Didn't know that. Family is at least 5 generations in America. Most settled in northern MN. Same climate as Poland. Really know nothing of old country or customs.As an American born Pollack who is very non PC I take offense at no slur. It's called having a thick skin and considering the source. Too bad other groups don't learn this.
I just carry a burden of a name that uses every consonant in the alphabet.
Polak is hardly a slur, it's actually the male form of Pole in the Polish language.
I have posted else where with the name Polak Potrafi, meaning the Pole man can do it.
Pretty much a red neck American.
My family came to the U.S.A just before WW1.
I didn't know too much about Poles either, but I have spent years researching different peoples out of curiosity, and of course this includes Poles, I think Poland has an amazing, bittersweet history.
As Polish Poet Adam Mickiewicz stated, Poles are like Jesus suffering on the cross for their good deeds.
