According to Google, the word "Polack" is not offensive. But the word "Jew" is extremely offensive. Go figure.

Maybe because Larry Page and Sergey Brin are Jews and not Polacks?

I don't know about Lah, but I do know from my Polish friends that Polack is usually offensive and can be racist, so I never use it.

Isn't Lah the Ruthenian word for a member of the Szlachta? In Sienkiewicz's Trilogy the Tartars and Turks refer to Poland as "Lahistan".
