Travel / ARE POLISH NIGHTCLUBS UNSAFE? [11]

Just like anywhere else in the world, some are some are not.

If you are really concerned ask a local building inspector.

Language / Is the term 'Polak' derogatory?? [254]

Just out of curiosity, how often have you been called a polak?

I was under the impression that most Americans really don't care enough about Poles or Poland to actually use a slur against them.

That said, most of my friends are polaks and polkas...

I was never called a polack , there were a couple times where someone was telling me something about polish people and referred to them as polacks, without realizing that I am a Pole.That's when I educate and give them a warning.

I find the term Polack very offensive. I let the person know right away the correct term to call a polish person , a pole. Calling polish people polacks is the equivalent of calling jewish people kikes in my opinion. I let them know that using that word around me is just asking for trouble.
