Sunk cost. Cannot just drop things and go to another country as I did 20 years ago. But going back to Europe is a very real option for me when the time is right.
BTW, bigotry, sexism and provincialism in Poland are as bad if not worse than in the US. But that is exactly what pisses me off about this country - I expected to find something better rather than more of the same crap.
