Totally agreed as far as Lech’s situation.
Not taking it personally, just curious as to what he really meant to say is all... Trust me, my husband (100% Polish - 3rd gen. American) has told me some of the funniest “dumb polack” jokes I’ve ever heard.
When someone tries to say that Polish people are stupid I just point them to this article at Cracked.com: [Minor Language Warning]

Well, it mught just be that, if Lech Walensa doesn't know the difference between capitalism and OWS, he might be a "dumb polack." As for myself, over the past decade I've come to appreciate Polish folks. Curious though: Do they like beer?
