Genealogy / Mixed-Blood Poles in America (Do we count?) [118]

You have no control of what people think of you. What's important is not what people think of you, but what you think of yourself. Biggest fear that white Americans have of Black Americans is the gun violence. Once they get past that you'll be fine. Be kind and friendly and people will return in kind. The Polish last name will be a curiosity for most. Use it to your advantage. It makes you a more interesting person. BTW, when it comes to race Polish people are more open minded than a lot of other nationalities.

No one really called be anything offensive in school. I grew up in a hispanic neighborhood. They all either thought I was one of them or knew I was mulato.
