Isn't ignorance a beatific thing? *pfft*
The amount of times I have been called 'dirty fucking pole', 'polish cunt' been told to 'go back to Poland' by a knuckle dragging be-ringed, fat faced and over-stoned chav is ever increasing.
I've been asked (by Polish men) what part of Poland I am from.

It makes you wonder what British people consider 'British looking'.

Considering different parts of Britain have been invaded and settled over the centuries by Normans, Saxons, Romans (not in historical order) and various other seafaring warmongers and that our king/queen-ship has included Danes/French etc, being born a Brit and looking so would be a moot point, because the county you were born in is likely to have a high number of people with an ancestral bloodline that is from an invaders gene pool.
I look 'foreign' because my bloodline IS foreign, German to be precise! From my mum's dad's side and from dad's mum's side. What's kinda funny is that people say I look Polish, the ONLY reason for this is because we are (as they say) over-run with Poles. If it were an 'over-running' of German immigrants what is the likelihood that I will then be called a 'German cunt' or a 'Dirty fucking kraut' ? Pretty high I'd say.
I can say with an open hand that I am glad to look foreign if the ever increasing view of Brits is that we are ignorant!
I'm basically bemoaning the fact that smart, self aware Brits are in the minority, or seem to be, it's embarrasses me when someone standing near to, or is with me, tries to describe a person by saying 'foreign looking' . If you don't know shut the fuck up!
What kinda grinds my gears a little is that, I'm slightly ignorant! I find the Polish temperament hard to understand (in a vauge from-the-Polish-I have met way) and the Greek/Turkish sexual tendencies far too aggressive (based on recent past experience).
I was always too busy getting smashed out of my face or woorying about my life, to bother learning about different cultures and so hold some views now that need to be refurbished. Perhaps that is what pisses me off about ignorant folk, is the awareness of my own ignorance?
Okay this small pocket of possible hypocrisy has to end somewhere, so..

I think that perhaps, the following generations of British are going to be somewhat stoopid and ignorant,if we don't do something, but hey, who cares?


My tooth aches and I am cranky.....

End of vauge rant.

This volunteer is actually half Chezch (sp?) so it certainly wasn't in a derogatory way he said it, more of a brain-fart moment / dodgy communication way.

But, it is very difficult to say exactly where someone is from just by looking at them (unless they wear a ''proud to be a ....'' t-shirt!), and probably shouldn't be done. But it does happen. And people make all sorts of assumptions based on appearance, wether accurate or not.
Some ape leant out his van window the other day and shouted at me ''go wash your hair, you filthy fucking tramp!''. Which I am not, I assure you.
