Both you and the troll you quote have obviously never been to this part of the world.
Wow just wow
WHO is the combative know-it-all
trollhere? Nice uncalled for attacks, dude. Neither the stubborn subscribers to Tartar influence theory nor myself have said any name calling. Congrats on being first. And one has to wonder why actual polish born Poles living in Poland don't post here often. Only the curious, the ex-pats and the "I live here so I am POLISH expert types. My fiance humors me, he calls it the trolly political site. He wouldn't be caught dead here.
You take two different views A) One thinking there is tartar influence everywhere and B) another , myself, saying a tilted or slanted eye shape is not unique nor automatic reason to call a look asian.; roll them to one; then sling insults. NIIIICE! Bravo!
I am surprised you didn't kibitz how dorked up my paragraph was because the insert function disaster and infer that would be reason to assume my age, education, experiences and exposures to other cultures. Or was that coming? Wanna correct my NICKNAME next? It has a history and it IS my nickname despite being female.
People like you are what make these type of forums stagnant and unpleasant because you are busy name calling, being rude and in the meanwhile not imparting ANY HELPFUL INFORMATION/MEDIA/HISTORY
You are correct I have NOT been to Poland. Yet.
I have only been in the general area of Europe, to be fair. I have stayed with family in the Czech Republic and Germany during my growing up years and speak with them often. Skype via video often. Exchange thoughts, photos and questions often.
But YOU have no right to say you know what is in my head or what my following comments might have been.
I was NOT even close to saying the whole region, much less country looks like a mere 22 people or for that matter a half dozen unrelated friends.
My point was that my fiancee's very old lineage (registered) did NOT look at all asian just because they have almond eyes. I DID not say his family has
slanted eyes, though one of his BBF's does. I said almond shape with high cheeks, which one could take as slanted if they have not seen a lot of ethnic types.
My now deceased MIL had a tilt to her eyes, her fathers mother who was of tarter descent had very slanted. She as Russian immigrant. Her parents were Russian. Their Parents were Russian
Palpebral slant is a SEPARATE PHYSICAL FEATURE from epicanthal fold BTW; FYI. Look it up... anti-mongoloid palpebral slantBut maybe you could point out nicely and go source it to be more expert on how highly unlikely secret mongul blood would stay viable when breeding back to the original genotype for the past the past 5 centuries after all that was invading stuff was put to rest (unless they were already admittedly Tarters who made great sauce to go on raw meat...right?)
Or that areas most effected by the Monguls were Southern areas like Silesia? Krakow?
****disclaimer.. like hearing history, knows bits and bobs, but have not researched Polish History . My roots are in Bohemia*
