Do Polish people respect other cultures?

It was a compliment Frank.

Lol...are you psychic then......?...as well?

Thank you ...

In Britain there are many people with 'good' jobs who are also stupid and ignorant.This is one country where you cannot judge by appearances - the smartly dressed businessman can become a drunken hooligan every Friday night.But most British people are not like this!
However,from what I have seen of the Polish in the UK they are definitely more 'old fashioned' and have better manners than modern British people- I think this is due to Poland being a more traditional,disciplined and less wealthy nation.

I believe, Poles behave decently only in the countries which they fear or bootlick like Germany or the USA

I agree.

I am sure they are decent anywhere they are. and I dont believe they have anything
to fear from the USA.

Not sure on the Germany thing.

Most of the Poles in England have been well behaved and get on with the locals very well, I have only once ever seen a few holigans being abusive in town, they were promptly shown (rather violently) that this kind of melarchy is not tolerated here.

I guess they learnt their lesson, don't sing Polish holigan songs during an england football game.

I TOTALLY BLAME OUR GOVERNMENT FOR JOINING THE EU AND IM GOING TO START AN ORGANIZATION TO GET IRELAND OUT OF THE EU...

POLISHOUT.... hahahahahahahahahahahah lol.

You are funny, tell me some more jokes....

Why stop at just Ireland...get everyone out...that'll teach the bloody lot of them......

Funny, that's exactly my impression about Germans visiting Kołobrzeg and other parts of Poland.

Give him a break Ola, being a foreigner he's entitled to struggle with his English as much as you do!!

Don't worry about it Danny Dan, I think she thinks your a Brit!........The abuse was aimed at us more than you.

Anyone with half a brain will act accordingly in a country where his/her poeple are outnumbered.

Yeah, and lets get all the people of Spain, France, England, Germany, Switzerland, italy, etc. out of Europe and give it all to Poland.

That sounds like a solid plan, no? lol

I have met several Polish people and all were very respectful and kind. there are rude and nice people in every culture in every place. perhaps you need to be more careful in your choices as to whom you converse with.

not gonna lie my parents are pretty racist
they're slowly starting to get over it...
They think Poland is the only country in the world that has people with morals.
of course they wouldn't admit to it.

Having conducted several cultural classes, I don't think Poles are that culturally aware, often operating through stereotypes and generalisations. It's getting better tho.

I can't believe this. The person who wrote this is not discriminating? What race doesn't have their bad people? Look at the friggin news. You guys make me sad.

And that thing about Polish people only respectful in Germany or USA? Exactly like the other people said you'll respect which ever country you're in. This is why there is hate. This makes me so furious how some people can get so stubborn.

I've never heard a polish individual say dirty things about other cultures. I believe every country/culture has its goods and its bads... Us humans, are designed to speak our minds LOL and not everybody think the same ;) Expand your horizons and open your mind 'cause there are lots of polish people with good heart. In fact, I think everybody has a good heart. Except the ones who need heart transplant Lol Sorry It was a joke! (;

D0brAn0c! :D

no we dont,we call them Pikeys,or thieving baste......


maybe you just cant bake iwona?

Why do you feel uncomfortable,is it far more than you would spend on a guest?

I am a UK citizen and have been living in Poland for the last 3 years. I like the Poles, but i find them to be very reserved in their behavoir. They are generally not the kind of people who 'like to let there hair down', and are definate'ly not 'go with the flow' types. Many Poles, more so among the older ranks, seem obsessed with there own behavoir, striving hard to be decent and civil at all times. These types often attempt to inhibit others from behaving free'ly.

Polish people are very judgemental, if you clank your spoon against your cup when stirring your tea, or tip your bowl towards you rather than away from you when finishing your soup, expect to see eyebrows being raised. If you do not wish to be considered as a modern day caveman, then dont stand with your hands in your pockets or talk too loud when your in a shop.

Polish culture is steeped in tradition, its almost impossible for a 1st time visitor not to make a thousand blunders within his first week, but do not fear, the Poles will have you corrected and up to speed on exactly how you should be behving in no time! They are very good that way!

As you may have figured by now, i much prefer the uninhibited freedom of the British culture! Poland needs to let its hair down!

Totally agree with Ali on his statement.



To some extent most Polish people are kind of judgemental.



Definetly, Polish culture is steeped down in tradition and culture.

Im foreign national living in Poland from last 3 years now and found this country very tolerable, open, full with historical events and so on.

And to my view Polish people should fee proud of themselves of being part of this great nation.

I think Poles are very tolerable and many of them are facinated in their own and others cultures.

when i was in poland, they seemed almost scared of anyone who was not from poland.

I was also given this valuable information.



Yes,I know they checked their trousers if they got stolen by Poles.

But then it wouldn't be Poland.

Well, i could say a lot about that. Had lots of exchange programs with Germany in high school. Met a lot of biased, rude and extremely ignorant ppl. But at the same time a lot of open minded and amazing ones..

Loads of stereotypes about Poland in Germany. It seems to be changing though, just very slowly.

While it's true that bad manners exist in bucket loads in Poland, they also do in pretty much every other country. The big difference in how we perceive what could be described as crude or rough behaviour is simply how familiar we are with how it is expressed.

I find that people tend to react more sharply to that which they haven't experienced before; now, everybody has experienced rudeness, crudeness, pretension, arrogance and more, but it is simply a question of "how" we experience it and whether or not we're used to it that tends to make us see what "other" people do and gloss over what "our" people do.

I'd love to read an opposing viewpoint as this is just my opinion.
