Did you know that we're called "Polacos"?

Did you know that we have a lot in common?

You have probably heard that we, Catalans, are called “Polacos” ( the Spanish word for Polish). In fact, we even have a comedy programme on TV called Polònia ( Poland) which parodies the weekly political events in our country.

Why are we called “Polacos”? Because, apart from Spanish, we speak another language, Catalan, and have our own culture etc.. .We’re, more or less, like the Scottish, Irish or Welsh. The word “Polacos” can be offensive. It depends on how you use it. However, you can also take things easy or even feel amused by the idea of being different.

Have you got similar conflicts in your country?
