A week ago I was questioned by a journalist of Polish Newsweek on the issue of a number of boorishness, rude and aggressive behaviour among Polish community in Ireland. I still meet some rude and aggressive Poles, but I must admit, it is now much less frequent than 1 year ago, and it doesn’t mean that I am more blind than the time when I arrived in Ireland (I have described it on my blog one year ago).
Nowadays, being involved in integration of Polish society I can see growing awareness of proper behaviour among Poles. More people are aware of what they should do and what they should not.
The article, with quotation of my opinions, was published in today’s Polish Newsweek edition.

Newsweek? Wow! Congrats, Mac. That is very high profile.
I haven’t noticed Polish people being rude. In fact, I have always been impressed by how well-behaved Polish people are.
Perhaps you’re being too hard on Polish people. Don’t forget, Irish people can be very rude too.
You are right Bock. Irish people can be exceptionally rude at times. Especially to Polish people. Which is something that when I witness I get quite ashamed of.
Irish people are rasists, let’s face it.
Lili, and you are racist as well expressing such generalisations.
You could also write Polish people are anti-Semitic, Americans are stupid and Germans are Nazis. It is the same sort of generalisation.
Maybe racism that you are experiencing is because of your own racist attitude. think about it.
