Racism in Poland - the future

The opinion I quoted comes from the years when Polish immigrants started settling in GB.

theguardian.com/society/2007/apr/15/asylum.raceintheuk

claims of racist behaviour among Polish children and their parents. Headteachers reported that pupils were moving their desks away from Asian and black children in fear and saying that white people were superior.

In one case Polish children drew pictures of apes sitting in palm trees and claimed this was what their black classmates looked like, while in a school in Acton, west London, a group of teenagers hurled daily abuse at non-white staff and pupils.

A lot has changed due to contacts of Poles with the world but this racism is still there, hidden in souls and minds. Racists are especially males, women are more broad-minded.

Looks like everyone needs to drink some Brand-X

This is key.

Remember that a significant proportion of kids whose Polish parents came to Britain after 2004 came from villages or small country towns, often in the hinterland between Poznan and Szczecin or from the far South East where there weren't jobs and moved to urban places in the UK where the jobs were. The places they moved to were far more multicultural and it must have seemed to the teachers that the kids had stepped out of a Time Machine from the early 50s.

Fortunately, schools there have decade of experience combatting racism.

I've even heard Poles on Ryanair to the UK saying "I don't like them" ('them' meaning people with darker skin than them) in English. Hopefully their kids (who identify primarily as British now) don't share those sentiments.

With time and effort, attitudes change.

@pawian
In Poland, children were scared of "czarny lud/ black man" who would come and take them away. No one would have thought then that it could be racist.

While in Church they hear that Jews killed Jesus. And it is easy to guess why they are such racists and antisemites.

What church did you go to? I haven't heard anything like that. And anyway, Jesus wasn't even a Catholic.

Coz you don`t listen carefully. I do and heard it a few times already.
Besides, kids learn about it in religion class.

Isin't it obvious? Pawian is a pious member of the Church of Satan. (woke schism)

They're generally very right-wing aynrandy libertarians.

Sounds just like dear baboon to a T. He literally posted poor people shouldn't have children and the state shouldn't support them.
He's all for gay rights but if a gay teenager can't afford to pay rent, fekk em! he worked hard for his money after all. "I got mine so fekk you!"

Pawian, show your usual class and don't do this - unless in terms of endearment.


Are you, guys, talking about racism by individual people or by the government and other institutions?

Also, if by individuals, are we talking about the passive racism of avoidance or the active kind to inflict mental stress or physical harm?

My question still stands unanswered. Let's assume that Poland is known to be a racist country where non-white foreigners feel they are not welcome.

Where is the downside to Poland and Poles? How are fewer blacks, Asians, or Hindus a problem for Poles?


So what? Did you ever meet a person of any race who is not a racist in his soul? If so, how did you know he was not a "racist"? Did you ask?

what class?

I pray every day to be wrong...at least once...Never happens. In fact, every time I lift a rock things are ten times worse than I suspected.

That's why I can't stand Civics 101 bootlicking morons here.

Back to racism in Poland...What is the downside?

The downside is that Poles who stick to racist attitude and acts break Christian and Jesus` requests to love thy neighbour like yourself. Being racist, they doom themselves to Hell instead of Heaven. Then, when I go to Hell for my whole sinful life, I will have to meet those primitive racists. This will be ultimate torture for me.

OK, let me rephrase it...

What is the downside of racism in Poland in numbers? Here, on earth.

Before you reply, try to define the "racism" you and others are posting about.

Are we talking about feelings or actions? If actions...Criminal or just immoral?

There are both. Media regularly provide news about attacks on dark skinned foreigners. Even in such tolerant cities as Warsaw or Krakow.


Sorry, me ne comprehende diese idee about numbers for downsides. How kann I diese counten??? I would certainly love to give you hilfe but I kann`t.


That sounds really immoral. Where do you get these dirty ideas from???

@pawian


Well, being in hell is not being on holiday.

Exactly. I can agree to standard torture and suffering in the hellish land of the cursed. But do they have to torture me double with the presence, view and contact with Polish rightists and nationalists??? It is simply unfair.

I got. It's your way of saying: Don't ask me questions I am not able to answer.


Quote the last case. Where, when, who, and why.

I feel as if a Soviet NKVD officer was interrogating me before the execution. :):):)


Because das was a very strange question. I didn`t comprehende what you were sagen.

When somebody accuses Poland of racism the first step is to demand the definition of "racism" from the accuser. "Racism" could be anything.
The second step is to demand evidence. Third, who is guilty? And the last step is how to fix it.

That's what normal people do. My question was spot on. Why is racism a bad thing? Everybody does it.

I know facts and logical thinking are a bit*ch.

Is there a lamp shining directly in your eyes?

Racism happens when a Pole or Poless deem themselves superior to foreigners, especially dark-skinned people.


yes, Novi`s glaring eyes!!!

They are.

For one, Poles speak better Polish, make better Polish food, and better know Polish history and customs.

Do you know a reason why Poles should feel inferior to foreigners in their own country?

Please, no "equal" crap. Nothing is ever equal in nature.

.....but what if they are really superior to them?

Like this sort of thing:

Doubtless, this still won't be enough for you. Don't you have anything better to do with your sad and pathetic life other than to spread hate?

those need to be vetted. This sort of things are oft made up. Certain newspapaers are more prone than others to do that, or certain organizations. In newspeak fake news.

Today one cann't trust what they show or tell you on the news.

Do you I have to add a disclaimer for morons out there? sure some of them could the factual - we just don't know which are and which aren't without a proper vetting process.

Don`t be silly.

Hey, Feniks, since you are into love, do you want more black-skinned men in Poland or fewer?

Would you be saying this if those articles were praising Poles? I don't think so.

Whether you like it or not, racism still exists in Poland and in many other countries too. It's always due to a minority of people, it's not the norm and thankfully it is getting better.


I don't recall saying anything along those lines so don't try and put words into my mouth.
