prove it... with stats... from a credible sauce... such as heinz or hp

im sure some of them do - you obviously seem to think that makes it all right... you strange fellow

Life / Poles are not racist [873]


thats a good question

i was in a club last time in poland and there was a tall black guy enjoying himself on the dance floor with his friends. i watched a group of locals take turns to go on the dance floor and 'accidently' bump into him in an increasingly provocative way. i watched this for awhile deciding what to do about it [im not know for my diplomacy] before the guy got the message and left

i have a couple of uk black friends in gdansk - this is something they claim to experience on a frequent [almost daily, for those who want it quantified] basis and i have no reason to doubt them as i have witnessed it myself whilst with them. its usual subtle like the desription above - sometimes its simply 'we dont want you here... finish your beer and go'

Life / Poles are not racist [873]


unfortunately thats not true - this forum is rife with racism... which seems generally accepted despite that lack of supporting statistics


it might not be acceptable but its at least understandable

Life / Poles are not racist [873]

many poles display racist tendencies, which is hardly suprising given the degree of issolation the country has experienced in recent years and the lack of immigration in general

as with most nationalities, many brits also display racist tendencies which i imagine is an accepted truth for most people living in the uk, despite the lack of any statistics that might prove this

Life / Poles are not racist [873]


its not my intention to patronise or call you a twat but the liklehood of finding stats proving most people get angry after being slapped around the face with a wet kipper does not disprove the fact that most people would be pretty p*ssed off

asking for stats to prove such a thing is... pretty silly, regardless of how important stats 'from a credible source' seem to be before some people are able to accept things

im am not saying that poles are rasist, i am saying that its pretty silly to ask for stats in order to prove they are not

Life / Poles are not racist [873]

you missed the point dude - even after dandeanuk spelt it out for you

Life / Poles are not racist [873]


do we need stats to tell us that poland has some beautiful women or can we use our personal experience to answer this...?

can we conclude that because the likelihood of finding stats supporting this is approximate to the likelihood of finding stats telling us that polish people are rasist, that polish women are in fact ugly?

that would be reported incidents which is probably very relevent given that a substantial percentage of poland's ethnic population probably doesnt speak the language very well and almost certainly doesnt want to go to the trouble of reporting attacks
