Since I do not want to be misunderstood, I have to add that my entry was not politically correct because I am a simple man and not a diplomat and I write what I feel. I would also like to add that I reacted in the same way to the bad behavior of some Poles living in Forest Hill and the surrounding area. Does this mean that as a Polish immigrant I was racist in relation to other Poles in the UK? NOT! I simply explained to them that they should respect local law and customs, that you don't pour beer and vodka at bus stops in the middle of the night, and don't shout "KURWA" - because it's illegal and unfortunately affects the perception of the entire Polish community. And after a few years, I managed to limit this anti-social behavior of these people a lot, which I am proud of. I would also like to add that no one will tell me that I am a racist for one simple reason - 80% of my friends are of African, Caribbean and Japanese origin. and I will say in the words of an old Polish film ... "For me, racism is an inconceivable thing! I do not divide people into black and white, but only into wise and stupid". If someone felt offended, I apologize to him - it was not my intention. But I continue to stand by my position on this matter and further write that this handful of members of this ethmic group not only harm the entire Forest Hill community but, above all, harm the image of the entire African-Caribbean group. And it was people from this part of our community that in yesterday's street conversations with me confirmed that maybe I wrote too harshly and politically incorrect - but I wrote the truth.
