Life / Racist violence in Poland [172]

I live in the Melting Pot of the world. So it is so weird for me to see people stare this way. I even had an 11 month old baby eyes locked on me with an astonished look.

Life / Racist violence in Poland [172]

I am black married to a Polish national. I have been there 3 times now for a total of a little under 3 months, i'm going back in May. I have never experienced any violence in Poland. I usually stay near Poznan and I frequently travel to Bydgoszcz. I do get a ton of stares and an occational person calling me Tupac :)....everyone stares though. I still like it there.

Travel / Is the general consensus in Poland that black people shouldn't visit? [35]

I am a black male married to a Polish national for 2 years now. I've been to Poland 3 times and what an experience! I love the country but the stares is a little off putting. Children were running down the street waving at me. When we went to clubs when I got up to use the restroom people would follow me in there and stand around. I hated it the first time I went now I am used to it and the staring doesn't bother me so much anymore. I usually visit the Poznan area, wife if from Wagrowiec, I think about 40 miles away. We are going back in May this year.
