanese?? Stop spouting, researchas. I know that to be false. The Poles have achieved a lot, though not quite on a par with the Scots ;) ;) Researchas, I'll happily list what the Poles have done.
They don't hate the Jews. They are largely indifferent.
