Life / Poland: The land of -isms [63]

Not at all...I have a great job here. I'm a private English teacher, have a good salary and very good employment benefits. Employment is the least of my worries here.

Anyway....that's that. My ticket booked and I'll be home soon. Thanks for your input. Best of luck and goodnight.

I also know other

I also know a few foreigners who live here- but only a minority of them speak or understand the polish language. Once someone is able to understand what is being said their perspective changes. I guarantee you that 98% of verbal abuse that I have encountered has been from people three expect me not to understand what is being said.

At what point did I say that I had been refused service? PLEASE read my comments thoroughly before defending such behaviour. I am not attacking you so please don't take it so personally and please do not try to invalidate my experiences. This is not a debate or a "war of the patriots." I just don't want anyone else to experience what I have over the last 2.5 years.

Trust me it happened... plain as day right in the bar that is beside the golf course by Lake Malta. We were in fact just passing through and I for one was not interested in sticking around to ensure if the two massive men that told me to "spierdalaj m******" where in fact the proprietors of the establishment. My boyfriend's and my safety was my priority at the time. You may find it impossible to believe but it happened. This is my Polish reality. I am just sharing my experience.

Life / Poland: The land of -isms [63]

I'm a multiracial woman from the UK who moved to Poland a while back to live with my polish partner. I am a qualified teacher and left a good job behind to come here and start anew. Since day one I have been constantly reminded of the fact that I am an outsider - from the all but too casual 'point and stare' to tonight's occurance of a group of young people behind me on the street shouting "biały siła " (white power) or even occasions where my boyfriend and I have been told to leave an area or establishment because of the colour of my skin. This has become an everyday battle for me....I cannot believe how intolerant and downright inhuman people here can be. I am not anti-polish -the only reason I came here was because I had meet so many good Polish people at home. To be honest they probably left for the same reason. I don't see things changing anytime soon. There are a lot of good people here but the proportion of racist idiots is too high.

Love / Are polish guys open to go out with other races? [11]

From my experience as a British born & bred woman of Caribbean descent who is very happy with her Polish boyfriend, race and nationality is irrelevant. What is most important is that you have things in common and ultimately, are attracted to one another.

They'll be tonnes of people who form 'opinions' but are they really that important to you??

Do as you would with any other interest, regardless of ethnicity ;)
