Racism and for what? (story of Egyptian guy's living in Poland) [149]
nor do I say that Poland is racist based on one racist incident.
You may well not say this but the original poster did.
Nor even have I said that Egypt is a 'tolerant paradise'.
You may well not have said this either but again the original goes on to imtimate that in his country this incident would never have happened and yet we all know for a fact it has, it does and it will happen.
The fact remains, and I stand by my original point that he can't come on here saying he was wrong in his original preception that Poland was a racially tolerant, open minded country and after an unsavoury incident that its entire population were now actually one in the same as those that beat him.
It is sheer idiocy to claim that the entire population of 38 million plus Poles are racist.
What is worse is the fact that some fool then comes on here to defend his stance and goes on to state that Poland B are stupid and in need of education. Thereby, demonstrating the very same intolerance that saw the original poster racially assaulted (Assuming it was racist attack. It may be that they were just looking to beat someone for sport. We only have the original posters word that it was racially motivated).
I was living in Brussels up to a few months ago and was attacked by 4 moroccans on a tram. I dispatched of them easily and one now sports a nice scar that will remind him for the rest of his life of his stupidity. Do I now automatically label all moroccans as racist, intolerant and narrow minded???? Of course not. These 4 individuals were not representative of an entire nation no more than those that beat the original poster were representative of the average Pole.
It is the original poster who demonstrates a lack of understanding and open-mindedness.
Poland is no different to any other country. Racist attacks happen all over the world. They are a fact of life and occurs on both sides of the divide. Black/White, Muslim/Christian, Wallonian/Flemish, Hutu/Tutsi.........etc etc etc.
