Has racism towards Polish migrants increased in the UK since Brexit? [22]
In my opinion the hate crimes towards Poles have increased significantly because of the Brexit. Not since the Brexit though. I think it's since the campaign for Brexit. So, UK had problem (and still has), because they allowed too many immigrants into their country, what put a lot of the British people in worse conditions. And in my opinion is they are right about the Brexit, because European Union's policies went wrong way in so many fields. In the long run UK is better with the EU, but they need to say this strong "no" to direct things into right direction.
Anyway, back to the topic, the Brexit TV agenda focused on immigrant problems, but they were afraid of pointing out black immigrants, so they wouldn't be accused of racism. They were afraid of pointing out Muslims, as they didn't want to be accused of islamophobia, so they've chosen biggest ethnic group of white Christians and that is Poles. And if you focus whole leave campaign about saying **** about one nation you get hate crimes about this group and from the news you must see it. If you hate Poles there is no word for it. You hate blacks - you get labeled as a racist and you make your political suicide, you hate Muslims, almost the same with islamophobia, you hate Jews - antisemitism. You hate Poles - you are a bigot and most people don't even know what that means.
