Are Polish People Racist?

i agree.i never said that poland is an idle place to live in but it is not the 3world country as you said in a few ocassions.there is still corruption,spending public money on private things,bad politics and even drunks :)there in poland btu not to degree you have said it is.that's all.


i am a very good example:)

It should be small because there are very few black people,asians,africans,muslims in Poland.Listen,England is the 4th most crowded country in the world where different races live very closely together-not far apart like USA,Australia,New Zealand.Yes,you might hear some racist comments but the situation is much better here than any other European country(and better than Australia).

is it ? I think that it is often your reserved upper-lip attitude. I think that british have sometimes problems in expressing yourselves ( especially in confronation situation) always smile on the face and moan behind back. I am not nasty or malicious just twhat I noticed. But yes England is so densy with people from all over the world. I live in peterborough and sometimes you get to city centre and struggle to hear people speaking English.

My friend has little child and she went to park last weekend - she said "I am not racist by park was full of foreign people i felt nearly intimidated in my own country"

She told me - you at least can go to Poland but me where I am to go it is my country?

I think taht if emigration will grow here so quickly british people will get more and more frustrated and one day just blow up.

I Poland- we don't have so many emigrants and I wouldn't say we are very rasist but yes you can sometimes hear some remarks.

We seem to be quite happy with visitors from west but not so much from east ( or Africa)

Yes,I agree with most of what you say.The problem of course is with the government that has allowed this.

You are lucky you have so few africans and asians living in Poland, make sure you keep it that way, or they will bring all the problems of their own inferior cultures with them to Poland.

we are fully aware of that,thanx.

I didn't mean a third world country literally as per United Nations definition.
I was meaning poland has a lot of way to go to get on level with western countries, The biggest problem as I see it is wages and conditons, wages need to be at least three times more. keep in mind some goods in poland are as expensive or more in Poland than overseas. working conditons, awards, and OH and Safety need to be established, once people have a affordable lifes lifestyle issues such as corruption, drunkedness will just dissipate.

One other area is improved social security ie unemployment benefits, the current system is totally inadequate, every person unemployed person should receive sufficient income support till such time he is employed, people not eligible for income support end up stealing, this becomes worse if he has a drug problem.

According to the UN Britain has the highest percentage of mixed race marriages,relationships and children in the developed world so I guess we cannot be that racist.Perhaps when as many Polish women(in Poland) have black/asian husband and as many Polish men have black/asian wife as in Britain then you can say that Poland is no more racist than Britain.

what utter nonsense, australia has a multi culteral population with very little racial tensions, unlike that of GB, do your homework before making outlandish statements.

All the people you knock were once part of the British Empire, it may be pay back time for the way England has treated these people?

How many aboriginal people do you know? Why are there so few aboriginal/black MPs?Why are Australians who come to London surprised by how multicultural it is - more so than anywhere in Australia?When I watch Australian TV its only white faces and a few Chinese ones-unlike here.If you look at your neighbouring countries Australia should be far more multicultural.You have almost wiped out your black people(aboriginal Australians) and the riots between whites and arab australians - I guess that is your idea of racial harmony.


Listen to your own advice.

i'm a basque guy, and a lot of times people think that i'm a "latino" when it's obvious that i'm not. Sometimes the ignorance becomes to racism. I have been in poland for 3 months and i have meet great people and stupid people. I saw racists there but not too much, i think that the racism in poland is the same comparing with my country. You can find this kind of people, and people who respect other ethnics. While i was in poland i saw people from asia and black guys, and they were having fun with polish people. To be honest i saw only a few people from this races and this is the reason why i think that people need more time to accustom to foreigners. I felt like at home with polish people so in my case i can say that i didn't feel the racism in the streets. Maybe this problem is bigger in big cities like warsaw and krakow. i can only say that in podkarpackie where i have lived,isn't a problem of racism.

Remember the englishman in the name of the king/queen of england was the cause of all these problems,,, The Australian people have cleaned up there mess.

The poms have been the cause of many of the problems which have faced our society.
Remember Australian cities have been voted the most liveable cities in the world, (you carn't beat that?

I saw that coming - just blame the English for your own problems.In the 1950s in England there were many black Carribbean people and Indian and Pakistani people -but until recently you had an all whites immigration policy in Australia.Even now you have virtually no black people - why? I guess black people look at what happens to black people in Australia and prefer somewhere less racist -like UK,USA,France,Poland etc.


Unless you are black.Australians are in denial about racism there.

what utter nonsense, australia has a multi culteral population with very little racial tensions, unlike that of GB, do your homework before making outlandish statements.

wouldn't agree -firstly Australia is not so populated like England- density brings tension.
Secondly I don;t remember detatails but I was reading while ago about very aggresive rasist behaviour of white Australian towards Asians communities.

All the people you knock were once part of the British Empire, it may be pay back time for the way England has treated these people?

I will probbaly get in trouble snow but I thought that Enhglish were sending all murderers, criminals to Australia - So what they are to pay back for? Sending there like on holiday? Does it mean that in Australia live now their children, grandchildren?

I think that rasism is everythere we can;t help it.

Thinking about Poland we can be quite stubborn and proud of our culture. I think that our attitude is different tham some of western countries - we would allow any foreign people to live in our country if they learn our language and culture, just asimilate. I was thinking about Gipsies- there are lots of them living in dirt and poverty in Bulgaria, Slovakia, Romania- Not many in Poland Why? I think that about 30-40 years ago they were forced to stop travelling have proper addrsee send children to school. Some of them stayed I suppose lots of them didn't like it and move abroad.

I don't think it is intolerance just common sense. We would do the same probbaly with Muslims I can imagine court cases in Poland like in England about women- young girls being allowed to cover themselves

Perhaps you haven`t realized that but our country since its beginning, more than 1000 years ago had been created by immigrants from various parts of the World: Western Slavs (Poles, Silesians and Pomeranians), Jews, Tatars, Germans, Ruthenians, Lithuanians, Latvians, Dutch, Austrians, Scotts, Armenians, Slovaks, Greeks, Italians, Gypsies. Hungarians and the French - all Poles have some ancestors as well as familynames who originate in one or more of those nations who migrated here in the past.

That, what you can see when you look at our people is a result of intermarriage of people from various cultures and religions (this is actually one of the reasons why Hitler hated us - "we aren`t being racially pure").

That, what is happening in the UK, happened here long ago - not without its problems - but I`d say - all in all - it ended in a succes - and it certainly didn`t involved any appeasing or political correctness.

That was a long time ago....


I think that it's not a recent thing, Irish, Welsh, Scotish, French, Spanish and German herritage in this country - oh lets not forget the anglo saxons and the Romans that invaded Britain - the problem now is cultures that are here that will not integrate and are too different from the Western world.


I'm sure that there would have been some form of it about.

Actually,the same thing happened in Britain a long time ago.We had the Romans,Normans,Heugonots,French asylum seekers and even black people hundreds of years ago.By mixed race I do not mean Europeans marrying Europeans.Poland has never had a large influx of very different cultures like Africans,Asians or(worst of all)Muslims.We too had a policy of integraton until someone (Tony Blair etc)decided Muslims should get special treatment and be allowed segregration.


In Britain we had this approach.If you had come to Britain in 1990 you would have seen black,asian people but no-one cared about race etc.Then Tony Blair allowed everyone (war criminals,criminals,terrorists etc)into the country and people got annoyed.Like I said - if this had happened anywhere else there would have been a bloodbath but the British are very tolerant.


Sorry but once again it happened in Britain first.That is why we are so ahead of many countries because we do it first.

truebrit

I think the trouble in English these days is that our history isnt being tought...it's such a shame because it's quite rich and intersting

by english I meant in the classes at school

In the 1300s we`ve given assylum to all of the Jews who were prosecuted and killed in Western Europe - and untill the XXth century 3/4 of ALL of the World Jewish population was living in our country. Jews aren`t Europeans.



And a little bit later on we`ve given assylum to the Tatars who were prosecuted in Asia - The Tatars are Asian Muslims.

Besisides Europeans of different religions: Catholics, Protestants, Orthodox, Lutheran Christians were always living here in relative peace, unlike in other parts of the World where they were at eachothers throats.

okay you win! of course

hahaha :)

In UK they are considered Europeans-maybe not in Poland.

The Jews are Semites, just like the Arabs. Are Arabs Europeans ?

Truebrit please leave this, Jewdaism is a Religion which in fact the oldest religion has been practiced all over the world - my mothers ancesters were not Arabs, but in fact European. Whilst I agree that the majory of jews live in Israil, there have been Jews all over the world for many many years. We could in deed say that Catholics derive from Arabs, was not Peter the founder of Christanity? was he an Arab?

Just a note my mother is not jewish but back in the family tree there were.

Britain we had this approach.If you had come to Britain in 1990 you would have seen black,asian people but no-one cared about race etc.Then Tony Blair allowed everyone (war criminals,criminals,terrorists etc)into the country and people got annoyed.Like I said - if this had happened anywhere else there would have been a bloodbath but the British are very tolerant.

I think that you are too tolerant- I know Britain is famous of its tolerance but it is too much now. And all these terrorists preaching against you , hating England but living here safe and comfortable on your benefits.

I can't see this happening in Poland ever.

Jews - You know the people like Moses, Jesus, Einstein ect. are not Arabs.. ..they are Semites - they belong to the same family of people as the Arabs - i.e. Just like Germans and the Austrians are Germanic or the Norvegians and the Swedes are Scandinavian.

Semites aren`t Europeans - the Semitic people had originated from the Middle East It`s later on that they settled down in Europe. Those people are ethenic Jews.

I don't care where people came from hundreds/thousands of years ago.You could say that we are all originally descended from a tribe in Africa.It means nothing.If the Jews have lived in Europe for hundreds of years and are white skinned like Europeans then as far as I am concerned they are Europeans.


Actually,things are getting stricter now-they are finally throwing these people in jails etc.I don't know why they allowed it so long.Now you are in the EU you must accept the conditions as well as the benefits.This means it will happen in Poland but be much,much worse.

Arabs and as a matter of fact Persians (Iranians) are - white - but I dont`t find it`s making them "European". If I`d be you I`d ask some Israelies - the people who came back to Israel from Europe if they`re European - you`d probably be amazed by their anwsers.


Sooner the EU is going to adapt to our point of view than you`re going to see any of those absurdities here. Virtually all of the former Eastern Block governments/societies have the same atitude torwards those issues - and I`m convinced that this non-leftie view is being supported by many people in Western Europe who are just affraid to speak out their mind or simply don`t see any other alternatives than to accept the courrent situation.

So you have have been in the EU for just 2 years and you think you have influence? You will get a shock just like those before (Spain etc).

I think I have seen and heard it all now..
