What similarities would you say there are between Poles and Mexicans?

I will say that Mexican cuisine is more enjoyable than Polish cuisine.

Without a doubt.
Polish food is very bland in comparison to Mexican food.

I just think that letting in 1.2 Million eastern Europeans in 2 years was a mistake.

You can always elect better ruling class.
Or are you suggesting that the Brits are as powerless as we were under communism? That would be shocking!

Poles and Mexicans in the USA especially Chicago get along quite well. There are many similarities - both are Catholic, oftentimes 1st gen/2nd gen immigrants, work in the trades especially construction and remodeling, hard working, hard drinking, many aren't too keen on assimilating and learning English, etc. That's all I could think of from the top of my head. Many Poles and Mexicans work together in construction and home remodeling. A lot of Mexicans view white Americans as lazy, physically weak, etc., but not against Poles. They know Poles are arguably the only whites that roll up their sleeves, work dirty jobs with a smile, and are physically strong. Even though Mexicans tend to vote Democrat due to their pro-immigration views, most are quite socially conservative.

The first difference you see is how fat deposits itself on the Latinas vs the Polish women. Not that guys are any better.
Which fat version is less disgusting is a personal opinion. The statistical truth - aside from the fact that fat is ugly, not natural, and that it can kill you - is that one has to make a deliberate effort to get fat.

That is why I have to be dragged to a Polish buffet. After we leave, my wife predictably says, "don't let me do it again". Mexican food is heaven in comparison.

In fact, building up fat deposits is completely natural. Ever seen a squirrel in late fall?

Yes, but I never saw a morbidly obese squirrel. Only humans and their victims - their pets and kids - get that way.
If you weigh a squirrel once a month, the dot connecting line will fluctuate seasonally. Fatsos' weight line is always on the way up until they die or get stapled.

What do you expect when your diet consists of burgers, diet coke and the occasional chocolate cake?

Just what I described. Plus heart attacks, cancer, diabetes 2, an early death, and a relief to the Social Security beneficiaries like me, since dead people can vote in America, but don't get their monthly retirement checks.

They share fate. Pope of Rome and Patriarch of Constantinople, whoever manage first, would like to see them merged in one people. Regarding that, neither Pope, neither Patriarch, with their universalism, don`t differ from grand mufti of Mecca and Medina and from main rabbi of this world.

We have some same words but with different meanings like: pan. Pan means Mr in Polish and in Mexican/Spanish it means bread

Just as I thought.
Nothing in common.

Wrong. Both have to get across the water on the way here. Theirs just happens to be narrower and unfortunately has no man eating sharks.
