I have seen someone that wouldn’t bat an eye whenever she sees a fellow suffering helpless human, but would cry and adopt helpless stray dog or cat.

Do they consider themselves morally upright as opposed to the humans they are condemning ?

Their claims: humans are not loyal, dubious, stabbed you behind your back, etc. You can loathe a dog today but it would defend you tomorrow.

My claim: they need a loyal companion that wouldn’t condemn their bad behaviour, and would still love them regardless of their situation.

You feed them, bath them, walk or play with them, pick up after them. You scoop their poop. They can't even do chores. A child is gonna grow up someday and do this all by himself and would probably take good care of you in your old age.

Which brings me to the question: If you condemn human because they are not living as animals, specifically pets,
Do you think you’re not what you’re condemning?

How can a country with no cocoa farm be famous for chocolate?

Ghana and Ivory Coast grow over 60% of the world’s cocoa, yet earn less than 6% from the $100+ Billion Global Chocolate Industry’s Revenue

Imagine if Africa owned the chocolate industry.

Time to revolt is now!!!!

I’ve noticed what seems to be a rise in hostility toward Ukrainians in Poland recently. A few years ago, they were welcomed with open arms, but the public sentiment feels very different now. What changed?

Please don’t be diplomatic, I wanna know the truth!!!

I’d like to understand your perspective on the caste system.

I recently came across videos by Dr. Krishna on tiktok, a Dalit who spoke about his experiences with caste discrimination. Hearing his perspective made me realise there is a lot about the caste system that I don’t fully understand, so I’d like to hear from people who come from upper-caste backgrounds.

I also had an experience at a previous workplace that made me curious. Two Indian colleagues barely interacted with each other, while one of them was very close to a colleague from Pakistan. Since religion alone didn’t seem to explain the situation, I started wondering whether caste or some other cultural factor might have been involved. I don’t know if it was, which is why I’m asking rather than assuming.

I’ve also read about concerns regarding caste discrimination outside India, including discussions that have led to anti-caste discrimination policies in the US and Canada and legal measures in some places. I’m interested in understanding how widespread this issue actually is and how people from upper-caste communities view it today.

For those from families with surnames commonly associated with upper castes (such as Sharma, Gupta, Agrawal, Patel, Joshi, Bhatt, Tiwari, Pandey, and others):

Do you think caste discrimination is still a significant issue today?

What are you personally doing, if anything, to challenge caste-based discrimination?

If you believe the caste system still has a place in modern society, I’d genuinely like to understand your reasoning.

I’m asking in good faith because I’d like to hear perspectives from people with firsthand experience rather than relying only on articles or social media.

My main teacher (Ukrainian) was swapped recently for the Polish one, and after few classes, I could tell that she couldn’t explain some concepts better.

Most people still don’t realise that, there is a difference between having a knowledge about something and knowing how to teach it. I have known this since high school, when one teacher explains mathematics in a very simpler way and the other would not, therefore making it harder for us to grasp the concept. Same logic can be applied to language learning.

This ideology sticks with me even when I became a teacher many years ago. I would find the most interesting and easiest possible means to explain some concepts to my students.

Now, here is the interesting part, I was on a date with this half-pole woman that was surprised when I told her that my teacher is Ukrainian, she claimed ”why is that so? She wouldn’t know the new concepts in the language”. To me, that felt condescending and belittling. I responded, ”why should her country of origin determine what she knows, and especially when she is qualified and certified to teach. If you’re well traveled and open minded as you claimed, you should know that all of that don’t matter”

As a Nigerian that have worked with many Irish, brits and Americans, I can proudly say, grammatically, I am better than most of these folks.

P.S: after reading few comments here and making further research, I realised there is hostility between Poland and Ukraine. My intention is not to offend anyone, I appreciate everyone equally . Thank you ☺️
