Why Polish aren't white??

he is not in polish parliment. John Godson is.

That's true. He's a Warsaw councillor. For now...

Yes, he is on the Warsaw council. He's also the first openly gay person to be elected to office in Poland and I'm proud to say that I voted for him.

if poles were considered white,, as in pure, the 3rd reich wouldn't have killed so many of us. poles are slavs. and slavs aren't white

I don't know where you live but let's not exaggerate Americans are not that stupid, you are going overboard.

Last I heard Slavic people were an Indo-European group. Polish are Slavic.

Being common does not mean that you are not white. In General.

so were Germanic people...

How did you guess! Yep!

hmmm...some people beg to differ.

Poles are white. Anyone indigenous to Europe is white.

This is basic stuff.

Only Italians and Poles? what about Greek, Spaniards or Romanians?

Well, Aryan race is dead for sure. Suicide. But Eastern Europe is full of pure white nations full of pure white racists.

The fact that the Slavs missed the Horowitz show the 60s/70s (because we were frozen in Stalinist ice) makes us very different from Western "white people".

So, don't worry, if you care about "white", the Slavs will carry that torch through the 21st century at least.

Like I said on another thread, the white elite in America yous to play off the different groups. that's what I see here.

Wow did i just write something in the most stupid thread ever?

And what are you proud of???

Because they are descendants of Lucy, the missing link as they say?:

We're all descended from the apes, and before that from rat-like creates, however none of us are descended from Lucy. Not least because DNA evidence shows that none of her descendants are alive today.

Never heard this.... I'm a white American and I'm Caucasian. Caucasian, by definition, means that your family's is from Europe. The color of your skin is not your race, it's simply the color of your skin. Ask a white South African what their race is and watch the confusion when they say African American. Just slap the stupid out of them push on!!!!

What? Really?

Americans who think "white" only refers to "white Americans" are generally a couple tacos short of a combination plate. "White" refers to "caucasian," which.... surprise, surprise... comes from Europe. If you're a caucasian European, you're white. Probably whiter than many "white" Americans, since even many white Americans do have small percentages of African ancestry (particularly in the South). This demographic is also the most likely to be racist against African Americans. Oh, the irony.

Unfortunately, critical thinking and the ability to make connections has been a dying art in the US public school system, so I suppose it's no surprise that some Americans fail to make a connection between "caucasian Europeans born in Europe who THEN moved to the US" and "white Americans."

Although, I will say, that the WASP (White American Southern Protestant) is a cultural concept, and since it includes a race identifier, it may be the source of some of the confusion for some Americans.

I am an American born in USA & also Polish dual citizenship & I am white ,wonder then who established this country UFO from another world? or white Europeans ?!...hmmm come to think of who ever came with the idea about white americans so?! The native Americans ,Indians are too white lol...

Wow...what a dumb thread "why aren't Poles white?" could it possibly be because the people you are talking about, like the Black man above for example, aren't ethnically Polish?!

Remember civically Polish and ethnically Polish are two different things completely, as per with any country. I have to laugh when Blacks here say "I am Black British" You will never be British, you're Black, how can you be?! 😂

Jeez, what a confused, messed up world we've become.

So Ridiculous.

Yep, welcome to Polishforums ;-)

For your entertainment and totally off topic:

Just a side note. During the great migration of the turn of the last century it was very common to put your ethnic origins in the place of "Race" on the ships manifest.

And the second side note. Poland comes in second in quality of education in the world.

look if someone is born in the UK, four generations after their forbears came from the West Indies, has a British name and British accent. and British passport... then duh they are British.

Not if they are black. They will never be ethically British.

'ethnically' British is a meaningless term. As I said, British name, accent and birth and passport genearlly makes someone...........drumrollls....British.
It is not that hard to comprehend now is it?

I can't beileve you think Black people living here are British! Civically British, not ethnically British.

like i said 'ethnically British' is a meaningless term.
