@Asatru Artist - MD It's a rural college town
I just want to move to a moderately wealthy town in New Hampshire or something
This is a map of "Polish-Americans". Not very many anywhere in Washington. @Asatru Artist - MD
@godric Good point. Obviously you've thought this through much better than I have.
I have no idea what my parents were thinking choosing Washington out of all places
Washington has a surprising amount of nords
I mean it's a nice state I guess, but you'd think my parents would want to live around their own people
@Jacob since you’ve got a like pole/American duality going on, maybe you should consider living in a heavily polish city or something in the US
@Jacob those maps seem to be more about *when* your ancestors immigrated here rather than from where they immigrated. it just so happens that immigration seems to be in waves from the same places at the same time.
Like Chicago but not actually Chicago
So Polish Americans are concentrated in the same places where Italian Americans, Irish Americans, and other turn of the century immigration descendents are located
Anything in a 50 mile radius of Chicago should be off limits
@ophiuchus Yes, I've thought about that, but, to be completely honest, I don't like Polish immigrants. Poland seems to do a pretty good job at sending its worst.
@ThisIsChris That's a good point, however, the Midwest is fairly well known for having Polish communities. There's a lot of Polish stuff in Chicago from what I know, and a few other cities out there.
Goodnight everyone
Good thing I'm not polish or I'd be a bit sweaty now
what does that mean?
Dearborn used to be Polish
Gary is where its at
Self hating pole

Nice

This is interesting. Kind of crazy how there's supposedly a town that's 65% of Polish descent in the US. @ThisIsChris
@Auf WI @Asatru Artist - MD I'm not a self hating Polak, just a self hating child of immigrants lol
According to the 2000 census, the only plurality Polish county was Luzcerne county, PA (Wilkes-Barre area)
tbh
there should be none
every county should be majority American
That area is still pretty white, although Hazelton is lost to Hispanics
"American" ethnicity is generally a proxy for pre-American Revolution British ancestry
Should be able to move to Poland pretty easily
I had a friend with the last name Pollack. He was Jewish. Not sure if it's normally a Jewish name
@ThisIsChris I'm gonna do the city my family lives in wait a second
@Asatru Artist - MD I mean I can tell you where Polack jokes come from but I'd get in trouble
European ethnicity surnames are a Jewish thing
Like English
I get along well with Jews. They're less inclined towards binge drinking which is what most people at my school do for fun
