You forgot to add that their great grandparents lived in modern day Ukraine or Belerus.
E tam pierdolisz, zostanÄ asymilowani jak borgowie
This is funny because an average Polish person may have greatgrandparents from modernday Russia, Germany, Belarus etc., but for some reason they don’t care about claiming citizenship of these countries. Why can’t Ameeicans accept they are Americans just like many Poles accept they are Polish and not German, Belarussian, Russian or whatever. I have some foreign ancestors and I don’t claim citizenship of their countries, because it would be ridiculous. I have 0,0% connection to these countries. I am 100% Polish because I was born in Poland, live here and speak Polish. Ethinicy has nothing to do with it. There isn’t DNA of a “true” Polish person. And if sb thinks that way, boy, it reminds me of a certain Austrian painter or some modern day “nationalists” who believe in “Great Lechia”. š
Serious question tho, why there are so many of them recently? I swear I see several new posts every day, when I don’t remember seeing them just a few months ago
I welcome anyone who wants to become Polish to get a Polish citizenship as long as they are geniuent about it.
I really think there are 0 americans that moved to poland besides students and people with families there
Isnt it actually kinda hard to get a polish citizenship? I am a german with polish parents. I thought about applying for one but I remember the requirements being kinda high?
Honestly I am getting mine because my parents were born in Poland and moved to Canada. I probably know polish to a b1 level. I have a lot of family members who live in Poland and have come to visit and work in Canada for a couple years and than head back. I have always wanted to try visiting/working in Poland for 2/3 years just to see what the country is like. As other commenters have kind of stated I am not some sort of ethnic supremacist, nor do I hate Canada but I figure you only live once so why not try something you are curious about.
As an American I have never been more offended by something I completely agree with
I mean if they are eligible to attain it why not? I might be a bit biased since Iām an American with polish citizenship. I understand why some people here get annoyed at it since I used to know a few kids Tahoe great grandparents moved here in the 20s yet still were pretty cringe polish nationalists.
I think poland is going to need to start incentivizing polish people to move back to Poland in the future and I donāt see why someone who is ethnically polish and might want to move back shouldnāt be able to. I do agree that they should at least have to have a basic understanding of the language tho.
21,37 % Polish xD
It is law in Poland that you recieve citizenship if you have exactly 21,37% polish heiritage.
Me who knows a bunch of bullshit about Poland:
The perception seems to be that you can get a higher standard of living in Poland vs the US if you are lower income. Wages in the US have barely risen in the past decade while rent and cost of living have skyrocketed. I think it’s reaching a tipping point where people are leaving for better opportunities/better future abroad.
Honestly been stationed out here in Poland and have to say so far itās been a beautiful country and a lot of fun definitely would be my top 5 to move to if I ever left the US
21.37%
Oooooo paaaaaaanieee!!!
Well what are your requirements for me to apply to Polish Citizenship then? Both my maternal grandparents born and raised in Poland. I was raised by my Polish grandparents nearly all the time until I was 10 years old. Afterwards I went to their house often and talked with them as much as I could in my broken Polish.
My mom speaks Polish fluently (but not at a very high level if vocabulary etc.).
I have a love for my Polish heritage. I know a fair bit of Polands history and it’s contributions. From fighting off the invading Ottomans during the crusades to independence from Soviet control.
While I have never been to Poland, I know where it is on a map and am fairly knowledgeable of where all the major cities are and in relation to one another.
Personally, I feel a love and connection for Poland. Something that I have had for a long time now.
So am I frowned upon for wanting to become a Polish citizen?
You need to be at least 21,37% polish to comment here.
Americanāt
Careful ~~Americans~~ Poles called Matthew Markovich think they own this sub lmao
But is it safe in Poland?!?!?!?
Still better than ruzzians
Can I be Polish citizen?
I ate a pierog once.
This is a stereotype I am unfamiliar with (as an American). Usually they fetishize the viking countries.
Hey, I know your flag, Tak, Nie, and Kurwa.
God damn pierogi lovers. May you roll onto Russia and flatten it.
You also Catholic as fuck. May Pope Protect you!
I love that the people who coined the term āsnowflakeā to talk about people who donāt like to be laughed at or have jokes created about them, are the first ones to come here and show how offended they are, without understanding that this is clearly a joke/satire/overstatement or whatever you want to call it. Take a chill pill guys and learn to laugh at yourselves. Thereās a million good things about USA, but one that is really not good is the fact that, due to constant propaganda since basically the country was created, everyone always really believed that the USA is the best country on earth, when itās clearly not, as we can see nowadays thanks to the internet.
And just to clear the heads of the bigger snowflakes, there is no country better than the other, every country has its flaws and benefits, just learn to laugh at your countries flaws, if there is indeed no way of changing them.
Papieska;>
Dumb American here, just saying some of us do know what is going in the world around us and actually know where other countries are. I can admit that it is a very low amount of people though, but please donāt generalize the entire American population into that.
America should just pull out all men and let you all deal with the clustetfuck that is Europe.
Have fun with Russia and China fuckheads!
Edit: dumbass under me, Europe shares a huge landmass with China. How are you this dumb? No shit it isn’t Europe, I never said it was. š
The amount of poles that move to the US every year is not even close to the amount of poles moving to the US.
Also ya letās categorize 330 million people + all the same.
Hating Americans, French, English anyone just because of their Nation is just ignorant.
Whatever tho lol, people are just hateful in general now.
But itās the cool trend now especially on Reddit to hate āAmericansā and most of this shit people say isnāt how anyone I know actsā¦ again almost like the US is a huge nation with tons and tons of varying cultures etc
This goes out to what, 48 people compared to the like couple thousand every year from Poland.
Same as everyone else, constant America bad everything yet itās still easily the most immigrated to nation on earthā¦ itās almost like realities view is a bit different than the perceived Reddit views
I’m an American who is eligible through my great grandparents, and while the idea of not going into medical bankruptcy if I break my leg is appealing, the language, climate (I live in the South here), and income situations keep me from moving my dumb ass over there.
I would gladly switch with one of you, I’m done living in Poland and I want to move to USA
Can’t be anymore polish than this.
I know everything I need to know about Poland.
My wife who has a lot of Polish heritage introduced me to PÄ czki. Best thing ever.
Hate to break it to you, but POLAND created that law. If you don’t like it, change the law. Don’t pass a stupid low bar rule and then get all pissed when people lawfully take advantage of it.
