Life / Polish people and racism. [943]

I am guessing he meant people of color other than lily-white...

From my experience, there's plenty of racism in Poland.

I'm a Polish Jew, grew up in Trojmiasto.
Visited last in 2006, and the reactions of the great majority of people were even nastier than what I remembered from my school days. At least during komuna they tried to hide their anti-semitism somewhat.

True, there are Poles that are color and religion-blind. But sadly, there's not enough of them.

Julie,

you are absolutely right that people are people. Good, bad and indifferent.
But I also grew up as a Jew kid in Poland, and let me tell you, as soon as the others found out why I wasn't going to the First Communion, my life was hell. I heard enough jokes about the difference between a load of cabbage and a load of Jews to last me several lifetimes.

Highschool was no different. I learned to shut up and bear it, and eventually to hide my Jewish side. It wasn't just my fellow students, my HS Polish teacher was a total c*nt, Hitler would have been real proud of her.

Two years ago, we hosted a "nice" young Polish couple at our home, English teachers both of them, when they found out I was Jewish, those as*hats refused to eat my food, and went to a hotel.

A few weeks ago I found the NK portal and joined my old HS class. And even after 17 years, the hatred started to pour in. Of course, my success in life was undeserved, because everybody knows that Jews succeed only thanks to the secret Jewish organizations that control this world...

And you know what, the more abuse my fellow Poles hurl at me when they find out I'm Jewish, the more Jewish I am determined to be. F*ck 'em!

what victimhood? Pointing out the stupidity of some as*hats makes me a victim?
What world do you live in?

I feel your pain...
I went to uni with a disenfranchised Rockefeller, she didn't have it easy either...

Grzegorz, you're an idiot, exactly like that ones I met IRL. And you're not even trying to be funny! damn dude! Don't know any Jew jokes? What kind of anti-semite are you?

And to the rest of you.
I am Polish, have PL passport, speak Polish as my mother language. if that disqualifies me from being on a Polish forum, then fine have it your way.

And for the record, I can't stand Kosinski, what a self-righteous prick!

My post was not meant to be provocative, it simply explained how it was in the 70s and 80s. Who knows, maybe Trojmiasto was the hotbed of anti-semitism during those times.

Glad to hear Dariusz that your experiences were different.

And yeah, even as an 8 yo (though in Gdynia they used to do FC when you were 10) you know you're a tad bit different when all your friends go to religion classes and you don't.

I have many Polish friends who don't give a flying f*ck through a rolling donut about a person's religion or skin color. But as evidenced by this discussion, plenty of Poles still do.

LOL!

Life / Hepatitis C in Poland...please help. [59]

Actually, in a very perverse way that developmentally disabled person might be right on target in that a gay organization probably knows who/where does the anonymous HIV testing.

Sad, but true.

Grzegorz,
I didn't make anything up.
Go, talk to Lukasz. We took it outside and clarified a few things yesterday.
