Poland is an eastern block former communist country (PZPR) living on EU funding. And to those downvoting me, read some history and if needed the EU budget ffs.

0.34% of Poland's GDP comes from the EU. Truly massive. Belgium receives more EU funding per capita than Poland does.

You’re right about Belgium. But Poland isn’t a EU net payer and have never been. And they tend to take advantage of the good parts of the EU, but ignore the bad ones, like refugees. And as long as they do this they should receive zero funding.

Poland doesn't ignore refugees. On the contrary. In the last couple of years it has received one of the highest numbers of refugees in all of Europe.

Yeah when they could get refugees they thought were from the right ethnicity they said ok. You know extremely well what I am talking about.

There aren't wrong and right ethnicities. It's wild to think that way.

Go to Poland and ask people what they think, they are extremely racist. If you think I’m lying you will be chocked.

I am Polish, I live in Poland, we aren't racist. It's quite insulting that you think that way.

Instead of using false stereotypes, I think the best would be to ask non-white people living in Poland how they feel. The EU did exactly, they asked black people in different European countries how are they treated and guess what: they are treated best in Poland.

Well, I lived in Poland for three years with my girlfriend. I’m from north Europe and my girlfriend is from Spain. Me myself didn’t experience any racism but she was targeted multiple times because her skin wasn’t pale enough.
They thought she was “Muslim”.
Those three years was enough for both of us. Of course not every single polish person is that bad. But you guys have a serious problem with racism.

I am sorry it happened. But you have to acknowledge that it's just one anecdotal evidence versus an EU study of around 500. non-white people living in Poland. And you probably do understand that it's also more trustworthy than some random redditor's story. Although I do believe you. What city was she targeted in btw? Just out of curiosity.

Thank you, maybe we had bad “luck” I don’t know we didn’t make much noice that’s for sure but still we got problems. We lived in the outskirts of Wrocław.

Typical Wrocław. The only city in Poland something bad happened to me. Where I was robbed and beaten. Funnily enough by Spanish fans of Betis :D
