Rod, just to update you:
I was born in Poland and spend my first 12 years there.
Than I learned that we are actually of German descent enough that my parents could move to Germany and become German.
Polish was my first language.
In Germany people from Eastern Europe were, especially in the past seen as less valuable people. Like “ we don’t want to rent you this apartment, we don’t want to hire you, we don’t want you here, don’t speak your strange language in public ” less valuable.
Polish women had it “better” because some German men wanted to marry them because they “knew their place, liked to cook and looked pretty.”
When I was younger I experienced discrimination.
Now with the education I have, the german Mr Apia husband, and my bitchy attitude I don’t.
And right wing Germans concentrate on other immigrants to hate now, the once who look less European.
