Genealogy / Do you think all Slavs are white? [178]

Mate you are an absolute retard. Poles range from pale skin to dark olive, hair colour from blonde to jet black...

What about the tartar blood that has assimilated into Polish etc. What about the gorals, my understanding they derive from Vlachs or romanians??? I don't know much about genealogy but I can make presumptions on what I see around me.

I know Polish people who look like light mongoloids, I know polish people who look like pale sweeds and I know poles who look darker than Mediterraneans, Myself and my family included

EDIT: what about mongols occupying poland and in 1600s poland bordering the crimean tartar

History / POLAND: EASTERN or CENTRAL European country? [1080]

I meant it more in the way of the Western/Eastern world than just Europe. When you hear "West" what comes to your mind? America, France, England... not much of a difference. But when you hear "East" it could be Russia, Persia or even China and Japan - so very different. Of course, Poland is culturally hard to distinguish from Western European countries but being listed alongside diverse Eastern cultures is an honor.

What are you talking about? We are slavs. We are eastern peoples. You're saying we are closer to the french than the russians? I think the term eastern europe should encompass all countries in the warsaw pact even if some are in European union.

Genealogy / Polish looks? [1462]

When I mean dark I don't mean Mediterranean dark. I think Polish skin varies. All the polish people I know tan very well (except for the very pale ones). For example I have pale olive skin, my oldest sister has VERY dark olive skin and my other sister is light.

It then all depends on the region of Poland probably. I'd imagine South are most tanned/dark but then again my family and friends are from North Poland and still exhibit darker skin.

I do disagree on we have a similar complection as germans, we are darker then germans but i agree with you that we are darker than east slavs.

When I say swedes it's from polish-swedish wars but the impact wouldn't be much I guess then yes?

When you say Magyars don't share genetics with Poland I think this is not true, I can't find the link at the moment but there was talk that Hungarians share a very common genetic profile and we both have the highest incidence of R1 in europe (don't quote me on R1)

History / Questions about Polish borders, Galicia and Cossacks. [50]

Can anyone tell me of the history of Poland when our land contained Ukraine/Belarus etc and further east/south. Why is it that Poland is much smaller than it once was.

2. Why is Galicia now in Ukraine?

3. I've ready many places that where Polish Cossacks who are obviously lesser known that Ukranian/russian cossacks. Can any one tell me of them because there doesn't seem to be much info about them.

Thanks

Genealogy / Any Polish Tatars here? [95]

How large was tartars impact on Poland? How many people today would be descendants of tartars? Do other eastern european countries have a larger tartar influence/intertwined history?

Genealogy / Polish looks? [1462]

Polish look very slavic in my opinion,some look like Russians some like Czechs and some like Serbs but you seldom see Pole looking like Germanic.

I agree 100%. I think polish people are darker than most east slavs, it's like we have a yellowish olivey skin tone naturally, noticed mostly brown hair/dark brown but a lot of dark blonde too.

You have to remember though Polish mixed with Tartars, romanians, ukranians, hungarians, sweeds, germans etc over the ages

Life / Alcohol problems of Polish people [141]

I think all slavs as a whole have a lot of alcohol related problems in the culture. Almost everyone in my family is alkaholik.

News / Poland's Organized Crime [58]

Why is it that you never really hear about Polish Organized crime? I've been reading up and that there is a large Polish Mafia presence in Chicago and other areas of America and also in Europe for example:

"In crime, East will meet West. Organised syndicates from Poland and the Baltic
States have been active beyond national borders. In Germany, Polish organized crime
groups are the second largest non-German organized crime group after Turkish
groups."

Does anyone have any more information particularly about the Pruszkow mafia and other Mafioso

Genealogy / Polish looks? [1462]

Generally I'd say Polish people have that Eastern look that to any outsider looks very similar and looks "Eastern European" for example (Bulgarians, Polaks, Hrvats, Russians etc). People who are in this group of people I think can distinguish fairly well who is who, with that being said I think we do share the look with these other Slavs sometimes it's very noticeable sometimes it's not. Also people saying Poles are blonde pale etc, i've said this numerous times from all of the Poles I know the general haircolour is brown with the few occasions of black (very dark) and blonde (very light).

Genealogy / Why are some Polish people dark complected, and others very light [511]

How do you figure philly boy since I find the most common hair colour in POland is brown. I have never seen a pole with Scandinavian / Nordic features only a few with German but that was because one of their parents was germ

Genealogy / The typical Polish look, or all Eastern Europeans [656]

harrisonmcmanus your views are distorted. I would say most common colour is Brown, varying in all shades, but there's still fair bit of blonde, black etc. Whenever I go down to the local Polish Club, it is very hard to find somone with blonde hair and who fits in with your idea of what a typical pole looks like. I have noticed that we have All colours of eyes from brown, blue, hazel, green etc. We are certainly darker than the Germans lol

History / What do Poles think about Turks? [761]

I like the Turks.

I read this and thought it was pretty cool:

"The contacts with Ottoman Turkey in the 17th century brought many new words, some of them still in use, e.g. jar (deep valley), szaszłyk (shish kebab), filiżanka (cup), arbuz (water melon), dywan (carpet), kiełbasa (sausage)"

Genealogy / Are all Poles blue eyed and blonde? [451]

Ok. Seriously, all the Poles I know except a small few have brown/black hair. Everywhere I look, I look on Polish TV, they all have brown/black hair unless dyed.

I know this is just one example but here:

I don't see any blondes?

I look at my family. some are dark some are paler but we all have dark hair. I look at the Polish communities, all dark hair and when I go to Poland. Same!

EASTERN. All this talk about picking out a pole in a bar full of Germans? ********. I've only met 3 poles with blonde hair. You can pick a slav a mile away.

Genealogy / Are all Poles blue eyed and blonde? [451]

??? I've never met a pole with blonde hair blue eyes and I have met MANY. I've only met a few dirty blonde/light brown hair which is fairly common amount slavs.

Black/brown is the most prodiminant colour in all slavs and a lot tend to have darker features. these blonde ppl must be scandinvians or somthing
