Life / Mixed race girl in Poland, good idea? [149]

I am a mixed race girl from England and there are now many polish people at my school. Most of them are very friendly and help me learn Polish and hang around with me, but there are a few who can be racist towards those of a different skin colour to themselves for no reason what-so-ever. I have been thinking about going to Poland for a while in the future but am kind of worried about what the Polish people will be like, (not from my own thinking but from stories that i have heard about my 'coloured' friends going to poland and being disrespected.) I love learning Polish and would love to go out there but I don't know If It would be a good idea or not. What do you all think? what are your views on black and mixed race people in Poland?

dziekuje :)

thankyou trevek :) i would start of just visiting as I have never been before. I appreciate your comment.

Enkidu - sorry to have caused offence, it was not my intention at all.
how they demonstrate this racism , well when with my polish friends they refuse to talk to them and myself, i have asked them why and the people who refuse to talk to me tell them that it is because I am not white, I have been called a n***** several times also.

Two boys have also said that they would talk to me is i was white. sorry again if the question was in your opinion somewhat racist .
