We all know what a Polish straight is but last weekend the question came up.........is there such a thing as a Polish 50 straight? Never thought about that before.

Birch, lighten up. Where I worked for 35 years, if someone knew something bothered you, everyone would make sure you never heard the end of it. Jews, Canadians, Italians, Germans, Mexicans, Africans, he!!, everyone gets made fun of at sometime or another. This thread wasn't about the polkas being stupid but that they can't shoot worth a sh!!. Please don't take that as racist - just my attempt of a little humor.

First time I heard the term "Polish straight" and asked what that was, I was told it is 4 rounds of 24 for a total of 96.

The term "Polish straight" has been around forever, whether it's racists or not.

To be perfectly honest with you, it's always made me uncomfortable.

Good Luck and Good Shooting!

A lot of these people did not grow up in the same times I did.
Name calling, bullying, no lgbt or whatever it is was just part of everyday life and you endured it.
Just the way it was back then and yes times have changed but maybe not for the better in a lot of cases.
My 2 cents, your opinion may/will differ but I really do not care.
Sorry if that offends anyone, now, is that politically correct for these wonderful times?

I have a black friend who goes by “Bucky”. He introduces himself as that. He’s not a snowflake and sees the humor in things meant to be funny as opposed to demeaning. If you can’t laugh together, you have nothing.

She probably calls herself that because she was born in Poland and is therefore Polish because it's her Nationality. ..... or maybe her parents were born in Poland, and that's her family heritage and ancestory. Nationality is not a Race

I had never thought of it as racist, I guess I am just old. If you look up Nobel Peace Prize winners you won't think of Polish as dimwitted.
Being from eastern KY, everybody thinks we have a brother named Bubba.
