I was born in Poland, and I strongly believe that anyone who gets offended by the word "Polack" is a fucking pussy. Not like it even means anything other than 'Polish person' in either English or Polish.
btw- im from the US and have lived in poland 7 years now. every nationality and race in the US has had it's nicnames (german-kraut - italian-wop - japanese-nip....on and on) since they first immigrated. and i will say that blacks and native americans do have a right to complain more so than any white european immigrant because of the history they went though (more than just some jokes).
lol....and just what is the polish word for a black person?? and i suppose there's never been a joke there about them either. get a sense of humor polakiem and stop being so hypersensitive.
Dr Tomasz Piekot, speaking to Gazeta.pl, notes that the image of the 'murzyn' in Poland is
"brutal. We think they are stupid, dirty and stink. From this we get sayings of the following type: "it stinks as if it's from a murzyn hut", "it's as dark as in a murzyn's arse". It's associated with backwardness, poverty, slavery. We can after all describe someone we are using as, "this is my white murzyn". These are all negative connotations."
Bez wódki grimasy, stale bez kasy , to my Polacy. Wieczne cwaniaki wiesz co to znaczy, to my Polacy. Lubię własny naród, więksoszć nienawidzi, bojà się wszysczy wczegulnosci Żydzi, Polak cię okradnie Polak cię dopadnie, Polak nie podpuści, bo to robią tylko Ruscy :). Teraz powtarzaj dziecku - żaden madhafacka nie podskoczy do Polaka . :)
For the average Pole, it makes no difference whether you say Polack or Polish, because not everybody in Poland understands that "Polack" is offensive.
@proqp, you only prove that you don't know the definition of "rasist".
@RAPTOR948 You're welcome bro! If you speak Polish - "Nie zapomnij skąd tutaj przybyłeś :)"
@sethlevine33 Pollacks where right in place when we needed anybody to keep our stars sparkled banner out of reach from nazis. Do you wanna French fries with that?
"Misconstued" means "misinterpreted". I'm sure I have a firm enough grasp of the English AND Polish languages to be able to "Interpret" someone's words.
When you call a black person the "N" word, there is no "Misconstruement", there is just a bigoted slur against them. When you call a Pole a Polack, it's the same thing.
I don't care if you are Polish or not. You DON'T use that word. Ever.
In Polish, a Polish man is a "Polak", a Polish woman is a "Polka".
@PolPrairieMama I'm half-polish and dont know a lot about my heritage, and I'm just curious... you said in Polish, a man is called a "polak". So if that is the correct term for a male polish person, why is it offensive? Thanks
@jgk381 "Polak" is not offensive. "Polack" is. It's a word used in the US (and possibly in Germany) as an offensive word against Polish people. Just as the "n" word was (until recently in some areas) not known as a word, and therefore not offensive, in Africa, it's the same in Poland. Why would we have a word in our own language racist against ourselves? That would be stupid, no?
If you are half Polish, I suggest you start learning about your heritage. There is a lot to be proud of.
@PolPrairieMama ok thanks. I don't know the history behind the term "polack" and why its offensive. So I thought maybe it was derived somehow from the term "polak" as they are spelled very similar. Are they pronounced the same? Anyways, thanks
@jgk381 Yes, it is pronounced the same. If you want to say a Polish person, you can say that in English. Or you can say a Pole. But if you are speaking English, the word Polack is always the English word and not Polak because you are not speaking Polish. Therefore, it is the racist word.
Also, the spelling & the meaning affects which word you are meaning. Many also think the word originated in Germany, which would make sense.
Glad to see you are interested in learning the difference. :)
@jgk381 :For your information and others who may read my post, whether in the USA or in other parts of the world, let me remind you of America's racist and bigotted ways. Most ethnic groups experienced bigotry and racism. There is a negative term, name or description of all groups. Nigger, Daego, Spick, Chink, Kike, Pollack, Kraut, Wop, etc.. The word "polak" ( a Pole of the male gender) or "polka" ( a Pole of the feminine gender) are normal words in the Polish language.
@kennedyx5 Poland is known as the breadbasket of the world for good reason, much of Poland is farm land, pissing off a Polish person means you're likely to get run over by a tractor. I'm at the least 80% Polish, so I can say Polack and I mean myself, just like black people using the N-bomb. if you're not at least half Polish, you cant say Polack!
matt millen is a disgrace, he needs to be shitcanned ASAP. and by shitcanned i mean liquefied in a giant blender, mixed with feces, sealed in a giant can and shot into the sun. i never wish to see his face again. he sucks at life!!
Millen is a wanker... he screwed detroit so bad no one can even get a job. youy can buy a house in detroit for 14 bucks plus tax now. Millen is a wanker i say. The detroit river is stink and yucky because of Millen. Life expectancy is low. The place is a hole. Fuck Millen...gay bathroom wanker mo fo
God damm. So it is true that we are becomin jew-like nation if we are so oversensitive about ourselfs. For christ sakes if u r so offended by word "Polack" consider being shame of ur language aswell, cuz in Poland everyone is a Polack !!
Im Polish i speak Polish and im not ashame of word that im using with proud in my homecountry.
fuck him he ruined the lions he is a piece of shit how the fuck do u do that so fucking retarded OMG!!!!!!! and he stil has a job tlaking about foootball im sitlla fan of the lions but MATT MILLEN FUCK YOU!!!!!
@bartek4443 this morning on espn matt was on with steve young .and while young was taking about the a play were albert hanesworth didn't get up to chase micheal vick . mat millen said and i quote hanesworth said to himself i ain't chaseing that nigger.
@forreal496 I heard the same thing. It would have made the evening news but, we could a dot head in the airport smuggling some illegal curry to India.
Thank god for those TSAS and those new body machines.
Typical Irish hatetred. It's unfortunate that these people have hate like etched into there blood.These Aggressive animals seem to hate anything outside what they consider Irish and or Irish American, whatever that consists of.
What he said, horrible. What he did to the franchise in Detroit, worse than horrible. But, to act like the guy knows nothing about football. He's got five rings, he must know something. At least how to play.
Lolz yeah Polish people are a huge demographic who get offended. I want to hear some more racist comments from the 1880's. Potato Eaten micks! Damn Guineas! Cabbage eaten kraut! not really minority groups anymore.
The guy ruined my Lions, talks shit about literally the ENTIRE state of Michigan before he leaves, somehow gets a commentator job as a UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN play by play (yes, the same state he just trashed) and now talks about my heritage like it's his to joke about. What next Millen, are you going to buy me a puppy to kick it in the stomach and then talk about how it wasn't your fault? That guy doesn't deserve the airtime he gets.
This comment is no where near as offensive as what he did to the Lions. The Schwartz and Mayhew are doing their best to build a viable NFL franchise that this jackass left in ruins.
aren't there restaurants in Baltimore that are named with the term "Pollack"? Really always thought of that word moreso as a term that Polish ppl kinda flipped from a slur into an endearing statement....Millen is still an idiot for using it on air...especially if he's not polish himself...
I made a "humorous" comment that "could have been miconstrued". So, even in the apology he's still saying it was funny. And, on top of that, he's putting the blame on Polish people because apparently the only way they could have been offended was by their inaccurate perceptions of what he said. Wow. Added insult to injury.
