Wujek_Dobra_Rada 24 Jul 2006 / #61^^^ I think that Iwona dosn`t feel much sympathy towards political correctness as well, and she also dosn`t feel much love towards:
guest-iwona 25 Jul 2006 / #63I think that Iwona dosn`t feel much sympathy torwards political correctness as well, and she also dosn`t feel much love torwards:I think that this political correctness here is a little similar to our stalinists times in 50 ( maybe it is a little harsh comparison) I am not so old by I remember my parents stories. Like If someone said political joke in the train he could be reported to police and arrested.Not different here- anyway also left government.Here minorities like for instance gays seem o have more rights than others. If someone in adoption office said that he thinks that heterosexual couples are better to adopt children than gayes he got in troubles.When old couples was not impressed by lots information about gay rights in coulcil building they were later harrased by police.I am not racist or intolerant person but for me it goes too far here.
truebrit 3 | 196 25 Jul 2006 / #65I think this discussion has gone off track.The original question was "why are Polish people so racist".My experience of Polish people in the UK is that they are not particularly racist.They probably never saw a black person before but here in the UK they work with black/asian people without any problems.I think that this political correctness here is a little similar to our stalinists times in 50 ( maybe it is a little harsh comparison) I am not so old by I remember my parents stories. Like If someone said political joke in the train he could be reported to police and arrested.Not different here- anyway also left government.Things are not that bad.According to some newspapers gays have more rights than non gays - but in reality they don't.Remember newspapers only report the most extreme cases and British newspapers are the best in the world at attacking governments/politicians/laws they dislike.
Shelley 25 Jul 2006 / #66But if you're a one armed lesbian with learning difficulties and 5 kids all to different blokes, you're bounded to get a job a the local council!Apologies to admin on this forum, I will tone my language down. x x xThey are and for good reason - shout loud enough and you are heard.... the papers have the platform to do such things, whilst I think a lot of what is printed in papers is complete rubbish, I do think that the media are putting otu a message at the moment that the gov.. is not doing it's job properly...Im mean how else would the nation have know about all those illegal imigrant being let lose from prison by mistake!British newspapers are the best in the world at attacking governments/politicians/laws they dislike.
truebrit 3 | 196 25 Jul 2006 / #67I do think that the media are putting otu a message at the moment that the gov.. is not doing it's job properlyYes,I agree.There is a lot of rubbish in some newspapers but at least they make us aware of what is actually going on and when the government is not doing their job.Sometimes th UK press is too vicious but at least they are not like some countries where the media always lets politicians off the hook(like France).
Shelley 25 Jul 2006 / #68how come under your gender it says N/A....?Oh come on lets give france the thumbs up for the whole relgion / school thing....they took a brave move thereoh and by the hooray, you agree to soemthing!Yes,I agree.I'm not sure why anyone would have a downer with Polish people, like I posted before, I think there are a lot of pre-misconceptions, and maybe if people visited Poland they'd see for themselves that it's a pretty damn fine place with nice people
iwona-guest 25 Jul 2006 / #69I don't think that we are very racist nation. I suppose we don't have so many emigrants in Poland like in west europe that is why we are not used to it. It is different in big towns like Warsaw, Krakow where are many foreign people and it is different in small villages, towns where they probbaly never saw Asian or African.I think that our "rasism" is different than in England, Germany- because we dont have many coloured people when some people see them they can be a little funny, look at them make some remarks what is unpleasant and embarassing but I don't think we are really aggressive towards them.In west europe can be different...I rememmber in England there were few cases when young, black boys were killed wthout reason- just random. In germany I think someone put fire in same houses. for asylum seeker . It seems to be more aggressive.
not polish 25 Jul 2006 / #70It's not the colour of the person we should be concerned about... it's their culture. We need to be careful not to let inferior cultures lower our standards. Of course there are some areas of our white western european culture that are inferior to others, however the sum of the parts clearly indicate the inferiority of Asian (excluding Japanese who have adopted many of the benifits of our culture) and African cultures. eg. their culture related to accomodation, health, cleanliness, safety, education, government.
truebrit 3 | 196 25 Jul 2006 / #71I rememmber in England there were few cases when young, black boys were killed wthout reason- just random.In England Africans have been killed by Jamaicans,Asians and whites killed by blacks,Chinese killed by whites,whites killed by Pakistanis,Asians killed by whites,blacks killed by asians - every race can be racist.According to the UN Britain has more successful race relations than most countries in Europe.

Not much I guess. They don't want to integrate but are quite happy to live in West Europe- rich country handing out benefits to themEngland Africans have been killed by Jamaicans,Asians and whites killed by blacks,Chinese killed by whites,whites killed by Pakistanis,Asians killed by whites,blacks killed by asians - every race can be racist.According to the UN Britain has more successful race relations than most countries in Europe.Probably but it seems to be more and more tension growing nowadays.
robersts 26 Jul 2006 / #73Insecurity is the answer , I trustIf anyone could give me an insight to Polish culture and where these racist attitudes are coming from i would really appreciate it!Insecurity is the answer , I trust
Wujek_Dobra_Rada 26 Jul 2006 / #74If anyone could give me an insight to Polish culture and where these racist attitudes are coming from i would really appreciate it!I can give you some insights why you`re a moron - how about it ?
rafik 18 | 589 26 Jul 2006 / #75I honestly don't understand what's wrong with black word.i am not sure if you noticed or not but my comments was a bit sarcastic.i just laugh at all this morons saying that words black brown ect should be banned cos they sound racist. i can understand that when someone says"fucking nigger" it may be offensive but something like "black music"?it is ridiculus!black people have are BLACK nobody can deny it!what should i call them afro-something?or maybe people-of-the-different-colour-you -know-which?some people try to teach us how not to be racist but they can't see anything wrong with saying pieprzone polaczki(fucking pollocks) just because they disagree with one person
Wujek_Dobra_Rada 26 Jul 2006 / #77Well, I find it good that you have a positive in atitude acknowledging your intelectual defect - but is a "Yes" ?
truebrit 3 | 196 26 Jul 2006 / #79Probably but it seems to be more and more tension growing nowadays.England is the 4th most densely populated country in the world which does not help
robersts 26 Jul 2006 / #80Wujek_Dobra_RadaDear wujek,With your attitude I’d suggest getting laid immediately , you may feel better.Best
Wujek_Dobra_Rada 26 Jul 2006 / #81But before doing so I had hoped I could help you to overcome your disadvantages. Well, I like helping people and I can not do anything about it :)
robersts 26 Jul 2006 / #82Wujek_Dobra_RadaHelping people is great, being arrogant and obnoxious prat is not, try to work on your defects and disadvantages in a positive way.On a different matter now, the photo shots of pre war Warsaw are fascinating, do you have any more ?
Wujek_Dobra_Rada 26 Jul 2006 / #83Well, I`ve only express the way that I could be more easily understood - and I`ve done that especially for you ..I guess that helping others is not so great - there`s simply no gratitude at the end.-------------------------studiop2.pl/starawarszawa/mapa.htmlvarsaviana.com.pl/galerie.html
opts 28 Jul 2006 / #85Yes, you are correct, "the United States hasn't been segregated since the 1960's ". I lived in Chicago for about 20 years, and Chicago is a segregated city.
bambie 29 Jul 2006 / #86I think there are a lot of pre-misconceptions, and maybe if people visited Poland they'd see for themselves that it's a pretty damn fine place with nice peopleyou can apply this suggestion for yourself, go vist another countries, cuz there are a lot of like u said :"pre-misconceptions, and maybe if people visited x country they'd see for themselves that it's a pretty damn fine place with nice people" guess you don't even get your own quotes don't you?
guest-iwona 29 Jul 2006 / #87Yes, you are correct, "the United States hasn't been segregated since the 1960's ". I lived in Chicago for about 20 years, and Chicago is a segregated city.After my short visit to USA my impression was that this is much racist country than old Europe.
lef 11 | 477 29 Jul 2006 / #88you contridicted yourself...I am English and proud to be so, I dont like Paki's they're over running my countryIt is obvious that racism is well and alive in Britain, where have I heard similiar comments?? oh yeah in Germany in the 30's.. Forget about racism in Poland it is only small compared to British attitude.I have known people who say they are good good catholics and front church every second day say similiar things about other countries
rafik 18 | 589 29 Jul 2006 / #89i think you are getting there lef,finally.at last you haven't said anything anti-polish.i agree there is some racism in poland but you have it in australia and western europe too.
