There were so many Polacks* around where I grew up (see “Hamtramck”) that I didn’t realize “Polack” was considered derogatory. They told the best Polack jokes and referred to each other as Polack. Must be like “nigger”; an ordinary word everyone understands – but some can use the word, others can’t. Comes under the 1st Amendment.
Pierogis, kielbasa, various meat dishes, karpatkas … and paczkis. Oh, yes – paczkis. Worth the trip down Joseph Campau and the bakeries along the way (if the muzzies haven’t shut them down).
Polack: an anglicisation of the Polish masculine noun Polak, which denotes a person of Polish ethnicity and typically male gender.
Consumption of paczkis on Casimir Pulaski Day is a big thing in Chicago, according to the crazy Polack I used to work with. It might even be true.
October of 68, central highlands of Vietnam, I was with the 4th ID. I’m white, a 19 year old young black man, Aldon had my 6 and I had his. We had a black foul mouthed pos transfer to our “group”. Aldon said to me one day, Joe, now that’s what we call a nigger. I will never forget that moment. May Aldon’s soul be at rest.
