Alright, before i start my talking i would like to mention some important points. First of all, everything that is writtin here is true and happened to me personally so i dont want somebody to fight me in the comment and argue for nothing to prove me wrong. I'm just sharing my story and hopefully others will learn from it :)
So I'm an international student from North Africa who decided to study as a full timer in Poland ( it was the most stupid decision i've ever taken so far) I arrived to poland 5 months ago and to be more specefic to Wroclaw. I chose to study here because of the polish propaganda about their universities like '' Study in Europe'' and '' Wroclaw is one of the most friendly cities'' or '' Earn a European degree'' Poles are really good in promoting sh*t but I believed all of what they said and decided to come here with a huge smile on my face. Believe it or not, but i got called a terrorist from the taxi driver who took me from the airport to my dorm ofc after giving him tips :) that was his way to thank me. But Hey! it doesnt matter. Just an a$$hole driver. in the same day or after 2 hours of my arrival i was in the city center and it was 16:00 in the middle of the day when suddenly and for no reason at all, a group consisting of 5 skinheads decided to attack me in front of everyone and literally robbed me and ran away. I was stoned. i couldnt even move or talk. Hell it was my first 2 hours in the bloody country !!! They just saw a foreigner who look '' different'' so they decided to attack me but you wanna know what was the worst part? That everybody was watching and NOBODY moved 1 step to help..... But I said, maybe it just wasnt my day and my roommate decided to take me to a club at night to cheer me up after what happened to me. aaaaand so we did :D i went clubbing for the first time in poland and i was with a group of italians, Americans and french. The thing is, when we were entering the club, these stupid bouncirs prevented me from entering with my friends!! they let them ALL enter except for me ! because ofc i'm not white with blonde hair. And when i tried to ask them in a polite way why i cannot enter, they got aggresive towards me and started to take off their shirts to punch me in the face......Can you imagine all of these things happening to you in 1 day?? Of course that hurts and made me think that i might have taken the wrong decision to come to this country and i was hoping it will get better soon. But it didnt...... By living in this country and by interacting with the locals, i realized how Racist they are. The average Polish citizen is Racist and Okay i know that someone will tell me '' Not everybody is racist'' But i'm talking about the majority of the population are. And it doesnt matter whether it's daytime or night, You can get attacked at any moment when you're crossing the street or buying some food. As soon as they discover that you're a foreigner, they start to throw stupid racist jokes and some of them can phsyically provoke you, and you CANNOT do anything about it. The police will not help you that much. At the end of the day, they are still polish with the same mentally :) and trust me, one of my professors in the university who is 58 years told told us literally '' Poles are stupid as f**k'' Yes he the said the F word. Despite that he's polish 100% but he lived in the UK for a while so when he came back to poland he realized the difference between the two cultures. He also added that '' At least 95% of Poles are Racist and the other 5% they just dont care, that doesnt mean that they're welcoming you here ! '' His words not mine. I thought he's exaggerating to be honest, but by the time i figured out that he was right. The way foreigners get treated here is beyond ******. You cannot even walk in the street without getting starred at or without finding stupid racist people who are trying to be funny in front of girls. I was the type of people who likes to socialize, who likes to dance and have fun and travel. I just wanted to live my youth but i can't. and everybody from outside of Europe feels the same. We are not welcomed here, and the locals have to show and prove it to you day by day. However, WE pay thousands and thousands of Dollars and Euros for their government then the locals spit on our faces. I cannot even go out for 1 hour without having troubles, whether somebody comes at me and ask what is my religion, or annoy my European female friends for walking with them and for example one night i was walking in the city center with my female friend then suddenly a guy came to me and asked me in agressive way '' Where the F**k are you from'' then he called my friend '' Kur*a'' for walking with me :) isnt that so cute? What's funny for me is that i cannot find a reason or excuse for them to be that arrogant. I mean Poles are acting as if they are the chosen population from God. They despise EVERYONE who has different skin colour or who's not catholic. They think that they are too good to be in the EU and that's why in the independence day they burned the EU flag then attacked my dorm ! Yes, a group of nazis attacked one of the largest international students dorm for nothing. Can you imagine how dangerous is life here?? We're almost in 2016 and yet Poles are still not used to find a different person walking in the street next to them. I pitty them for real. They are sooo closed minded and im still asking for what ?? Poland is not a rich, full of racist skinheads, full of alcohol and bit**s BUT they have to go to church every sunday because they are religious people :)
Even my Italian classmate got stabbed in the hand when he was clubbing. Italians are Europeans in ofc in the EU but still they are hated because they are still defferent, which shows that Poles are not just racist towards foreigners but also racist towards some of the European countires as well. They are haters. They have this wierd mentality that '' foreigners are here to steal their jobs bla bla bla'' but in fact, THEY are lazy asses who doesnt want to go study and get a real job. They just keep bi**hing and bit*hing and bit**ing all day and all night and complain about foreigners in their country. Hell, you dont even know how real africans get treated!! whenever they walk, people start calling them monkeys and make jokes about them. I met a 20 years old nigerian guy who was literally crying and got depressed after living 2 years here. Poles cannot leave the the hell alone, they cannot mind their business and walk in peace next to you. They have to make your life worse and worse untill you get depressed or maybe commit suicide. I have more and more and more examples of racist attacks that happned to me but ok im a man and sometimes i can deal with it. But the thing is, last weekend when i was in skytower with my classmates in a trip it was at night and it was really cold, so one of my female friends wore her scarf on her head to get warmer then suddenly a polish guy in his 20s came and literally pushed here for thinking that she's Muslim and insulted the religion then ran away and escaped inside the mall :) I figured out that it happens here quite a lot to see a ''man'' hitting a woman in the street but Hey! Poles are still the best for sure! In my opinion, i feel bad for the educated polish people in this country because they deserve much better than that. . I proved my point and I know that in the comment some people will be like '' Then why dont you leave? '' and i wish i could. The academic year has started already and i cannot leave suddenly during the semester. Once again, i dont wanna argue about what i wrote because it all happened to me and my friends and classmates. I'm hoping for the people who are considering coming here to live or study to rethink again before making a dicision that they might regret later. I changed from being a fun person to a depressed person who is dying to leave his room and go out but he cannot because he knows what's he gonna face after 10 mins from walking in the street.
