I'm from England but my family are polish at school and work people would call me Jew even tho I'm not Jewish or they would call me polark which some people would say jokingly but some people especially in England have a backwards view on Poland and eastern Europeans which is a shame.

I'm Czech citizen. Yeah, before second war, we were on top in machinery and economy. But England, France, Spain and all allies let Hitler to take us without any action on their part. So we all had to pay a huge price. Our economy got devastated by 40 years of communism and what's the worst, whole generatioms of people broken in their hearts (my parents). I'm 32 y.o.
Our today's Europe should be thankful that Polish people and king Sobieski drowe Turks back where they belong. You should be proud to have such a heritage of true heroes!
