History / POLAND: EASTERN or CENTRAL European country? [1080]
Merged: Do Polish people think of themselves as Eastern European or Central European?
I work with a Polish man, and when we were talking today, I said he was Eastern European. He corrected me, saying he was "Not Eastern European, but Central European".
This really surprised me, as I've never heard of Poland or Polish people being referred to as Central European before.
So, do Polish people generally think of themselves as Central European? Or is it just this one guy?
