Polish Racist

JP Liz

An English teenager was allegedly told to leave a new Polish supermarket in East Yorkshire because of her nationality.

Student Kaley Leighton explained that she likes to try "new things" and decided to buy a drink at the Polski Sklep in Goole on her way home from college, reports The Daily Telegraph.

However, the 17-year-old claimed that the shopkeeper immediately asked her if she was English and then ordered her out when she replied that she was.

She said: "He said to me 'Get out of my shop' twice. He said it really aggressively and I didn't know what to do because I was on my own, and he was a big man. I just said 'okay' and left.

"I felt angry, upset and embarrassed and couldn't believe what had happened."

The teenager has now spoken to East Riding Council and made a complaint of racism against the store.

I thought every shop nowadays would welcome any business

I was refused entry to a shop in moore st a few years ago because i was white.
Another shop in drogheda had a sign up saying "no whites" untill they were forced to remove it.
Racism cuts every which way,you just dont hear about it unless its white people doing the discriminating.

it is so true

This type of stuff needs to be knocked on the head though because all it will do is promote racism and you'll end up with English shop keepers not allowing polish people to shop in their shops etc.

What a muppet though. Hope he gets his shop shut down.

I guess this one incident involving a Polish person can mean only one thing: the Polish are racist.

Polish people actually ARE quite racist.
Shockingly more so than a lot of other countries.

I dont think you can say one people are more racist than the next. Humans are territorial animals by nature. I'd guess the Polish are as racist as the Irish and all other nationalities too

I would have asked them if they only want to serve Polish people, then why the fück is their shop in England?

Did anybody else have a childish laugh at the fact that she lives in Goole, which is under the East Riding Council.

Just me then, I guess.

I would agree there appears to be a significant level of right-wing thinking inherent in Polish society/culture, but it doesn't make Polish people (implying all of them) racist.

fecking polish, coming over here.... flaunting there hot wimins...:D

How can a newspaper publish that story? What BS, its only her word against the store's. She could just be lying through her teeth. Great jounanlism.

I submit definitive proof that Polish cannot be racist.

is it not the case that the food is brought over from poland specifically for polish people and it costs so much to import it, so they dont want everyone buying it? A friend of mine gets his polish friends to get him some of the food as he cant go into the polish shop.

So if a black guy claimed he was kicked out of a shop for being black you would be of the same opinion? One's word against another. Ignore the story?

It's a popular idiomatic expression meaning that she could be telling lies.

Yeah...no.

That makes no sense.

Are you asking me what her motives might be to lie? Obviously I don't know, but there is no fact in this story, she could be lying, it could have been closing time at the shop and it was a missunderstanding, etc.

The newspaper has no reason to publish a story like this, its reckless journalism, which promotes racism (we already have 2 pages on how racist people can be) to sell newspapers and could also cripple a local shop when they could have done nothing wrong.

People are easily lead by the media and the media have a responsibility to tell the truth. I know this is just a small piece in a crappy newspaper but its occurs all the time on a larger scale.

I have this feeling that if this was a Polish person being kicked out of a shop for being Polish you would laud the article and promote it to show an example of racism that should be stamped out.

You changed the story around and put black man in, instead of white woman, how would that change my opinion on crap journalism?

For some it will do. If not in your case then at least you're consistent.

That statement just proves the point i was trying to make, a story with no fact in it can be used to push a persons opinion no matter what it is.

Disease Ridden

I dont know why, but if a non-white made a racial insult to me for being white, I wouldnt be in the least offended. Neither would any of my white friends for that matter.

And anybody who says they wern't at least a bit shocked when the read the story because "there are racists of every nationality blah blah", seriously you're bending over backwards.

I seriously doubt it. It wouldnt be a first for this kind of shït.

Its tiring listening to people carrying on like only whites / English / Irish etc. are racist.

There is no group more racist then a minority...

The article probably fails to point out that she was wearing a full Nazi SS uniform and had 2 decapitated heads and a machine-gun hanging from her belt.

Reminds me of a cartoon I saw in an English newspaper when Jean-Marie Le Pen was planning a trip to Britain. It showed a skinheaded, BNP type looking in disgust at a poster advertising Le Pen's visit. "Bloody foreigners," the skinhead said, "Coming over here and stealing our racism."

Yes you can. Just look all around Ireland, U.S.A., South Africa, to name a few countries, and you’ll see racism at its worst.

Two very good examples of places where you can get murdered for being white.

If the shop doesn't make more money by increasing sales, then I think I've spotted the flaw in their business plan.

Are you saying that those named countries are more racist than others?
