In Response To: Of kamikaze plays and Polish primes -- for septugenarians only (joe freedman)

Joe Freedman wrote, "Of course the phrase "Polish prime" is an insult."

Anna wrote, "Use any term you like if you feel comfortable with it. It tells more about you then about Polish people."

Like countless other words, "kamikaze" and "blitz" have been borrowed from other languages and are now bona fide words in the English language. It is illogical and untrue that these two words are as insulting to anyon
