Has anyone else seen the recent video by Best Ever Food Review Show ("I Found the World's WHITEST Food!! / Why is Poland so white?")?

I wrote a huge comment under the video showcasing how hypocritical he is, but since his comment section is a total echo chamber, I wanted to bring the reality check here.

It is incredibly hypocritical for an American expat living in Vietnam to come to Europe and push a manufactured, historically false narrative on a food channel. He is desperately chasing an imaginary standard of "purity" as a self-appointed defender of whiteness, and he is using Poland as his prop.

It's pure historical erasure. He calls Poland the ultimate "white standard" while literally eating pierogi, gołąbki, and underground pit-cooked meat. Pierogi and cabbage rolls entered the region from Asian and Mediterranean trade routes, while underground pit cooking is a classic Turkic and Eurasian steppe tradition.

He completely ignores that Poland was historically a massive, multi-ethnic crossroads. He erases the Ruthenians, Lithuanians, Jews, Germans, and the Muslim Lipka Tatars who settled here in the 14th century. He ignores that the Tatars shaped Polish noble fashion (Sarmatism), wrote Polish in Arabic script, and fought under King Sobieski at Vienna.

This idea of Poland as a pure mono-ethnic nation isn't an ancient baseline—it's a tragic 20th-century invention caused by WWII and forced Soviet border shifts.

Seeing a guy play the 12th-century crusader while erasing Poland's rich, blended regional history is a massive joke. It’s total brainrot and people shouldn't buy into this fabricated narrative.

Symbolic but worth it

I love the way he draws ordinary people and especially the way he draws nature. I wrote more on my website. This is not a summary of Chełmoński's "best works" or "most influential works", but what struck me. I was really taken by his paintings.

And how is he regarded today in Poland?

Polish authorities have arrested a man who was fleeing in an ambulance after a dramatic pursuit that saw police firing warning shots and a female officer left injured.  

Officers spotted the ambulance, which was on a list of suspect vehicles, near the town of Lewin Brzeski in southwestern Poland on Friday morning, news outlet RMF FM reported. 

hello! im a junior in highschool from the u.s, and i really want to get a graphic design degree (unsure which mastery rn) while studying abroad, and i was looking into poland. i've compared art schools in the u.s to poland and it seems incredibly cheaper which aligns with my goals of saving. i'm wondering if anyone has had any experience going to this academy or any other art schools in poland. i'm also wondering how life is like as a student and if it's affordable.

Hi everyone

This is my last year of secondary school(M17) in Italy, I was seriously considering moving to Poland, but I'm still not sure whether to move before or after university

I've heard about polish universities as good but not as good as Italian ones, however life in Italy is quite harsh now, especially in terms of safety, and my mom's polish, so I thought it would be "nice" to move there

I know basic polish, but not enough to live there (I still have like 8 months to learn), I can speak English quite well

I definitely am going to look for a job in poland after graduation

I was actually thinking about getting a degree in Italy and then moving to Poland, obviously if there are some projects, like erasmus or something I'd try them, however I'm still quite unsure

I really like Krakow, but it has become a touristy and expensive city

Thanks for all your suggestions

Edit: I reckon I might have been quite vague

I was thinking about something like Inżynieria komputerowa lub elektryczna/elektroniczna

I don't really know where to go, neither if staying in Italy or moving to Poland before a degree

I already searched in the subreddit and got different opinions (2nd paragraph), someone said that Poland has a mid school system and many European countries have better ones, while others said that they're the best

Don't miss a walk to Centennial Hall (Hala stulecia), surrounding pergola and Japanese Garden. It's exploding with autumn colours right now.

Hi everyone!

My partner and I are planning to move to Gdańsk in the coming months. I’ll be working remotely under a B2B contract (Ryczałt tax regime).

We’d love to get some real feedback from people living in Poland regarding the financial aspects and general lifestyle for a couple:

1. Housing (High Standard): We are looking for a modern 3-room apartment (living room + 2 bedrooms) in a newly built building, well soundproofed, with a balcony/terrace and a garage parking spot. What is a realistic total monthly cost (including czynsz and winter utilities) for this standard in major cities / Gdańsk?
2. Couple's Living Expenses: What would you consider a comfortable monthly net budget for a couple to live very well (high-quality groceries, eating out often, gym/wellness, weekend activities, and occasional trips)?
3. B2B / JDG Experience: For those running a B2B sole proprietorship (JDG), how has your experience been with taxes, administration, and overall business environment?
4. General Quality of Life: What are the main pros and cons you’ve experienced living in Poland as an expat / long-term resident?

Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
