Kashubians are nation in Poland? [124]
Torq“Really? I've never met a Kashubian border guard in my life and I've travelled
through the region on countless occasions for over 20 years now.”Border was maybe the wrong word, but I hope that you could imagin what I was talking about.
“Yeah - just like Górale, Mazurzy, Kurpie, £emkowie, Warmiacy, £owiczanie etc. etc.
Are they not Poles either?”If they have their own languages and allways kept their traditions of course they are not.
“I think Kaszubi are very much aware of their identity, just
like Mazowszanie or Krakowiacy - there's nothing wrong with their identity.”If you really think so you should take you time for an other 20 years of travelling through Kashubia and ask Kashubian people if they know a few things about the Kashubian culture and how they would categorize theirself. You’ll see quickly how much they are “aware of their identity”.
“Well, I don't. It wouldn't serve Europe well if we were to have hundreds of tiny
statelets of every historical region in our continent.”Of course it wouldn’t serve Europe, but all those small states are the “real face” of it.
“wliź se na blize i zliź ale nie bredź jak potłuczony.”Very impressiv, Torq. How much time did you needed to write it? Did you even wrote it by your own?
ZIMMY“Speaking only for myself, I've always considered them 'Polish-light'. You know, like the difference between regular and skim milk?”Ah, I see. So Dutchmen, Englishmen etc. are in your opinion 'German-light', right? I know a few Dutchmen and they wouldn’t like that, ZIMMY. Czechs also … especially Czechs!
“C'm here and sit down and have a piwo on me, have two. Tell us about your failure to adjust to the other kids at school.“Hmm, there was no failure at school… Do you talk maybe from your own experience right now?
