Life / Should I expect racism as a 'black' woman in Poland [149]
Having lived and worked in Lublin for over 14 years we get a lot of foreigners including many black people coming to study here and I have never heard of any attacks or anything like that.
Being British, when I first moved to Lublin people would stare at you as soon as you open your mouth and start to speak English, but all that has changed now and there is a lot more acceptance to all foreigners.
Lublin is mainly a student city and has a student population of about 100,000 (around 35% of the total population) attending the five Universities, so there is a liberal attitude to be seen in the city.
As with all cases when moving to an unfamiliar place find your group of friends and you will soon settle in okay.
