History / Poles and Russians -- love-hate relationship? [209]


I'm sorry, what I meant to say is that I do not joke in a offensive manner. There are slightly offensive jokes, and there are very offensive and cruel jokes. I do not use the latter form. What I also wanted to say is that I don't resort to namecalling especially if the person I'm talking to is neutral. It was 3 or 4 AM in the morning at the time I posted so you can imagine some degree of inability to explain myself :)

Thanks everybody who answered =) I found a video that is somehow related to chauvinism. Hey it can be applied to Russians too :)

History / Poles and Russians -- love-hate relationship? [209]

Was immediately called "rusek" and "kacap" after disclosing the fact that I'm Russian while trying to communicate to Poles in their language. Is there some kind of new-wave anti-Russian nationalists? In that game mostly younger people spend their time rather than "over twenty-five, employed and married" people. I heard something about young patriotic organisations.

It freaking hurts. Never called anybody in my life an ethnic slur unless they'd called me first.
So tell me Poles, why shall I carry a shame any government on this territory deserved in the past three centuries??? I was brought up to be friendly despite of the race or nationality. I do not joke about Ukrainians, Georgians, Poles, black people, whatnots.
