Poles are not racist [873]

Good points you raise here. My girlfriend is Polish and has been here, in the UK, for almost 4 years now.
She wants to make a life for herself here and is learning the language, and making an effort ot integrate. By the same token, some of her house mates are only here to work, speak little, if any, English and make no effort to integrate. Why should they? They're only here to work, not to make a life for themselves. For what it's worth, I don't have a problem with that.
I think many Brits fail to make the distinction in this respect. Largely, because they don't understand that most migrant workers do not intend settling here.
