My grandparents both immigrated from Ireland and Poland (both were polish) but unfortunately I've never met anyone on that side of the family. I have light brown hair and hazel eyes. I also have very almond shaped eyes and high cheekbones, so many times people ask me if I am Eurasian , are almond shaped eyes also common? Also I am very tall over 6 feet are there a lot of tall women in Poland?
So it would appear that not all Poles are blond and blue eyed then.....a very small minority it would seem are maybe red headed ?
except for all the polish ladies (esp older ones) colouring their hair the most disgusting shades of red that i could have ever imagined - anything from carrot to some mixture of purple and ruby red - ouch!!
Rudy to falszywy or Rude to falszywe (the second one has an added hint of malice on the part of the speaker). It means "the red haired ones are dishonest".
Are all Poles blue eyed and blonde - NO, "the red haired ones are dishonest", eh, get a grip!! How many red-haired politicians do you know? Charles Kennedy maybe but he was a good and honourable man
my husbands from poland and looks italian black hair and dark brown eyes he tells me most polish people have dark hair, and that all americans seem to think poles are all blond lol
Americans made such an ideal description of typical polish girl's look and intelect mwahaha. though americans find it funny while polish girls think it's hot.
I think most Polish and eastern europeans (or slavs) have dark hair, just alot of people will know one Polak or slav that has blonde hair and blue eyes and think that they all do. Typical American.
I've been told by several people that I look more Italian than Polish lol. And Spanish women seem to really love me whereas Polish women don't seem that interested. Oh well, it's their loss. haha :)
I'm a brunette with brown eyes. My sister is strawberry blonde (orange lol) with blue eyes and my brother is a blonde, most of my cousins are blonde. My grandmother has black hair with blue eyes. We have a lot of range in my family, but people usually guess that we're Polish.
'How many Polish people are ginger?'
My sister. Also, my paternal grandfather (although he is no longer alive). My dad's facial hair grows in orange/ginger. :)
