| ... it's a shame to see that the Poles are yet another immigrant group who are the subject of prejudice on the W5 forum. G Lord seems to think that it is relevant to highlight an alleged incident of a Polish woman parking across his or her driveway. Why mention this - are we supposed to think bad of all Polish people just because of what you claim one of them did? When I recently saw a young white youth (with a London accent) casually spitting all over the place at a bus stop, should I infer something about all English people from his behaviour? We have quite a lot of Poles in Southall. The ones I have encountered are always polite and conduct themselves with decorum. In fact, when I see a group of white people walking towards me it is invariably a relief to hear Polish accents - as they're generally better behaved than most of the so-called "indigs". I only mention this because others on this thread have also seen fit to make generalisations based purely on empirical evidence. P.S.:- I see that Marie Ann OConnell has used this thread as an excuse to have a good moan about the fact that the term "Paki" is no longer in common usage. Give me strength. @!!**!@!. Would she like it if I used the term "Thickie" to describe people with racist views? Thought not. |
