    To whom it may concern - To be Pole doesn't mean to be white. To become a Pole, one can accept our history, tradition, habits ( good ones), and lifestyle (more family-orientated than Western ones) and be aware that the Roman - Catholic religion is the base of our nationality. All of these become easy when you speak Polish. There are many people in the history of Poland who are our national heroes without any drop of Polish blood

    Asian's good reputation in Poland was being build for well over half a century and you have to thank mostly the Vietnamese population in Poland for that. Vietnamese Immigration to Poland has begun in the 50's through communist countries exchange programs which lasted untill the 80's. After fall of the communism in Poland with free market available - many more Vietnamese has come to Poland, being lured by the new opportunities (about which they knew from their relatives that were already in PL) to make business. And they have showed themselves as very hard-working, focused on building a new, better lives for themselves. Many of them started various businesses, as they are very entrepreneurial. Adding that to their general politeness and "not-problem-generating" behaviour makes for a perfect immigrant for us, since those are the values that are highly commended in Poland.

    I always thought we are culturally closer to the West, until I moved to Western Europe. I started noticing our culture and mentality is actually more similar to the Asian one. Even things like e.g. respect for elders, caring about our ancestors graves, eating after funeral/bringing food to the dead. But what suprised me the most is when I saw a scene in a Korean drama when a man poured some alcohol on the ground next to the grave - all my friends used to do the same. Living in the West turned out to be quite eye opening experience for me in that matter 🙂

    as a polish i can say that we love dark humor , and if it is racist joke its not because we hate race , its not bad intended , its more for laugh at it , just don't take it personal its not serious . Other thing i can say is we don't think about ethniticy , there is no thing like in US that police will do something bad to you or don't sell something because you're from other coutry , that type of racist nearly don't exist , sometimes happens that someone say comeback to your country but it happens only because we really don't like when someone tells us that we should do in our country something like activists or when someone comes to our country for social no for work and if someone watch too much tv he can think that whole ethnicy group do one of these hated stuff he will became racist , like tv say that imigrants from middle east don't work in germany and france but they do crime , its partitionaly true but most of these people are not like that but then that 40 years people will think most of them are bad or something , also when imigrants will disturb or want something to change in our country it will boost up racism to that people , but if you're normal and don't tells us what to do , we will accept like you're another polish person

    I think the main problem in how Asian people are being treated (sometimes) in Poland is not nationalism, but xenophobia. Until very recently, lots of Poles had an exposure to other races which ranged from limited to non-existent, and fear of the unknown is pretty much a given. I grew up in a reasonably large Polish city of ~200,000 inhabitants, with a couple of universities and some advanced (for "communist" times) industry, and until ~1990 the only "non-Caucasian" people I met were just a few Palestinians studying medicine!

    8:23 The common past related to communism certainly unites us in the sense that we understand each other, what it is like when the authorities don`t respect their citizens and don`t care about them, only filling their own pockets with money while ordinary people are intentionally kept in poverty. Yes, communism in russia or China works a little differently now... but I think that we Poles clearly have sympathy for you guys. Yes, communism didn`t stay with us for long, but it was long enough to give us a lot to think about. It is worth noting one thing, and I say this as a Polish woman, Asian women are beautiful, you look young for a very long time, you have wonderful dominant genes and even mixtures of our genes with yours create very beautiful children... So I am not surprised that both women and men from Polish people want relationships with Asians because you are simply attractive ;). Remember that the 40+ generation is brought up in communist Poland and the older generation still remembers World War II, it is a traumatized part of our society. I don't want to explain the racists of that generation... but it's worth keeping in mind that they've been through a lot and don't know English like the younger generation... so even the Internet isn`t as open to them as it is to us. So they live in their beliefs and aren`t open to new experiences, so it's better to stay away from them ;) and absolutely don't worry about them unless they break the law - then feel free to report them to the police.

    As a Polish I can say that our jokes might be considered racist but usually are not intended to be racist. We joke about everyone it doesn't matter who you are. The thing is in Poland you have to feel distance from yourself. Don't take everything personally and understand that this is only a joke, meant to make you laugh and to break the ice not feel rejected. We also joke about ourselves so yeah. If we're joking it means that we enjoy the time with the other person and usually want to spend more time to get to know them more. Of course I'm not saying that in Poland we don't have racist people, when you experience racism you can hear the difference between the normal friendly jokes and racism poking. But at this age seeing people like that is rare. Everywhere where you go there will be racism. It's just normal. People have different thoughts so yeah. Don't be discouraged to visit different places just because of racism. It is bad but it shouldn't stop you from getting to know other people, culture and places.

    With some jokes it can be that we don't know they're offensive but with some we know they are offensive, but we just like such humour and don't take those jokes too serious. We even like to joke like that about ourselves. Like do you do know why Russians when they go to Germany to steal cars always take 2? Because they want to still have 1 after going back through Poland. What shows our sense of humour is that we actually like to joke about the WW2, the most tragic event in our whole history. One of the most iconic Polish movies is "How I started the 2nd World War" which is a comedy from 1969. Although as a foreigner it's better to avoid making such jokes unless you're 100% sure it will get a positive reaction.

    Poland did not have colonies, okay, it had some in the form of Kunta Kinte or Trinidad and Tobago, but not even directly, only through its tributaries, and it was in the 16th century for a short time, if I am not mistaken. No one came from there, but Poland was still quite ethnically complex for centuries. Polish-Lithuanian alliance, Ruthenians (progenitors of Ukrainians), Belarusians, Jews, Germans, and even smaller minorities, e.g. Armenians (for some time bankers of Polish kings) or Tatars (that's how it is!) - their Muslim descendants still live in Poland today . But it was - more or less - a similar cultural circle. World War II brought about the extermination of the Jews thanks to the German Nazis, after the war the borders changed and suddenly Poles became a homogeneous nation of over 90%. It was only in the early 1990s that people from Asia or Africa with different skin colors began to come to us in large numbers. And whole generations grew up here who, due to the country's communist isolation, could not travel around the world. So it's no wonder that people of a different "race" can still surprise, especially older generations, but I also hope that the spirit of the tradition of openness and tolerance has remained in the nation.

    Polish people are in general not really racist - in the past, before the country started to collapse, Poland was one of the most multinational countries in the world. Often foreigners mistake thugs aggression with racism - but the truth is that pretty much all polish males in Poland also got some kind of issues on the street - including being beaten up - for foreigners it is just easier to find the reason :) As said in the video - we have lots of respect for Asian people due to the culture values and hard working. Last but not least - we love good food - and Asian is just wonderful :D

    I personally think that awareness of foreigners doesn’t come from history of invasions, but rather from history of isolation. Also from our demographic: in cencus from 2011, 99,7% of poles declared to be white, so we notice different looks more (we may stare, and I would dare to bet that at least 1/3 of Poles never saw a person of different race in real life)

You don't have to be white to be Polish. And I am not a racist. - Yeah, we're in Poland, so let's try Polish first! And then in 99% of cases they turn out to be foreigners.

    With tatoos it would be more in the cities. In suburbs it might less like that. In Poland having a tatoo is a symbol of being a badass. Many older generation' family memebers think only low lifes have tatoos (like criminals). And girls here strive for independence more. I think tatoos are a part of empowering for girls.

    A small comparison of perhaps not races, but cultural backgrounds. Asians are seen in Poland as honest, hard-working people with a rich history. Asians come to Poland to work and lead a normal life. They assimilate, respect our traditions, do not impose their values, but also remain true to their own traditions. Mutual respect. Middle Easterners are seen as a potential threat because of their radical religion. We have a rich history full of wars but also mutual respect towards Islamic nations, who knows the history of Poland knows, unfortunately in the 21st century some radical Arab groups have sown unrest in the Western world. It's becoming more and more common to see radical people, and we don't like that, so we keep more distance. But if we see someone from that region coming to work honestly or study honestly and contribute something to society, there is no problem. As for people of black color, their directness and constant smiling usually pester us. We feel as if they want to impose themselves on us. We need time to get used to new people, and here it doesn't matter the color of the skin, but black people want acceptance immediately and without giving us time they immediately think we are treating them racist. They fail to see that we behave the same way towards any stranger, regardless of skin color. Blacks take it as a personal insult. Or at least I have had that experience. As for racist comments from certain people, I'm a white Polish woman, but I've also heard ugly comments. There are certain people who are just highly unhappy and mean and the color of your skin or background is as much a reason for them to be insulted as your gender, age, weight or the clothes you are wearing. I'm not saying that there are no racists in Poland, but most racists don't manifest their hatred, they simply don't interact with other races. Those who manifest their dislike are just unhappy people who hate everyone or difficult stupid kids. PS. I love Asian man and Chinese, Japanese and Korean dramas.

    Poles have specific kind of humour. Most of us are quite distanced and we laugh at ourselves too, we just don't take it personally. We just laugh at each other, call oursevles stupid and whatever - and we just don't care. We just know that somebody doesn't mean it, or even "well, actually he kinda has a point, which is funny in itself". That comes out of natural polish honesty. "Polish face" is another sign of that. You can clearly see when a Pole is hostile to you and when he's not, and just joking. But I get it that it takes time to get used to it. I mean, we may even call asians "the little yellow people" or "slant-eyes" or "yellows", but most of the times we don't really mean to be hostile, we are just ...bluntly descriptive? For example I'm like 170 cm tall which is not a lot and I'm also a little bit fatty (actually not that much, but exaggeration makes it even funnier), so when somebody calls "hey, come here you obese dwarf" it's like "wait, who's calling me?" xD And I just don't care, I know that people like to joke about me like that (well, actually most of the times it's me who starts to joke from myself), and I joke about them to make it even. If I know that they are not REALLY trying to insult me - I can just say "fuck off or I will crush you with my belly" and we both laugh. We don't really believe in "body positivity" in Poland, so I see it mostly as my fault by being gluttonous lazy-ass, so why should I be offended if they are just describing reality? Just look on the face, and if they don't look hostile - they aren't, but our sense of humour is brutally blunt and completely insensitive. We don't get offended easily and like people who are not offended easily and can sustain some kind of "word-induced damage". So you actually may have a polish friend who can out of nowhere call you "yellow guy" with 0% hostility, just to provoke you to say something even more offensive to him in return. Most of us just don't really care, especially younger generations ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Also language is extremely important in Poland. You know polish - for most of us you are one of us. Learning that seriously fucked up and not really popular language requires a lot of dedication and only someone who REALLY wants to blend in would dare to even try to do such thing. I've seen black people at the gym sometimes, and I was thinking "immigrants or something? what are these black people doing here in the first place?". Suddenly one of them slipped on something and yelled perfectly crisp "Kurwa!", and I was immediately like "nope, one of ours". When you know polish you are nearly immediately part of the family. This language is extremely hard and many Poles don't even speak it properly, so it's very easy and very reliable test if you are "one of us" or "just passing by".

    Also something that may to some degree influence why Slavic people tend to like Asians is the fact that Slavs and Asians actually still share a lot of facial features. You probably never played around with professional 3D character creators, but if you actually combine a typical North Indian / Pakistani face (big eyes, big noses, long face) with a typical Central Asian face (round face, small noses, small tilted eyes) you will get pretty close to what a modern day Slavic face looks like and obviously visual familiarity does help subconsciously to accept / tolerate another human being.

    Please, please, pleaase, don't put everything under the "rasism" label. Like mentioned at the beginning of the video, large numbers of Asian people migrated to Poland in the second half of the 20th century and in the early 2000s, so if you meet a middle-aged person, it's probably economy-based resentment. The same that Ukrainians may be getting nowadays and the same that Poles have been getting since we started migrating to places, such as the UK or Ireland. The people who back then were in their productive years considered Asians as people who take away jobs from the native people.
