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

uhm - as usual, 'get out'.

racism in the UK is definitely my personal invention to cause you pain in exchange for the hospitality shown to my countrymen in your warehouses. Wake up.

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

Ksysia:
My friend 'Sandra' from Shanghai have tried working for them, too, and quit, too. She bought a house to live as a landlord, because she just couldn't stand the everyday attitude.

Evidently she likes the money they pay, or how else would she have afforded a house?

No, they tried not to pay. Evidently you think that all foreigner are poorer than the English? Or that one has to be starving to come to a country like yours? No, she asked Daddy for the money.

Ksysia:
My friend from last work, Damola, wanted to transfer her bank manager job to Britain. She came, and found that all the work she can get was cleaning.

Then she should have stayed in Africa.

That's all you have to say. you should have stayed out of Africa.

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?)

just go on and prove my point.

Ksysia:
I actually read that British wome were sent away from hospitals or made to go in labour on the steps of the hospital.

Where? proof or it didnt happen..(which it didnt)

And McCains hadn't killed their Maddie?

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

Just another lie she made up...blimey her nose must be HUGE! even for a Pole :D

Pull your head our of your hole, as advised by your countryman.

You may translate it as you wish the fact remains that it's constructed to mean blackie, and that if you call somebody black it's definitely to show the 'black' that you are better. I don't think I'm better and that excludes guilt. It's the same as to call Japanese people 'skośni' because of their eyes, while being dead envious of their cars and samurai. Racist is when you think you are better and others are worse.

Ciapati is when I spell it, and Ciapak is when I abbreviate it.

Many Polish people are racist, not so much the women but the men are.

I don't think that in Polish shops someone would cut the fabric for you unevenly just to show you you were and immigrant. Or I may get things wrong because of how the newspapers steam the situation up. I actually read that British wome were sent away from hospitals or made to go in labour on the steps of the hospital. If that happened to me, I would wonder if that was racist, but since that happened to a local, that might just show how disrespectful everyone is.

We have names for everyone, for ourselves as well. You are Angol, I am Polaczek, etc. Czarnuch is a name for Africans, sure. It's constructed with the same as mal-uch (little one), piec-uch (cosy one), smol-uch (soiled one), mieszcz-uch (city one). So it's not as bad as your version anyway. I can call that my favourite friend, or cat etc. Chapati is the name for Indians, a simple crib from their own language.

I may call you names, but do I tell you to get the f out? Or that you are lying? Or that you are worse? Or that I don't care what you think?

And yes, between the Indians and Poles in the UK it's really hard to communicate. The expectations are just too completely different.

Maybe people are racist towards you because you are a white christian and in the UK this is no longer acceptable.

I think that part of the problem is that we are white - they bring against us what they are prohibited to bring against non-white non-christians. Funny. they shouldn't have gone to those countries in the first place, so now there wouldn't be people coming to the capital of their own Commonwealth.

Normally its something like angalski

angielski is a normal word, polite word, meaning English

Don't be so stupid

another credit to the nation

you could never take someone to court

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

extremely racist

because we call the Enlglish Angole? That's anger.

mark - of course it's not the full picture. this can only be the picture that I'm able to give. and in my eyes the English are not as perfect as they like to paint themselves.

you are not there yet - not yet. For now the local radio only airs comments like ' I think that all of them should do community service, like sweeping the streets'. As it was not enough that I don't get the average pay.

I don't fully understand why, was it because you are Polish?

I think so - not directly racist, but she knows that Polans will not go to courts over some petty rude person's behaviours. So she was free to suggest to me that I'm not welcome. Or we can say that she was condescending because all our money are in a mutual account in a different bank, so she was allowed to be rude to poor people?

That might be an explanation - the English only respect force and money. If she believes I am a poor immigrant, she felt free to be as she pleased. And racism is just a dull explanation.

SeanBM

I would agree with you wholeheartedly - if it were true. But the thing is that with poor working Britons we get along fine. We grab a pint, call them mates, and make friends. The problem starts when there are unemployment inheritants on one side, and poor middle class on another. Poor middle class is capable of absolutely everything.

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!

When I was leaving for the UK I thought that they were normal people, a little similar to us, and generally polite. Now after 3 years I see that they in fact believe in racial issues, white supremacy, corporal punishment, tiered society and all other things that make up a fascist or a Nazi. No offence intended - just facts.

The things that they tell me straight in my face are just astounding:
-you Poles are a nation of slaves.
-you Poles are a little white, because you were controlled by Sweden and you got mixed.
-they are just Polish.
-you are Eastern European, so you should be on 16k max, you know...
-have you noticed how it's all controlled by Jews?
-Poles should be punished.
-******* Polish girl!

Those are just from my personal experience, and as I mentioned, I don't look very Polish. Imagine what happens to people who look African? My friend from last work, Damola, wanted to transfer her bank manager job to Britain. She came, and found that all the work she can get was cleaning. She ran out of money and eventually took it. She was cleaning in a bank, and all the high school drop-outs who worked in customer service where laughing heartily - 'even their bank managers wash our floors'.

That's why I don't work for any Briton. I have a small business. My friend 'Sandra' from Shanghai have tried working for them, too, and quit, too. She bought a house to live as a landlord, because she just couldn't stand the everyday attitude.

I am sure that the most popular answer under this thread will be: 'so get the f*** out'. Why? Because first, you need people to work in your big economy, then when they come, you tell them you don't need them, try to pay them less than minimum, and tell everyday that having taken the offer was some kind of a fault, a stupidity.

And that just may be true, judging from the 'guarantees' of Britain.

On the other hand - if spoken to directly the Brits are straightforward. And if one meets a genuinely nice person, they are usually so nice that one wants to shove them in the bushes and make sweet love to them.

Do they have split personalities?
