Ive even seen Mexicans there???

Speaking of Mexicans, I take it everyone is ok with them celebrating their language and heritage in the US?

Not everyone. It is seen as a slight to American culture when others come here and ignore, discount or dismiss our customs while insisting that their foreign culture be embraced and celebrated. And they demand their lack of English speaking be accommodated. This lack of assimilation and expected accommodation is disrespectful. No other place would accept such from rude foreigners.

I don't feel that I am doing gods work here in Poland, I'm making money here, that's my motivation. Creating jobs and bringing money into the country is just a side product of what I set out to achieve

so its self motivated, same as if you were to go to another country and start a business,
admit that its for your pocket and not someone elses. bottom line your doing for yourself!!

same as our families left and came to America to do it for themselfs.. SAME THING!!!!

As for creating jobs and bringing money into the country, you havent done it yet? so
then shut up!! make your money and steal from those who need it most.
when you provide some proof of goodwill, you can then tell others that is your purpose
but if you there for the money,, join the crowd, everyone pays taxes , so stop using
stupid shyt to back your words up.. thats a requirement in every country.

doesnt mean your doing good for the country.. good luck with that future project!

you're all dumbasses if you think poles are the same category as russians. it's not racist...if you knew annything about polish/russian history you would know why the resentment towards russians from poles. and as far as considering myself american...sure..but polish first...i was born in the u.s. but unless it comes out somewhere that i have native american ancestry then i will never consider myself american first. and for whoever said that polish americans are a disgrace, your face is a disgrace. it's a disgrace to even think that you're polish yourself, bunch of lousy traitors... kaczynski was a hell of a better president then tusk or those other sell outs. FU

Personally I never answer the race question. Well, I actually wrote noyfb there somewhere. I know they're trying to "repair" rasism and discrimination of the past with "quotas." A modern form of racism and discrimination that some call affirmative action, while others refer to it as "positive" discrimination, revenge discrimination or reverse discrimination. Pick the term of your liking. I simply won't participate in that and won't answer such questions. If they ask for prefered language I write "Klingon".

Then you'd have to have Irish American, French American, etc... it'd be too complicated...

White = Caucasian as the theory is white people originated from the Caucusus.

However, yes I agree. Russia is rather mixed since you have Chechens, Uzbeks, Tartars, Mongols, Tajiks, etc. all claiming 'Russian' and many still do now. I have respect for others' cultures, but I'm not going to move to the West side of Chicago just beause I want to live in a 'diverse' area...I'll take my WASPy suburban bubble thank you very much.
