What I don't get is this.

I was on a forum, and someone called someone else a brit. now to me I am a brit, I'm british, I was born here, although not english. Why am I not offended by this and why was I shocked, to find that someone does find it offensive. It's just a shortening of the of britain.

Also I looked for some polish jokes on the net to post but as I found this site http://www.lysator.liu.se/jokes/polish.html by a pole making the exact same point as I was going to, you may as well go there.
incase you didn't know my grandad is polish, he was rescued during the war(always reminds me of uncle albert when I say that)after escaping during an air raid and travelling france rough for two years, he came here and joined up to the polish part of the english army. he was posted in Atherstone where he guarded the enemy, there he met my nan. he worked hard, paid in, took very little out and like me he'd die for this country if need be.
why is it, that poles can integrate into a country so easily, there's loads coming over now, and they never have a problem with having to look for work, although some are used as slave labour. you hardly ever hear any of them cry racism, and they can laugh at them selves when others from some countries expect everything, expect not to work, play the race card at every oportunity, and generally ruin it for the others that do want to integrate. It's these ones that intigate this pc crap, not the ones that want to integrate.
