It’s pretty bad. I joined it in late March and got banned in mid April for correcting someone about a “Polish” dish which was in reality from Slovakia.
Some of the things there can also be found on this subreddit. Like pretending to be Polish, trying to redefine what it means to be ethnically Polish, DNA test percentages, countless misinterpretations of Polish culture, failed attempts at pronounciation, debates with Polish natives about their own culture etc.
Many members also seemed to be hardcore Catholics and Trump supporters. A few had these weird anglicized surnames that looked more RuZZian that Polish. Their common argument was that they preserved the true Polish culture while we forgot because communism.
I mean, if they’re the true Poles then why are they native English speakers rather than native Polish speakers?
i think this is where Simlish originated from
Dupla Santago… lmao.
This kind of ppl make me think worse of Americans.
This gives me a headache.
Has anyone suggested for these people to research Polish spelling and phonology so they can prounounce it right and not look and sound like idiots?
So like did anyone ever have Polski dim sum? Pyro geese? I don’t know if anyone else in history ever had it or if my Babcia imported it from the far east or something? She would often call me veegonda yak Mongol.
co kurwa? co oni pisza?
I wonder if this group is only for Americans?
I’ve heard they hate when Poles correct them as to how really say things, and if some dishes have little in common with polish cuisine so for me it’s Naaay, too cringey
Nie mam bladego pojęcia co te ich wymowy mają oznaczać, ale brzmi to jakby próbowali przywołać C’thulu.
Yeah nah this group is just a circklejerk for 40+ americans who got offended by ‘white people have no culture’ so nowe they use some random bits instead of learning about the culture. About a year ago or something there was a huge debate about word “busia” which mamy of those polish heritage people believed is a sweet alternative for babcia/grandmother and that it was used in their families, while in reality it no native polish speaker ever heard about it
It took me a while to realise they are talking about “Ojcze nasz”
Americans and their identity crisis pt. 2137
It makes me go “o kurwa” as the Polish within me dies silently.
How in the name of the father, the son and the holy spirit (amen) did “ducha świętego” become “dupla santago”.
They are trying to spell “W imię Ojca, i Syna, i Ducha Świętego, amen” phonetically, but in English. Good luck doing that I guess seeing how flawed English is… At least put the phonetical spelling in quote marks, jeez
I ain’t even Polish and I almost died of second hand embarrassment reading this
I’ve entered this fb group to laugh at them but then it just got tooo cringe for me to be there.
Also they get excited about silly shit without fully understanding the tradition, they don’t even do the research but rather base their knowledge about Poland on their half remembered story that Babcia told them. The idiocy levels through the roof. 😂
W imię Ojca i Syna, i Dupa Santiago I am very Polish
V eemyiye oyca, syna y duha svientego

Plywood poles.
My favourite post is the one where somebody gets corrected for using 🇮🇩 as polish flag and someone goes on the tangent that both 🇮🇩 and 🇵🇱 are polish flags because in the parliament it’s hanged vertically.
I Love My Polish Heritage Group is basically Americans ~~cosplaying~~ role playing as Poles based on Polish stereotypes. It’s like weebs but with Poland.
Basically weeaboos, except focused on Poland instead of Japan – a bunch of cringey idiots trying to stitch up a cargo-cult facsimile of Polish culture so that they can wear it as a hat.
We define being Polish by culture, not by any delusional notions of ethnic purity (which are both racist and uncomfortably reminiscent of the Nuremberg Laws).
By our standards, that bunch is not Polish, they’re just cosplaying Poland and the fact they get offended for being corrected by actual Polish natives and insist *our language and culture are wrong* is horrifyingly offensive.
They re just not polish but American polish… Different culture with their own language. Just happened to originated from our ancestors culture.
I love it. Watching slavaboos in their natural habitat is my favorite kind of entertainment
Polish American culture is just its own thing at this point, it’s as related to actual Polish culture as Afrikaans culture is to Dutch.
Well not only they aren’t Polish they also don’t care for their heritage. So typical Americans.
My wife is Polish (not Polish-American) and she does like a full body shudder whenever my mom talks about her best friend, whose last name is Niemec … but pronounced ‘Nee-meck’. I can see it causes her physical / psychological pain.
Endless source of cringe, love it
It’s impressive how today, in the days of internet, those people are such extremely resistant against the idea of searching up anything by themselves, and gets seriously offended if someone just tries to tell them they’re somehow wrong.
Americans after doing an online heritage test and getting they are 3% Polish.
How can you even use ENGLISH to try to describe phonetics? How am I supposed to know what pronunciation they have in mind if they’re using a non-phonetic writing system to describe it?
hahahahahahaha omg this is butchered beyond recognition… rotfl
I love the ‘phonetically’ bits; where ‘phonetically’ apparently means ‘written after head injury’
It’s a content mine for r/ShitAmericansSay
It’s role playing group for some of them, even though they don’t realize it. They want to reminisce about their Polish heritage as if it was something lost to time that only survives in their memories, that they can piece together with others in the group and fill in the gaps with their imagination. They tend to get pretty annoyed when people give them the correct answer or say they could have just googled.
Made a FB group to start promoting under these kinds of posts, although I’m pretty sure I’m gonna get banned after the first time.
I’m not exactly proud of this, but I was in a bad mood at a time and lost my patience. This thread is a good opportunity to bring up this story.
I got into a few arguments with some of the fanatical people in that group. Like others said, they just don’t want to learn; they think they are the best Poles and should be accepted as Poles even if they don’t even know basic words.
One day, after another thread of butchered answers after someone’s question, I started arguing with this one woman who was very, very upset with actual Poles from Poland, you know, those that actually spoke Polish, correcting the spelling of the mangled versions of whatever they tried to convey in their answers. The argument went into how knowledge of the Polish language is integral to Polish culture, and how those claiming to practice Polish culture should make an effort.
She said: “Spelling isn’t important, you know what I mean!”
So, feeling petty, I typed out an answer to her in English, but in phonetic Polish. She said she couldn’t understand “that gibberish,” so I told her that since spelling wasn’t important, she shouldn’t care and should be able to understand me. She blocked me after that lol.
It’s funny and annoying at the same time that people will acknowledge their heritage and instead of actually learning about it just pretend they know everything
I got banned for introducing them to Testoviron, guess they don’t really care that much about polish culture
ngl I feel really bad for them because they must constantly be having an identity crisis and want to reconnect with their heritage to cling onto some sort of identity, but on the other hand I’ve met these types of people and they piss me off so bad… tbh it’s their parents fault for not teaching them Polish
Typical “Half-American/Half-Polish” behaviour. Their great-greatgrandpa was a Polish emmigrant probably, and yet they can’t speak nothing.
It’s the same towards any nationatlity tbh but I see a lot of “Polish Heritage”
i mean i can’t blame them, my family never spoke polish at home.
BUT JESUS CHRIST THIS IS PAINFUL TO READ. at this point just go learn the actual language. these dudes really dont care about anything in the polish culture apart from being able to say „i aint ‘murican my ancestor was polish i am polish ‘murican”
i say if they never bothered to learn\understand the language, history or just talk with their polish ancestors, then they just shouldn’t try to claim the heritage.
It took me so long to know what the fuck they are saying and I wouldn’t have known if they didn’t type the phrase in English at the end. Holy SHIT that’s not even how you pronounce any of that, how did they manage it? Were they just speaking gibberish all their lives? Google is free and RIGHT THERE, there are plenty of free language courses online.
Now, I get Americans feel they don’t have a culture (mostly because they think their culture is “the default” so they don’t realise it exists) and feel the need to connect with their grandparents’ culture. And you know what? I’m all for it, research your roots, learn the language, and explore Polish culture. Our country is beautiful with a rich history, great food and traditions, and I’m all for more people getting to know it instead of thinking we’re all drunken rude kibole or Russians but to the left. But holy SHIT put some actual care into it, these people are making themselves look like goddamn clowns.
Their interest in our culture is completely superficial. They cling to their grandparents’ culture because they think it’s cool and they want something interesting to brag about to their friends and strangers, they don’t actually CARE about any of this or they would have done some actual research.
This is the most American place in the internet I’ve ever seen. These people genuinely think that being “Polish American” means that they are both American and Polish. Huge language and cultural misunderstanding. On the other hand, fellow Poles mock these poor American souls hard… I love this group.
Okay i got serious beef with that group, the amount of disrespect these idiots carry is unimaginable. I got banned there for some random thing. I repeat, no one gives a fuck your great grandparents were polish, YOU ARE AMERICAN. Blood means jack shit, a guy grom Uganda that learned polish living here will always be more Polish than these culture vultures, Jesus Christ
