HELP.

It's weird, because my boyfriend is Polish and he doesn't look italian. I don't know, alot of people are polish so I don't think it's an insult.

LoveToLaugh37 answered Friday June 16 2006, 12:22 pm: haha it depends on who the guy is.
My friend is polish and she is tall with red hair and blue eyes. I think polish people are tall, though.
POlish people have last names like
krushinski
kulungowski
kuburski
^ those are just some people i know. I'm not saying that all polish people's names start with k, and end in "ski" , though. if someone has a name like that at your school you can just see what they look like.
There really is not big physical trait that stands out in polish people. So i have no idea what your friend is talking about
Alin75 answered Friday June 16 2006, 12:04 pm: Tulipg17 is right. Very odd thing to say. There really is no difference between Polish people and the other slavic folk.
Now swedish might have been interpreted as a compliment, since most people think of Swedes as tall attractive and blonde. The Polish certainly do not have a reputation of being more attractive than any other nation... though in jokes they do have the reputation of being somewhat less bright (just in jokes mind you).
Anyway, not a compliment and probably not an insult. Maybe the guy once saw some Poish person who looks like you. I would ask him if I were in your shoes. [ Alin75's advice column | Ask Alin75 A Question ]
cheburashka answered Friday June 16 2006, 11:48 am: polish people are generally very attractive. they're normally tall, slim, with bright blue eyes and blond hair. not all of them, of course, but that's the stereotype. and their women, unlike russian women who are also very beautiful, take very good care of themselves so that they're still beautiful when they get older. so don't worry, it's a compliment =) i remember when i was in a polish airport, i was almost drooling looking at the guys there @_@ [ cheburashka's advice column | Ask cheburashka A Question ]

haloguy answered Friday June 16 2006, 10:00 am: Well, looking polish can be looked at as a compliment or whatever. It means you have light(ish) skin, and black or brown hair. Is that so wrong? [ haloguy's advice column | Ask haloguy A Question ]
Tulipg17 answered Friday June 16 2006, 7:44 am: The Polish ethnicity (classically anyway) isn't really an obvious one. Just typical European white with brown (or light) hair and some people have larger sized noses. I don't know why anyone would automatically think "Polish" when they look at anyone, since it isn't dramatically different from most non-latin Europeans. Maybe they were just asserting that you don't really look Italian, because Italian people typically DO have a very distinct look and maybe you don't share that? Who knows, I doubt they were trying to say that you were ugly or anything. [ Tulipg17's advice column | Ask Tulipg17 A Question ]
