Lithuanians hate Poles?

I'm almost certain that you'd see exactly the same results if you asked Poles about Russians living next door.

Other objections of ethnic Poles include alleged bias in the reclaiming of
property lost in the Soviet era,

They have problems with their history books, I understand that all history books are biased in some ways but their books should be called fiction because thats what they are.

In Lithuania property reclaimed 90% of owners (or their progeny )and only 15% Polish owners

To mods: This thread is intentionally created to cause hatred, please close it.

A new survey finds that half
of Lithuanians would not like to have a Polish neighbor, in a new indicator

One-in-two Lithuanians don’t want a Pole living next door

Part of it is their nationalistic ignorance, and second probably more to blame, the media showing drunk hooligans in their country or Poles not wanting to embrace their culture and language.

I fail to understand why anyone would live in a foreign country on a permanent basis and not embrace the local culture and language.

But Meathead Lithuania isn't really a foreign country to Poland. It should be OK to speak and learn in Polish there besides which Lithuanian is a really complex and archaic language that is difficult to learn.

Lithuanians hate Poles?

days of our great Commonwealth

But Meathead Lithuania isn't really a foreign country to Poland. It should be OK to speak and learn in Polish there besides which Lithuanian is a really complex and archaic language that is difficult to learn.

According to the opinion poll by GfK Custom Research Baltic, 51 percent of
Lithuanians expressed distaste at the idea of having a Polish neighbour,
with 27 percent saying “not under any circumstances,” and a further 24
percent declaring that they “would rather not.”

Actually not. Only one in three Poles has negative feelings for Russians. But only 22% of Poles describe their attitude to Roma as positive, and only 23% for Arabs and 24% for Romanians.

Most interestingly of all for this forum, only 28% of Poles describe their attitude to Serbs as positive!

Oh, and more Poles describe their attitude to the English as positive than to the Americans (and more have negative attitudes to Americans than to British).

let us see how the thread develops

I'd say that this reflects the reality very well, except that I'm surprised at the 22% figure for Roma - I'm surprised they found so many respondents with a positive attitude towards them.

While I will admit to hearing the occasional positive comment about blacks and Asians from Poles, I have never heard a Pole say anything positive about the Roma.

Possibly Poles are starting to realise that they are not supposed to dislike people just because of their ethnicity?

Or it could be that they have positive feelings for Roma but never speak about those because it is a 50/50 shot that the person they are speaking to feels the opposite.

Or it could be that not everybody tells the truth in surveys.

I'm Polish and i don't like people like Harry. Whatever you are.

He's Australian isn't he? That would explain a lot.

Stoking the fires of hatred where there isn't any.

I fail to understand why anyone would live in a foreign country on a permanent basis and not embrace the local culture and language. If you wanna speak polish move to Poland!

And which history books are not biased?

Lithuania is a foreign country. Poles don't speak Lithuanian, they don't know much about Lithuania and generally speaking, their knowledge stops at "Lithuania, my home country". It may have been one country in the past, but it hasn't been for over 200 years.

And anyway, if Poles there are too stupid to learn Lithuanian, they should stop whining and start sending their children to school.

I'm almost certain that you'd see exactly the same results if you asked Poles about Russians living next door.

Can you read?

You're not Pole,there is no ''ours''
Every fourth Pole hates Serbs,only Roma and Arabs are more hated.That's your reality.Wake up.You got to change.

Największy dystans do Polaków w ostatnim sondażu wykazali mieszkańcy Szawli i Kłajpedy, gdzie Polacy stanowią znikomy procent.

Actually, delphiandomine has point. Are there many people in Poland who refuse to learn polish and yet they live in Poland?

Now there is an official project accordingly to which 70% of subjects in higher classes of the schools of national minorities would have to be taught in Lithuanian’ but it could hardly be considered as a convincing argument as Lithuanian is a compulsory subject at schools and all school-leavers of the national minorities speak Lithuanian very good anyway.’28

It is you who needs to feel shame among Poles, not me

Every fourth Pole hates Serbs

the same `Pole` who passionately love Greater Croatia and share Croatian devotion to the Germanics.

Is there any research confirming that Polish minority in Lithuania don't know Lithuanian/refuse to learn Lithuanian? Poles in Lithuania aren't immigrants, but autochthonous citizens - I would expect them to be bilingual.
