UK, Ireland / And you wonder why there is Anti-Polish feeling in the UK [187]

So we are left with a situation where the program contained material from someone the BBC effectively said was unreliable yet you still think that it painted a realistic picture, I find that particularly odd.

I lost a significant amount of respect for BBC after that circus before the Euro Tournament. Didn't Sol warn about returning from Poland/Ukraine in a coffin?

Garbage. He had never even stepped foot in the country.

Life / Poland: The land of -isms [63]

The reason you aren't treated as an outsider in the UK is because the UK no longer has a heritage or culture. It's now a watered down version of many mixes. That's exactly what Poles are trying to avoid. Who cares how wealthy you are when you hate or can't communicate with your co worker, neighbor or everyday people on the street (Western Life).

Genealogy / I am looking for an African guy in Krakow, I dated [73]

@Amathyst

The point is that only a female willing to sleep with an African would also sleep with a guy after 2 dates without knowing his name, location or background

Life / Poland: The land of -isms [63]

but 99% just want to work

Even if you counted dealing drugs, your number is laughable. Why are there so many more blacks on welfare than other races? Let me guess, the system holding them down? The same system that seems to be working just fine for every other group of immigrants. Overwhelming majority of blacks in the USA were born & raised in the country....generations of roots in the country. Why are they continually over stepped by immigrants without the English language? Chance occurs once the excuses stop and that is not happening any time soon in the Land of Political Correctness.

I really don't gei it, why people coming here expect Poland to be just like the West or the US.

The majority of this globe is homogeneous. The nations that roamed the globe raping and murdering are no longer homogeneous. Go figure......

And actually Poland has less racists than Americans because logically there are less race issues in Poland....because it's homogeneous. How can a Pole be racist at something they've never met or encountered.

European homogeneous country that needs to progress in order to function better as a future multicultural nation.

Insisting that Poland needs to change into a multicultural nation is no different than me stating the USA needs to genocide their non Whites and return to being a homogenous country. Both are extremes.

It's been said before and will continue being said. If you don't like it....stay out.

Language / Should I learn Polish or she learn English? [83]

Smurf is right

Ultimately her learning English will occur much easier than you learning Polish. I've seen people learn English from watching television and movies. Another aspect people ignore is that there are sooooo many variations of English. British, American, Australian, even in the USA alone you have different styles and accents. So expectations and standards are very low. English is basically the immigrant language. This just isn't the case with Polish but fortunately it is changing and you will receive nothing but encouragement and help from Poles seeing you try.

Love / Younger Polish girl 24 dating old man [21]

If your father has wealth, yeah she is probably after it. Atleast her Polish family is trying to be pro-active against it instead of waiting for the pay day to come

Love / Younger Polish girl 24 dating old man [21]

Both parties are technically correct

- They failed raising a normal women with values (Being a widow might have a part in this though. Once you've lost love once, whats a 2nd time)

- A fool and his money are soon departed. Your dad is on his death bed and wants one last fun hurrah. It is his money, he should do what he wants with it

Love / Advice Please! Meeting my Polish boyfriend's parents!! Gifts, customs... [105]

The tea is a great idea. Practicing a few Polish sayings is also a great idea. I'm willing to bet their biggest issue is that their family tree will no longer be Polish. That's just overwhelmingly how mixed cultured relationships end up, especially half way across the globe. Show that you are willing to learn some phrases and this will give them the impression they still have hope of Polish speaking grand children. Ultimately that will go much further than any materialistic objects, American ones no less. Most Americans take pride in how multi-cultured and mixed pot the USA is but Poles take pride in being partitioned, slaughtered and then occupied for 50 years and yet in control of their own destiny today. To see those sacrifices quote "Wasted for a foreign husband" is quite difficult to stomach.

You don't have to get wasted BUT definitely don't attempt to take a high road in terms of alcohol drinking while you are there. It is also in your advantage to get the parents drunk and with that will come out their feelings/concerns. Because Polish culture is probably more conservative/reserved/old fashioned on the first meet up than what you encounter in the USA. But once the door is open, you will be pleasantly surprised. The tough exterior is to run off those that aren't in for the long haul.

Are you, the daughter or her family into spicy/hot food? Taking some hot sauce etc with you would be cool I think. There isn't much of that in Central Europe. It can be your way of showcasing the benefit of the USA melting pot. Because although they said bring Hersheys.....there is much better chocolate over there. Maybe spicy potato chips that you can "have for yourself" but share with them.

News / What is wrong with Poland that Poles emigrate? [167]

Have a Polish relative living in the UK and all I see from her on Facebook is her Polish friends.

Influx of Polish children into schools has 'helped improve British pupils' grades'

Study suggests children from the Eastern European country help boost standards in mathematics
Could be due to better 'work ethic' of their parents
Eastern European parents have complained British schools do not challenge their children

Language / IS "MURZYN" word RACIST? [686]

Merged: Is using "Murzyn" politically correct in Poland?

Why not just use "black"? Wikipedia states

According to the Dictionary of the Polish Language, 'murzyn' means somebody with black skin. Informally, it can also mean:
Somebody anonymously doing work for somebody else;
Somebody with a dark brown tan;
A hard working person forced to do hard labour.

This leads me to assume murzyn is the rough equivalent of negro? So using czarny is more correct

Language / IS "MURZYN" word RACIST? [686]

Good point Legend. I guess the rule I always use is how would you describe the individual out of a group of people. In that sense why not use the simple black? I think this notion always makes it safe when it comes to ethnicity like the point you made.

USA, Canada / To move back to Poland from the USA or not to move back....that is the question [119]

Many people have moved back to Poland or went to other parts of Europe.

Spot on post. IMO, if you aren't wealthy or non-white then Europe has the higher standard of living for you.

Especially if you have or plan on having children on the way, USA is a rotting society centered around manipulating people. You will fight an uphill battle raising a child being told by everyone around them that selfish individualism is the way to happiness. If you treasure more to life and want to have grand children down the line that you are proud of....you know where to go. And let's be honest, if things don't work out then there will be a lonely home in a gated community in the USA waiting for your return.

News / Skins vs anarchists in Warsaw [93]

Yeah, Bóg, Honor, Ojczyzna.
I don't know where the honor is in destroying what your ojczyzna has built, and I certainly don't know what Bóg would support that.
Terrorist mindset.

Some rainbow crap built in front of a Church? F-that. Poles have balls unlike Western society.

No, I mean the larger march, also the one which saw not a single arrest and the one which featured the real Polish patriots, not the neo-Nazi scum who would have been first in the queue to collaborate with the Germans in 1939.

Zero arrests during these difficult times? Says all you need to know about the "crowd" there. Bunch of Western sell-outs. They are most likely children of Communist sympathizers following the 2nd World War.

Life / Why are Polish people so obsessed with race? [160]

Polish Federation has issues with guys that have Polish last names and speak Polish. There is no way in 20 years there would be as much of a change as you describe. Maybe when I'm on my death bed, half the roster will no longer carry a Ski last name.

Fk the editing is annoying. Scratch that post above

Poles wouldn't sell out their children in exchange for commercial sports success. Seeing young white Polish kids with flags painted on their faces cheering for a Non-Pole is a very rare sight for a reason.

And the rare occasions it occurred was downright sickening. We may lose but we lose together. What is the reward in winning when you can't even share it with your own?

UK, Ireland / Former minister admits UK messed up on immigration [78]

Few thoughts:

- Poles, along with the rest of Europe stop immigrating to the USA a couple decades ago
- But those that do, usually leave their entire lives and culture behind. That is not the case in England which is only a couple countries away.

- Mexican-American, African-American or Polish-American are all worse than natives (Mexicans in Mexico, Poles in Poland etc) For example so many Poles living in the USA turn into materialistic loving wiggers. Unless I met them at the University, work or church. Then they are simple minded idiots like the rest of the American population.

If that is some kind of "dream". Whatever.

Life / Why are Polish people so obsessed with race? [160]

There's nothing to say at all, is there? Racism is all about insecurity.

Says the guy whose probably met a hand full of non Whites in his entire life.

Leave topics like racism for individuals who actually interact with different races on a daily basis. People aren't born racist. Racism is based mostly on personal experience. As in the only black guy in my class always wears shorts/pants around his knees forcing every single other individual to see what underwear he's wearing that day. Every single fkn day. While the rest of the class a mix of Asians, Europeans and South Americans dress like adults. As in the only people ignorant enough to bring their babies to a class lecture are black. As in their arrogant attitude even though they've never been anywhere, never done anything in their life. As in their ****** temperament while everyone else is doing the same work, during the same time and under the same guidelines.

But yes, I'm just insecure.

People aren't born racist. It comes from insecurity, unhappiness with oneself and fear of life.

So what? Does the fashion habits of others upset you often?

So what? The guy is obviously a monkey if he doesn't understand the concept of clothes.

Haha where are you getting all this self hate crap from? So when blacks call each other the n-word, it's out of insecurity.
