Here in England there is some negativity about Polish people but once you speak to Poles and learn the fascinating history of Poland then everything changes. I love the Poles and their history - that's why I'm learning Polish!

[@martynazurawska1497]

Wow, nice to read it! Thank you for your interest and... powodzenia! :)

Haha betul

[@mattpiotrowski8922]

I’m polski

[@harrietw7571]

I'm another 🇬🇧. Ive also just started learning about Poland. Polish history is fascinating and rather complex.

[@inlikeflynn7238]

Please correct me if i am wrong but when Poland was the Lithuanian Polish Commonwealth it was the second largest country in Europe and threatened all of its neighbors (Prussia, Austria, the Ottoman Empire, and Russia) so after having a particularly bloody civil war and a war with Sweden immediately after that that wiped out a third of its population its neighbors took advantage of the commonwealth's chaos to take it apart and absorb its lands. The negative polish stereotypes that followed the dissolution of the Commonwealth were used as a means of justifying the takeover of Poland by Russia, Austria, and Prussia. Later when Germany and Russia once again divided up Poland during the second world war they reused the same stereotypes created hundreds of years before to justify the takeover of Poland. The stereotypes commonly presented the polish as barbaric or backwards and the Germans actually said that polish cavalry charged their tanks with lances when they tried to invade it (while it didn't actually happen this German propaganda was so pervasive that I remember being taught about Polish cavalry charging tanks with lances when I was in grade school). Negative stereotypes are almost always created to discredit a group of people, don't believe everything you hear.

Pochodzę z Anglii i uczę się polskiego, bardzo podoba mi się ten język i ta kultura, jednak to przykro mi, że dość często ludzi z mojego kraju mają takie negatywne poglądy na Polacy. powodem tego to na pewno niewiedza, nieznajomość. Gdy im powiem, że uczę się polskiego, to od razu widoczny, że nie mają pojęcia, jak jest znaczenie tego kraju w Europii. W każdym razie, dziękuję bardzo za te filmy, są bardzo pomocne i ciekawe :)

Good job with your Polish sentences. It was almost perfect. I give You 95%. 😉

[@MuchomorekStudio]

People in the Balkans usually have big respect for Poland, because you`re very nationalistic and historically, you`ve stopped the Ottoman Empire (from which we were all fucked up here :D) .We think you`re one of the best Slavic countries to live (also in terms of life standart). So bravo haha

Here in the Netherlands there are some stereotypes about the Polish people living here. However I've always loved how Polish sounds, I also get my hair cut by a Polish woman. She cuts my hair perfectly and just for 5 euro, while the normal hairdressers would charge you 15 and sometimes they don't even do it well.

w Kanadzie nie mamy duzo stereotypow o polakach. Byc moze dlatego ze gdzie ja mieszkam nie ma duzo polakow. Moze i jest w Toronto ale bardzo malo kanadyjczycy mieszkaja w Toronto (tylko 40%). Tak jak mowil ten koles. Cudzoziemcy nie maja o nas wyrobionej opinii negatywnej i to tylko istnieje w glowach polakow. Pozdrawiam. Kanada was lubi.

W 90 roku pojechałem do US. Zakompleksiony i zahukany Polaczek. Byłem w Harlem i coś we mnie pękło. Potem pojechałem do Alabama i Missisipi i powiem szczerze że nie mogłem wyjść ze zdziwienia, jak chujowe może być najpotężniejsze państwo na świecie. I wróciłem bez kompleksów. I żadna gw mnie nie była w stanie przekonać do wstydu.

[@thurisazx]

dzięki za tą wypowiedź bracie , ja nie byłem w tym kraju , ale mam taką samą o nich opinię . Odwiedzałem za to tzw zachodnie kraje i to w latach dla nich najlepszych tj poczatek lat 90 i dokonałem tylu obserwacji ich wspaniałej "kultury" goscinnosci itd., ze gdybym miał kompleksy tobym się wyleczył w ciągu jednego dnia . ich pzrewaga w dobrobycie wynika tylko z tego ze kilkaset lat grabili poł swiata jako mocarstwa kolonialne .

[@dogpoochogenius]

Don't look at those people on the lower level, look at those people on the higher level, those people that are very well spoken, those people that are very well dressed, coming from the offices in Manhattan or any other places. Their communication level is better than Polish people. Polish people talking, talking and talking, and you don't know what they are talking about, because they are using some kind of examples, examples, examples, instead of talking, what they are talking about. Those people that think that they are the more intelligent are worst, they are talking and talking, wasting time, examples, examples, instead of talk what they are talking about.

Mam polskiego współlokatora, który niestety całkowicie utrwala stereotyp. Oto zwykły, codzienny przykład - jeżdżę z nim do miasta, aby pójść do sklepu i kupić butelkę wódki. Zaczyna padać, gdy tylko wyruszymy do miasta. W drodze powrotnej z miasta mówi mi: "Kiedy jedziemy do miasta, nadchodzi śnieg, a kiedy wyjeżdżamy z miasta, śnieg wciąż na nas przychodzi." Naprawdę chciałbym żartować z tego. Czując się trochę z niedowierzaniem, próbuję odpowiedzieć na to pytanie, mówiąc, że śnieg nie nadchodzi, idziemy w stronę śniegu. Wyobraźcie sobie, jak moje niedowierzanie rosło, kiedy spojrzał na mnie, głośno wyśmiał i pokręcił przecząco głową. Tak jak powiedziałem: "Naprawdę chciałbym żartować na ten temat". Pierdolę mojego stereotypowo polskiego współlokatora. Dlaczego musi utrwalać stereotyp?

Even if that'd be the case - there are also people who choose to have a shaved head for style reasons, not because they believe in some stupid ideal. Meaning, not every1 who has a shaved head is a nazi.
