Actually he is not.
He was born in New York and Grew up in England.
So, like me, he is an Anglo Pole.
So my opinion is equal to his.
You are basing your views on your knowledge of post communist Poles.
Zamoyski and I had little influence from them but more from the Polish exiles,who very much showed their passionate and romantic side.Which is why I can't understand his comments.
Communism did kill some of the true Polish character,but that character lived on in exile.
@Atch
I think you miss that understanding.
Which has never effected Polish exiles.
Pawian ignored the relevance of the Polish diaspora.
But it is huge.
Population of Poland 40 million.
Polish Diaspora 20 million.
1.USA 10 million.
2.Brazil 3 million.
3.Germany 3 million.
4.UK 1 million.
5.Canada 1 million.
6.France up to 1 million.
7.Argentina 500,000
8.Lithuania 260,000
9.Australia 180,000
10.Norway 108,000.
Pawian,never ignore the Polish diaspora.....You need them.
Well now, he is Polish

He's quite right in my view when he says that Poles are neither romantic nor passionate

He states very early in his book that Poles are not passionate people.
That told me straight away that he did not understand Poles.

@Colormum
I suspect that you are American
Polish Americans are a different breed to the rest of the Polish Diaspora and tended to play by different rules.
They made up words,some of them very English sounding.
And the fact that your dad was American and only your Grandfather was Polish, enforces that.
The bottom line is, I don't think that term has any connection to Poland at all.
Sorry, but you are just not very Polish.

There is a difference between Pole Ams and Anglo Poles.
The Yanks wanted to simplify or maybe Americanise things whilst the Brits held on to tradition more.

So true....much as they hate to admit it and despite the fact that many immigrants from many nations made America great, the founding fathers were all British.
Americans can never escape that fact.
It never ceases to amaze me how much Americans are enamored by British Royalty.

Not an aspect of Poles that I have ever known.
Yes, Poles can get very emotional, but uncontrollably?
I think it is more a Jewish and Middle Eastern trait.

He is a huge talent.
A composer of classical and Jazz music,a great violinist and a founding member of one of Poland's greatest Jazz bands.

This is the kind of "Smooth Jazz" Debski can be more associated with.

Only once but I speak to Hungarians here and in the USA.
Just because Orban's govt has put up posters and maps in Budapest does not mean that is the national feeling.
The only concern I have ever felt from Hungarians is about Transylvania.
Nowhere else.
