    usually its foreigners who ask why has Ireland such a problem with racists, not the other way round.

    We've exported our racists to kill people in pubs and shopping centres overseas, after all

    that is so 1971

    Why do people post questions that imply statements and have no sources?

    I wouldnt say Poland has a problem with racists more than any other country. I'm not really from a country Polish people would appreciate but one of my best friends here is Polish and we get on perfectly and joke about the cultural differences.

    +1. Our teachers at school taught us how Irish patriot George Bernard Shaw famously said, "burn everything British except their coal".
    Some of us went overseas and bombed others in pubs and shopping centres, and shot others in the back, in England and Holland etc. When England is playing a match, hear the racism in Irish pubs. When Ireland is playing a match, most English people are on our side. So its a bit like calling the kettle back wondering about racists in Poland when we are well known throughout Europe as racists ourselves.

    That's a very royal "us" you're using.
    You are not Irish. You're pretending to be Irish to be as racist as you want, as usual.
    Stop trying to incite people and talking sh%te.

    Im Irish and I was on holiday in Poland last year for a week and I didnt see any racism problem.

    Was there with my best friend (he's Polish but lives here in Ireland) in Krakow and Zakopane, had a blast there!

    Definately going back next year, may save up some zlotys... :D

    Yes, we have racists in Ireland.
    You also have racists in the UK.
    Tusa ina measc. An dtuigeann tú, a chara?

    Some of us? Most IRA members were British citizens. As for northern Ireland - an era which is long passed - half the violence was from Protestant paramilitaries. As for most of Europe, if anything there was sympathy to the IRA at the time, generally due to continental anti-Britishness.

    The structures of northern Ireland at the time were sectarian-racist of course, which probably explains why some British citizens took up arms against other British citizens.

    We had little to do with it - Sinn Fein at the time getting 2% vote.

    He's as Irish as colonel Myers. He may well be Colonel myers. His entire output is Norn Iron 1975-1998. He should take that to master mind, which might stop a thread on whether the Poles are uniquely racist ( they aren't) getting derailed by monomaniacal bullcrap.

    do not let them hear you insulting them like that. You may get a black eye for calling them Brits. They were Irish, usually had Irish passports etc.
    Do you think Irish Republican Patriots really thought of themselves as British, when even our teachers at school taught us how Irish patriot George Bernard Shaw famously said, "burn everything British except their coal". You have a lot to learn.

    O.P or whoever wishs define racism ? I know what it is i just want your guy's opinion on it. To me racism is wanting to hold another people down based on them been different racially. I have no doubt there are polish racists but how many are there. The thread title seems to me that you would term any polish white guy who objects to non polish immigration as "racist" why dont you see him as pro polish i wonder, If say the Chinese or Israelis wanted a homeland exclusive for the people associated with those countries would you term them racist. Maybe we can go search the web & see what the elites of those countries have planned population wise for their nations. :)

    Op tell me please about one, only one example of racism in Poland, that can't be covered with true, similar story from Ireland, or Uk.
    Or maybe start with any true examples of racism in Poland you are aware of?

    How many black or asians were killed in Poland in last few years?
    compare this to results from Ireland and Uk please.

    Ps don't forget that Polish population is Irish x 10


    ps2
    when you provide all that information open new thread about number of gun murders in Poland and Ireland:-) that will be interesting.


    ps3 don't forget to include in your statiscics numbers of racial verbal and physical abuses happenimg in Irish schools, and just standard abuses directed to all immigrants.

    ps4

    stop reading bbc and english tabloids, who are looking for "easy" readers and buyers.
    How you can trust them if their own national football players are kicked off from the squad for racist comments..

    ps5 don't tell me to go home if I don't like Ireland, cos I love this country, and decided to.staya here. I only want to put your attention on fact that you are talking about something you are not familiar with, but only heard in a tabloid.

    My understanding is that a lot of it is simply from a lack of diversity in their population

    Northern Ireland is part of the UK, and many people there would not think of themselves as British.

    I have live all of my 40+ years in the Republic, since I was born, and even I know that.;)

    @Marcin_diy Does how many non-whites where killed in a white country really prove the level of a racism imo that's going to be a very weak assessment. @TwoFace To much diversity kills diversity. What is it your saying you want a more rapid alteration of the polish population ?
