It examines both the level of ethnicity (cultural) maintenance in a white assumed assimilated - minority ethnic group and, whether it is possible to assess the impact of such maintenance on personal health, well-being, and quality of life. The research design also includes a smaller selection of 1st generation UK and USA Polish respondents which act as a cultural nuances` control group, in order to examine how the two sites accommodated 1st and later 2nd generation Poles. The fieldwork employed `multi` methods, though was primarily empirical. The results, borne out across social groups, indicate varying degrees of maintained ethnic lifestyles, racial discrimination, and, a presumed impact on some health outcomes. Several differences can be explained by the two different environments, and, the 1st the generations diasporic and exiled community histories. These aside, maintaining one`s ethnic roots can for some Poles in the UK and US be just as problematic, albeit in differing ways, as for members of non-white ethnic minorities.
