As I produce this thread I am in Poland. The time is 4.30 am.
I came here for a good time. I had a good time (thanks largely due to my mates).
However, this country is utter crap. The gothic architecture is lovely. The bars are generally well decorated but other than that I hate it here.
I have never been witness to such racism. I am admittedly white, and I have never been racist in my life. I find the utter notion disgusting.
I have had non stop abuse since I arrived here. I have had polish workers back in England and they have generally been superb to work with. But the racism I have witnessed over this weekend has been disgusting. English holiday makers provide the Polish economy with lots of hard earned cash.
But over this weekend I have been ignored, abused, threatened and pushed around. All because I come from England. My behavior has been impeccable, especially for a 'drinking' weekend. I don't want to generalise because that is the seed of racism, but no matter where we went the service was disgusting. We were pushed to the back at the bar, dance floor, restaurants, everywhere.
But the ultimate indignity came in McDonalds. Someone threw a burger on the floor. Immediately the bouncers came over, spotted me and demanded I suffer the indignity of cleaning the crap up. 5 bouncers on 1 22 year old bloke, threatening to bring in the surrounding Police if I wasn't their b*tch and laughing all the way. I tidied it up but thats not the point. BE WEARY IF YOU GO.
You may think I'm racist against poles. I'm not. If I get banned, I'll come back with a different (probably better) name. I'm just surprised and appalled. I'm quite young and have never experienced racism before. Any Hype!ster who has experienced racism, I now understand. I have so much respect for anyone who stands up to racism and beats it down. We English support anti racism overall quite well being a multi cultural nation, and I've said boo to racism before, but now I've experienced it first hand from the entire city of Krakow, I truly understand.
I have to express myself I'm that furious. You may think I'm a moaner, any polish posters may think i'm racist as well, sorry but I'm not. Thanks if you cared to read any of this. My normal mild postage rate will hopefully continue as of Tuesday.
PS, it's eggyMAN
I can understand your anger and fraustration at such indignity.
However, why does that make you proud to be English?
Are we not an overweight nation of chavs, hooligans, lazy parents with multiple out-of-control kids? Are we not stabbing and shooting each other in the streets?
England is a relatively good country to live in. Compaed to some places in the world, it's paradise. However, it's not something to be proud of at the moment.
Yes, I noticed, lol. But I thought it would be sweet to call you Eggy. I hope you didn't mind
Oh yeah, I agree -- please don't think I was bad-mouthing them in any way. All I meant was that there has to be some reason they are all leaving. Countries -- most, if not all -- go through bad patches, and it is a testiment to the polish for finding a way to fight against it. Mankind are survivors, and that's what I see the polish doing now.
Go on then, seeing as it's you lol
Eyar innit, wot izzit ya tawkin bout yo?

I just realised the unfortunate irony that while many female chavs are fat, most of the male chavs are not. The problem would solve itself if they were too fat to run after people.
I'll have you know i have not been stabbed or shot once. I know no hooligans and don't associate myself with chavs. t:
Quite liberating innit

Maybe they heard some of the Pollack jokes Americans were telling in the 70s
If we were all American, the world would be a better place.
Mainly because there would be no one left to hate us.
People don't hate us the people, they hate our Foreign policy, which is Global domination.
I'm glad I'm Canadian.
