Wipe over with a cloth or duster and re-wax as required when the surface looks dull and tired. Do not wash with water. i do not consider myself white, i certainly do not get treated like “caucasian” by other “whites”. i am simply slavic. we are our own people. we are ethnic minorities in many western countries, away from our homelands and cultures as much as any other far away group. we face many similar issues and challenges (& yes, they dont understand our food or how to pronounce our names). personally, I don’t see us as “white”, and some of us may see us as part of a larger umbrella of “white.” Its really up to the individual,[you should probably ask the individual how they feel about themselves], but in the end it really doesn’t matter what “race” anyone purports us to be. we are slavs, and we are human too, no more, no less.

The rhetoric has been claimed to be a way for the Polish state to protect its citizens and culture,” let me stop you right there. You really either are completely ignorant of polish history and the suffering of our people throughout history or else you would be able to understand why Poland so strongly wants to defend itself against anything that could potentially go wrong once more. i am the FIRST generation to live freely how i want to, where i want to, without war and blodshed. i could easily stop being the first generation to live without oppression. if you think that’s something not to protect… that’s your opinion, but your opinion does not make it true. firstly, we have a large diversity of people, from light pale skin to tan/dark hair. never growing up, for once have i been taught “im white” or about race. people are people. Whilst scratches might be immediate and visible, it’s the long term effects of air and sun exposure that will cause the biggest concerns. The main one is oxidation, this is when the paint breaks down and starts to look faded. Both oxygen in the air and the heat from the sun can cause this. That’s why applying regular treatment such as the waxes mentioned above are key to long term care.

Use our Polish on log burners and fire surrounds that aren’t in use. Just apply the polish as instructed in thin layers and allow to air dry. This is evident in recent celebrations of Polish independence. Poland started celebrating its independence with an annual march in 2008. The main focus of the march has been the historical re-establishment of the Polish state after 123 years. The half a million Poles who died in the processes of state creation have been at the centre of the celebration. However, in 2017, Poland’s march of independence was marred by allegations of racism, with messages such as “pure blood, clear mind” and “Europe will be white or uninhabited” present. This fuelled concerns about the rise of xenophobia in Poland at a time when other European countries are coming to terms with ideologies of white supremacy. Poland’s migration continues with the recent migration of Poles to the United Kingdom and elsewhere in Europe. This particular migration has transformed many Polish lives from restricted people to “ free movers” with opportunities to travel, live and work in all other European Union states . This may offer an indication of why over three-quarters of CBOS Polish respondents (78%) agreed that Poland’s membership of the EU brings the country more benefits than costs.

On the other hand, car wax is used to provide a shine and protect your paintwork. Your paint needs to be protected from the oxygen in the air, UV rays from the sunlight and the rain, all of which can deteriorate your paint over time. For best results always finish with a good quality Wax as this will further enhance the finish and add a layer of protection to your furniture. poland took all of the refugees during current war in ukraine. they are our neighbors. should neighbors not be the ones to help each other? should refugees have to flee across the globe to get to “safety”? is that really the best solution? The 2019 march of independence was described as a ‘ hub for far-right groups’, with messages about the protection of Catholic nationalism, the isolation of LGBT communities, and a strong stance against mass migration on display. Given all these controversies, many have discussed whether it is time for Poland’s march of independence to move away from the kind of anti-immigrant and ‘anti-Other’ rhetoric that seems to have been revived under the current Polish government.

in fact is pretty offensive of you to even call slavic people “white” as many of us do not identify with that. as a slavic polish woman living in a nordic country, i have darker skin, i have dark hair and eyes, curly hair and i have experienced racism from natives/whites who do not see me as one of them. truth to be told, i am not. it’s quite offensive to constantly be shoved down our throats how we’re white when it suits the world but then they treat us like we’re beneath them. not quite white. but not different for some enough.
