Life / Do colored immigrants in Poland function better than in Western countries? [295]

Today on the radio I heard that in one town in Germany there were no German lessons at school for 3 months due to the lack of teachers. But they are about to start soon because a new teacher has been found. However, it's not just about that but about the fact that in this school none of the students was bothered by the lack of German lessons, because as you can see, no one spoke German on a daily basis. Would something like this be possible in Poland?

It seems that PF is full of malcontents, i.e. people dissatisfied and complaining about everything. Optimists are clearly missing.

Why do Poles talk so badly about Poland?

Poles just like to complain. If you ask an American how he is doing, the answer is always - fine. If you ask a Pole how he is doing, the answer is always - he barely makes ends meet.

Go look & listen again.

I saw it again, they were talking about the Irish because they must have been so poor back home that they had to risk their lives on this construction site and about the Mohawk people, who surely were those Indians devoid of the vertigo of heights.

History / Enemies, Strangers, Friends. Poles and Germans. [82]

I think that the word "Strangers" best describes interpersonal German-Polish contacts. First, there is a real language barrier on the other hand, on the German side, there is an absolute lack of interest in Polish culture. For example, I cross the border in Świnoujście several times a year by car. Just across the border is the so-called (by the Germans) Polenmarkt. 90% of German "tourists" limit their stay in Świnoujście to this "Polenmarkt". They buy cigarettes and other products there, which they would buy cheaper and better if they traveled a few kilometers further into the city. Then they go to a restaurant in the "Polenmarkt", refuel at a gas station near the border and return to Germany. Absolute lack of interest in foreign (Polish) culture, etc. Only about 10% of German tourists dare to go further into the city, which is much more attractive than the tin booths at the "Polenmarkt". Real shame.

why they call it Polish?

Because "Polish" in this case is a badge of the highest quality.

it didn't start....

Ha,ha, it's their style, the old one didn't start often either. Anyway, their latest tank "Armata" died and couldn't start again on a parade in Moscow and had to be towed away few years ago.

Yes, they should have applied for visas at the Ukrainian consulate before the invasion, and at the border they should have had their passports stamped by Ukrainian border guards before they shot them. Then everything would be legal. 🤔

the only immigrants they seem to like are those from Russian territories.

It's not true, we also like Western immigrants, but there are too few of them. Few want to emigrate to Poland. And privately at work there are views of new colleagues from India and Sudan, it will be colorful. (colored).🤭

Coloured', 'non-white', like 1950s South Africa.

The name colored emigrants may not be the happiest one, but it reflects their cultural distinctiveness, and the Polish Prime Minister certainly thought about such emigrants in his speech. Anyway, being "colored" in rainbow colors is very fashionable today and also reflects a certain cultural difference, doesn't it?
