Wouldnt it be ironic if the reason was "cause they keep coming over here and taking our jobs"

There are very few black people in Poland, although a south african (black) friend of mine is married to a Polish girl and is very well liked in Poland.

Most ethnic people want benefits. They wouldn't get that in Poland.

What a load of bollocks, most of them come over here wanting a decent job and to make lots of money, not to scrape by on benefits.

i went poland on a stag do a few years ago and most of us were "ethnic" - you could feel the people staring right through - and that was just at the airport.

Saying that we never had any trouble out there - but there was about 15 of us all pissed up.

Defo felt racist to me although it was never shown directly at my face.
