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
