maybe you have 1 or 2 examples of a foreigner being attacked in Poland and police doing nothing?
Yep me, back in 2001 in Lublin - a group of skin heads followed my wife, daughter (who was two at the time) and myself home and started to throw rocks at our windows, calling my wife a Polish ***** and smashing the windows to our daughters bedroom where she had been sleeping 20 mins before.
We called the Police and they final turned up 40 mins later when the skin heads had gone, no one was arrested and we had a letter two weeks later saying the case was closed as they couldn't find anyone who was responsible.
It didn't surprise us really as they didn't seem interested in the first place and were more interested in my work visa and stay card and I was taken to the work office in the Police car to prove my status.
Still that was a while ago and things may have changed for the better, but you cannot deny that racialism is still active in Poland as it is everywhere - maybe not on a malicious level but people still do make jokes about monkeys in trees when talking about black people.
