Rant Against Polish Bus Driver Turns Violent
Remember: your politically correct superiors have informed you that there is no such thing as anti Polish prejudice. It's all an invention of the right. (I read this just the other day on the Notes from Poland Facebook page).

Bieganski the Blog exists to further explore the themes of the book Bieganski the Brute Polak Stereotype, Its Role in Polish-Jewish Relations and American Popular Culture.
These themes include the false and damaging stereotype of Poles as brutes who are uniquely hateful and responsible for atrocity, and this stereotype's use in distorting WW II history and all accounts of atrocity.
This blog welcomes comments from readers that address those themes. Off-topic and anti-Semitic posts are likely to be deleted.

I have watched the video.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it surprising that there is so much street-level disrespect for Poles when there is so much Holocaust-related disrespect for Poland in academia and media? And it goes on and on and on.
If "hate speech" and "hate crime" laws were evenly enforced, they would not only encompass the profane assailant in this video. They would also encompass a large fraction of so-called Holocaust studies.
I don't think this is about Holocaust studies. I think this is about England being pushed past a tipping point when it comes to immigration.
ReplyDeleteYes and no. A recent well-promoted Polonophobic Holocaust theme has been that of the villainous Catholic Pole who just cannot wait to get the belongings of a murdered Jew. Never mind the fact that such conduct occurred in wartime, and was done by people of every nationality.
DeleteThe constant demonization of Poles that occurs in academia and media is bound to eventually filter down to the man in the street. How could it not?
