UK, Ireland / Ive been in the UK for 6 days to relocate and im going back to Poland. [281]
thank you! and thanks to seanus and others as well for responding in such a positive way to this absolutely unprovoked attack on mine and my wife's peace.
to those who have said how did i know they were polish -- well, i have been around polish people for some time, and you get to know the nuances and verbage they use.
and yes, i do know that lots of poles were killed off by the nazis, but the poles back-stabbed their own friends and neighbours during the nazi times by giving them away to the SS squads, in some cases, for just a single bottle of wine!
and some say that i must have met some good poles -- well, in my workplace, our employers hired some polish builders to do some work, and one of them said to me and my white friend, "...london is ************* my poland, no black people..only white....very good!", so you tell me where are the good poles.....?
honestly, i am not singling out the polish here -- its just that the people who carried out this racist attack on us were poles. yes, i do know that there is racism in every society -- for gods sake, if you were to put a batch of black people from different parts of africa in one place, there would probably be racism against one tribe and another, so that is not the point i am making.
to abuse someone, whoever he/she may be, white, black, green or brown, without provocation of any kind, is vile. and if it carries a connotation of race, then doubly so.
