Northern Irish people do not hate Polish people. Not by any means! I hold our Polish brothers and sisters in great esteem and I have never met a single Irish person who has a bad word to say about their Polish neighbours.
You are no doubt referring to a number of Polish families that were burnt out of their homes in recent years. Most of these families sadly moved into Protestant areas or areas where Protestants have historically held a majority. Polish emigrants are typically fervently Catholic. Not knowing the Northern Irish Political Situation (which is admittedly ridiculous) they moved into these ares and become unfortunate casualties, caught in the cross-fire of a long-standing conflict.
It may be that some insecure Unionists fear that a wave of Immigration from Poland may increase the chances of a United Ireland, because there are more Catholics who could vote, entering the system, thus tipping the balance in favour of Nationalism. However I think their fears are unfounded as our political situation is of little interest to people who were not born in Northern Ireland.
I would like to point out that the vast majority of Protestants in Northern Ireland are not hostile towards Polish people and you may in some rare occasions find some xenophobic Catholics who don't like anyone coming from other countries as well. Xenophobia exists everywhere it is sadly unavoidable as there will always be people susceptible to indoctrination. It's easy to blame outsiders for our own problems sometimes.
I cannot be sure if this accounts for all cases of violence directed at Polish people in Northern Ireland but I am quite sure that it explains the majority of cases. The situation seems to have improved of late and a number of Polish people have returned home because the financial situation is improving in Poland.
I think Polish people are very welcome in Northern Ireland. In my experience our two cultures are very similar and Polish people have no difficulty integrating into Northern Irish life.
Most Irish people don't hate England.
badly, filled with hate and racism
Yeah. I'm Irish and Yes we definitely do. We hate being proved wrong.
Irish hate is fuath / gráin. 'hater' would be fuathaitheoir.
Unionists in Northern Ireland hated the Anglo-Irish Agreement because they saw it as a threat to their position and the sovereignty of the UK. They believed that it undermined the principle of consent, which stated that Northern Ireland would remain part of the UK until a majority of its citizens voted otherwise. They feared that the agreement would give the Irish government undue influence over Northern Irish affairs.
Nienawidze ciebie.
The Irish don't hate Britain. There is a long history between Ireland and Britain, with Britain having invaded Ireland. This long history goes back to 1169, so it is not possible to discuss it in detail here. There is some animosity between Irish and British people but there are also very strong links between the two countries. Many Irish people live in Britain and many people in Britain are of Irish ancestry. The Irish are the largest immigrant group in Britain.
Hitler viewed the Polish people as racially inferior, and he believed that they were a threat to his vision of creating a racially pure German empire. This led to his intense hatred towards the Polish population and the subsequent brutal treatment and persecution of Polish people during World War II.
Generally they do not. Individuals may like or dislike other individuals. Burt such generalisations are usually untrue.
