America a Racist nation? My answer is YES

Quoting: ukpolska

So our overseas cousins can get a bit knarky from time to time, but so can we Brits, Polish along with the rest of them.
My flat was once attacked by some Polish skinheads in Lublin, and my only crime, in their eyes, was marrying a Polish girl.

I have traveled and conducted business in the US of A numerous times and i have never experienced a nation to be so racist in my entire life!! I am only talking about the state of Florida in this particular report. Every fast food restaurant or convenience shop I visited I experienced a black or South American person behind the counter looking back at me with real contempt. On the other hand all business meetings were conducted with white people! a mistory nes pa? Tell me if im wrong please because i would love to hear it. Were always seeing on TV what a wonderful country the US of A is but in reality i think it is somewhat different.

I think the problem you have encountered was not racism, but the way people reacted on your Polish accent. You say you were in a store - you then had to say something, didn't you? Your accent is strange and it's normal people react at first in a little different way; later they get used to it. So to me you may mix racism with psychological behavior here.

I'm Polish-American citizen (but my accent is bad and everyone I talk to knows I'm not American). But you say you only visited Florida (the state of Hispanic population from Puerto Rico mostly), so it's not the best sample to judge the whole USA.. Visit Chicago or NY to experience a better sample range.

Your reply suggests my facts and wording are incorrect and my post doesn't make sense. I only wanted to know why you think that..

Have you ever been to America? I can only talk for South American states swhich I have visited on numerous occasions and I was shocked to see the poverty of which so called USA citizens were confined to such as trailer parks and worse... In England we have council estates wherere by citizens with no money and by all accounts bum's who have no means to support themselves live. Trailer parks and places of poor equlity in the US are the lowest of the low these people have no health insurance or any kind of social benefit at all.n Thats why I ask you do you know what you are talikng about.

My father allways told me that America has the best and worst of everything and by God was he right.

Quoting: Wroclaw Boy America a Racist nation? The answer is YES Wroclaw Boy, with respect aren’t you going a whinny bit off the top here? So you had a bad experience, so have I many times in my travels, but really don’t think you can class a nation by one bad experience. So our overseas cousins can get a bit knarky from time to time, but so can we Brits, Polish along with the rest of them. My flat was once attacked by some Polish skinheads in Lublin, and my only crime, in their eyes, was marrying a Polish girl. So my point is, I would never blame a nation for a group of mindless twats who are a minuscule part of Polish society. Take a chill pill mate, and take a step back into reality.

I've been living here for over 10 years, so I have been to America. Again, visiting the South-American states won't reveal the true American reality. By area these states cover most of the US territory, but there are much fewer people living there than in the other states and cities. --- Your reaction about "citizens with no money" was my first reaction when I visited the US too. But then I realized these people who live like that CHOSE it by themselves. Give today an average South-state citizen $1000 and by tomorrow it will be gone for something useless (to say at least). Not to mention working ethics of these people is quite low too. So you cannot compare this situation to the British or Polish country where the whole society is about the same as far as their education level and the will to work or to go to school. The US is much more diverse and it will take maybe a century before it's possible to adjust the whole society to the highest Western standards.

I didnt have no bad experience with Black poeple in south america. Im just stating that you cant go into a fast food joint or retail shop without finding a black or Mexican American serving you at the other end without a pissed off look on their face that there servng you and not the other way round. I never had a bad experience i just noticed that ratial equality was rife in the United States and they claim that its not. I find that for USA to claim they are not a racist country to be one of the biggest scams ever. Thats it.

Think you need to stop reffering to our frinedly cousins in such frinedly terms and realise that if there is going to be a third world war you can bet your ass they will be the cause. Period.

A message going out to all you porkers: We will drain you in the Fish and chip shops, look for special offers in the burger restuarants. Fried eggs and suaseges will be de-fatted on contact without mercy. We will never surrender Never has so much been owed by so many to so few Sir W. Churchill.

It was probably because of your accent, I get funny looks when im in the South because I sound like a yankee. Some of them still think the Cival war is still going on. They were just wondering where youre from, there not the brightest group of people on the planet thats for sure.

Btw - visiting the US and going to junk food stores -- that's not what I would suggest.

Quoting: hello Btw - visiting the US and going to junk food stores -- that's not what I would suggest. You gotta get some "Super Beef and cheddar" by Arbies its the best god damn burger ive ever had.

Frankly, I never ate anything at Arbies because I prefer whole-bread rather than white bread. But I may try it.

Whole bread / white bread whats the difference realy

Quoting: Wroclaw Boy Whole bread / white bread whats the difference realy They say Americans eat too much hamburgers (on white bread) and - in addition to being called a "stupid Polack", I would like to avoid being called a "stupid American" :).

I know in Connecticut that alot of the stores you refer to are owned by the person behind the counter. Up the road from me (small store) are the sweetest couple from Afganastan. I remember just after Sept. 11th they were so quiet. I asked them what was the matter and they told me of the family there and concerns for their safety. Today they still run the store and will be the first to thank the USA for making life for their family better. Being the first gen from Poland born on US soil I can't afford to own my own store. I don't think it matters what country we come from you must take the good with the bad. Wroclaw Boy, could it be you are the one with the issues. Maybe if you smiled and did not place people in "black" or "Mexican American" but let them be people.

When you can make up your own mind and have opinions for yoursleves come back and talk to me with rational explenations. Stop using examples its OK.
