Not entirely. We don’t need immigration. Poland is best the way it is in that regard. You can come for tourism, maybe work for some time - but don’t count on setting here. Especially if you’re not white and can’t behave recently. You don’t have to be politically correct aboit it. PC is crap!

The number 4 is completely untrue and wrong stereotype. Poland has historically been a very multinational state. Today we have a lot of students, immigrants, tourists from all over the world. In some companies in Warsaw, we have more immigrants than Poles. Maybe only in small towns off the beaten track, a black person can cause surprise, but in cities it is completely normal, and Poland is a very safe country and immigrants feel very safe.

[@reyna7680]

Polska jest krajem bezpiecznym ponieważ wciąż poziom migracji jest niewielki w porównaniu do innych krajów Europejskich. Według sondaży zdecydowana wiekszość Polaków jest przeciwna migracji z krajów muzułmańskich i Afryki. Nie chcemy powtarzać błędów Szwecji, Niemiec czy Francji gdzie poziom przestępczości wzrósł wielokrotnie po wdrożeniu polityki otwartych drzwi dla migrantów.

Religiosity: it's a myth, more like a tradition. Kissing on the hand, only the older generation. Emigrants: Poland has always accepted victims of wars, and this does not apply only to Ukraine, but it is reluctant to economic emigrants who do not assimilate into society. Kulczyk does nothing for Poland, he is not popular, it's just a name. "Poles are car thieves" has not been true for many, many years. theft-related mafias were eradicated years ago. Poland did not receive reparations from Germany for World War II. They got individual citizens, not the country. Germany should pay, just as Russia will pay for the reconstruction of Ukraine. I agree with your opinion about the baby's name. Supposedly, vodka is a Polish invention ;-) despite that, it is not a favorite drink, especially of the young generation. I found out about Korean children recently, I haven't checked this information yet. (Sorry: google translate)

True, still many lost cars are found in Poland though, but mostly cause it have the eastern border of EU, much easier to smuggle out a car that way than through sea. So it's not necessarily poles that steal, only Poland happens to be in the most frequent way of smuggling cars out of EU.

Hi there! In Hollywood they say that the Polish camera operators and set designers are the best... Lot of people don't know that in many great movies, known in entire world, the operator or stage designer were from Poland. For example: Andrzej Sekuła (operator - Pulp Fiction, American Psycho), Allan Starski (set designer in The Pianist and Schindler’s List) Janusz Kamiński (operator - Saving Private Ryan, Lincoln) They were awarded with Oscars... they created the cult movies, without which we can not imagine the history of the cinematography.

Yeah, just like that, it's just rare to see immigrants from Asia or Africa on a daily basis, so people are actually more curious about them, might get looked at for a bit out of curiosity, but poles are not usually known for smiling at strangers, even at other poles, so maybe they might feel like they don't fit in before they get used to it. But when at work or university, they are usually likeable and get tons of friends for sure.

Born in Warsaw in 1909, Henryk Magnuski supported himself and his sister, Janina, by repairing radios for the Polish military. After gaining employment with the State Tele and Radiotechnical Works in 1934, the company sent him to New York to research American radio technology in 1939. In the same year, Hitler invaded Poland and Magnuski was unable to return home. Out of work, he was taken on by the Galvin Manufacturing Corporation in Chicago, which would later change its name to Motorola. Leading a team of radio engineers, they developed the SCR-300, the first radio used by American forces in Europe. This revolutionary mobile device became known amongst GIs as the "Walkie-Talkie"

I personally think that beer is more popular than vodka in Poland. Vodka is more of a special occasion/celebration drink. It goes like this: birthday - shots of vodka for everyone; wedding - time for vodka people!; weekend/ a casual outing with friends - beer, usually lots of beer

[@Diveyl]

It is more a generation issue. Younger generations preference lean towards beer, wine, cider and other softer drink, while older generations preference is mostly vodka. Also poorer people tends to buy cheeper vodka, as it gives them more "kick" then beer.

Ppl dont seem to get that Poland has always been issuing the most work permits to foreigners in Europe. Nobody cares about what you look like, but if you dont learn the lingo you can go back once your contract is over. It's actually nobody wanting to learn it that's causing people to be there only as guests. Foreign expertise is as valued as It's been in the "metling pot" periods in XVI century, but you really can't come into a country and try to change it to suit your preferences. Poles respect their guests, and expect to be respected back. I think the main issue is taking history as starting in ww2 amd ending in 1990. Our interactions from the past would explain a lot about Poland now, and also the fact that Poles look to the future trying to figure out how to survive and develop their country knowing how it can go based on previous experiences. : )

Greetings Mert. As a native POLE living in Poland, I wish to thank you so much for this reaction.👍👍👍 YES, Poland is situated in CENTRAL Europe.👏 Now, my comments on these following 15 things about Poland are as follows (in the same order, as shown in this film): 1. Well, yes. Some of those US famous actors and directors are of Polish descent. However, hardly any of them speak any Polish, I'm afraid (with the exception of Roman Polanski, that is). 😓 In fact, most of them probably do not even know where Poland is.😕 Which Polish actor/actress am I most proud of❓Probably Pola Negri.🤔 2. Max Factor was NOT founded by a Polish woman, but a Polish-Jewish man - Maksymilian Faktorowicz (MAKSymilian FAKTORowicz = Max Factor). 🤔 3. [...]There used to be a time, when a man would kiss a lady's hand, when meeting her as a sign of resepect and courtship[...]. Yes, that was about 10-20 years ago. Nowadays, some men (probably age 40+) could sometimes kiss a lady's hand usually if that lady is much older. We do NOT kiss any ladies' hands every time (usually because they would pull their hands away, right before that kiss). Kissing ladies' hands is not common amongst teenagers or friends at all, either. 4. There aren't too many African or Asian migrants here⁉ That is one of the biggest loads of crap I have ever heard. Every time I am at a Polish hospital, I can see foreign students/doctors there. Foreigners (especially students) are almost everywhere in Poland (most likely in big/medium cities). Hell, even my Customer Service ex-coworkers are from Zimbabwe and Rwanda (Africa). I definitely am open to new experiences and foreigners (if they don't enforce their religion/rules, though).🤔 Again, there are POLES (people who like foreigners) and POLLACKS (people who dislike/hate foreigners and other cultures). But, hey, nobody is perfect, right❓🙂 5. Jan Kulczyk was most probably the richest Pole, indeed. As such, his son Sebastian and daughter Dominika are well-off, too.🤔 No further comment needed, I guess. 😁 6. That car-theft is a story which could depict Poles as car-thieves - a stereotype which is absolutely out-of-date.😡 Pay no attention to it, please.🙏 7. WWII reparations⁉Here we go, again‼😰That is a very delicate and controversial topic in Poland.😱 In other words, Polish nationalists wish to get more money, whereas other Poles simply wish to forget about that nightmarish past. In this case, we are all divided. However, the end result does not seem to be coming soon. 8. Well, the cases of Korean juvenile migrants seem to be true.🤔 9. No source of information provided. As such, I cannot confirm or deny information on that drug screening application. In fact, I have never come across it before.🤔 10. YES, it is true‼ We are so proud to have Malbork within our Polish borders‼✌ 11. Milk bars are more like "greasy spoons" than restaurants. Yes, milk bars offer inexpensive dishes, but it does NOT blow me away at all (those dishes sometimes taste like hospital food)‼❌👎 12. Yes, we do have sand dunes in the north of Poland.👍✌ However, a vast majority of seashore dunes are restricted areas (due to high fragility). As such, people CANNOT walk probably on any seashore dune here. 13. Yes, it is true.👍 Polka dance comes from Check Republic. As for Polka dots, I am unsure. 🤔🤔🤔 14. Yes, it is true. There are limitations, when it comes to naming your children in Poland.😕 The weirdest Polish name❓I would say DEZYDERIUSZ (male).😂 15. I am NOT sure about the existence of that limited edition of Belvedere vodka at all. But, guess what⁉I don't drink alcohol, so what do I know.🤪 Well, that would be it, I guess. 😁 Mert, once again, thank you for uploading this film. 👍 I am open for any comments. 🙂

He designed and built fortifications in Saratoga and Westpoint.

About names, you can name a baby in Poland an english name but need to turn it into a polish spelling, like Itan for Ethan, or Brajan for Brian, unless like when an english name have a polish equivalent then you have to use polish. like for example Jan instead of John and Nikola instead of Nicole.

We have a lot immigrants but it is usually from Ukraine and countries near us. We don’t have many social benefits so people coming here are coming for work or universities. I know many foreighners in my industry (finances) but as many people said before they must adapt to our culture. We will not be racist or disrespectful because you have other religion, beliefs etc but if it would change our lifes for worst we will not except that- for example men in Poland usually highly protective towards women, and few days ago few immigrants tried to molest young women in public swimming pool. Men was so furious that security was forced to protect those individuals before police come because it could go very bad for them. But if you respect our culture and laws you are welcome.

I'm from Poland. I mostly welcome migrants which willing to work, educate or suffering war crisis. Migrants, with liberal culture, or with culture not forcing them rights for majority. I also was a migrant in the UK (maybe come back to work there) and I'm very thankfull for the chance of studing and working in the other country. I know how important is the flow of human force, ideas, points of view, and I have also friends from other countries. In Poland I was a member of organisation which helped young volunteers to make their projects in Poland, and it was a great fun. But I also see the risk if migration is uncontrolled and social benefits are to easy to gain. Many people from less developed country want easy life with no cost, and something like this can not be possible. In Poland and anywhere. Being straight: I welcome migrants, not welcome parasites, and never want to be a parasite to.

Poland has about 2 MLN immigrants just from UKR. So, yeah. "We dont have immigrants". Or maybe we do not allow random 70IQ without papers so we do not have 300 cars burned per day like in Paris few days ago

Yes and no. We have Ukrainian refugees rather than immigrants. And LEGAL immigrants. And let it stay this way.

Regard migrants. Contrary to some opinions, Poles are actually quite tolerant. But at the same time, my country my rule mentality is quite important. Generally if someone do not disturb local peace, he would be welcomed.

Nr. 7 In 1953, under pressure from the Soviet Union, Poland renounced its reparations claims. Furthermore, during the period between 1946 and 1953, all the resources and financial assistance received by Poland were essentially funneled back to the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union used these funds to purchase coal from Poland at a mere 10% of its actual market value, effectively exploiting Poland's resources. Additionally, the communist authorities in Poland imposed restrictions on selling coal to Western countries at its true market price. As a result, Poland neither received reparations from Germany nor benefited from the Marshall Plan. Instead, it found itself entangled in a complex economic relationship with the Soviet Union, where the majority of its resources were redirected to serve Soviet interests, ultimately limiting Poland's economic autonomy and international partnerships.

the migrant point is true in small towns etc. in larger cities- not really. in Warsaw for example we have a pretty large Vietnamese minority and some African descent people - there are of course some people that we don't associate with who are racially intolerant but generally in most cities there are no major racial tensions

[@themeanmachine84]

@@domicelabury4560 well I can tell you we have quite many immigrants, but it depends on the perspective. Cause if you look at it from lets say US, French or UK perspective then yes, not many immigrants in Poland. But when you look at it from where we were 50 years and now - we have quite many. So it depends on point of view. I can tell you that in the city I live in (center of Silesia) you can find quite many immigrants, and not just from Europe.

Poland was denied by the Soviet Union to take its due reparations just after WWII ended. So Russia (as a legal successor) should be the right addressee in this case, not Germany.

The astronomical model known as Heliocentrism, was created by a Pole born in Tourn, Poland. Mikołaj Kopernik created this model in which he establishes that the sun is the center of the Solar System and that the Earth and the other planets revolve around the Sun! Definitely Mikołaj Kopernik changed the history of the world! For the record this is not an invention… but it was worth to add it! :)

First of all, Hollywood actresses or actors or well-known beauty entrepreneurs are of Polish-Jewish ancestors. For instance, Gwyneth Paltrow’s great-grandfather was a rabbi in Poland before the WWII, Scarlet Johanson’s ancestors were Jews from Poland. Many of them emigrated to the US to protect themselves from the threat of war.

There are a lot more actors from PL in industry. However my favourite so far is Cezary Pazura which isnt so well known outside PL. Foreignners are most welclme in Poland, but they need to respect us and carry themselves properly. Actually we have some redheads for whom anyone outside theirs patological semi criminal circles is enemy, but i wouldn't consider it xenophobic... One thing i need to admit - when black man are in ours proximity you we double and triple checking our stuff. Around woman that isn't the case. Germany reparations topic is more like strike back from PL impitchment and hostile dumping on eu markets than priority case on its own. Poles were willing to leave that behind, but "progressive" germans have no shame. Ger actually playing gaslighting game wiredly similar and convergent to russian key milestones.

As a guy from Poland, living there my entire life. We don't care what skin color or religion you are, we welcome people who want to work in our country and who respects our culture. The only thing that triggers Polish people is when someone tell us that he is better because of something. Also not many immigrats ? We have 2mln Ukrainians before war and now even more, there are also a lot of Asians, Africans, Arabs and people from India especially near medical schools, i know that cuz i have one like 1km from my home and there is likely 50/50 foreigners to Polish people ratio. About Vodko, in my family vodka is only present in some big family events, especially weddings, sometimes anniversaries. Also by default we have super high alcohol tolerance and we don't consider beer as an alcohol.

When mentioning immigration it strikes me that our history is not mentioned. For 600 years we were welcoming a multi-ethnic country. Way long before any other country in the West tried to do so. From our history, we learned that it didn't work. Why we should make the same mistake twice?
