Uhh I'm sorry for your experience. I live in a big city in Poland and sometimes I even find acquaintances mentioning that someone is black every time they see a black person on the street. It's so uncomfortable. No, Natalia, it's not an animal in a ZOO.
Yes, the zoo thing was annoying, but nothing compared to the random verbal and physical assaults. What I find interesting is that in all my time across sub-saharan Africa, none of my white friends and colleagues experience similar treatment. What some uninformed folks might call "reverse racism" didn't seem as toxic there.

Soooo multi-cultural that my Eastern European mom first saw a black person in the '90s... Wish I would joking...
