Study / Rumor about racism - will I be fine in Poland as a black International student from Africa? [245]
Jarnowa: Yes, in comparison the crime rates of the Moroccan and Antillian group are procentually higher than the crime rates of the Dutch group. But! We're talking about small groups of people here. I live in Holland, and I can tell you with absolute certainty that one of the ugly facts is also that the Polish are the largest group of immigrants, who also happen to have the highest crime rates of all the other groups when it comes to burglary and robbery. Eastern Europeans (Not only the Polish!) are also infamous here for women-trafficking, and they share this position with Arabians.
Spare me your links from the homepage of our justice department, because I can give you incredibly detailed graphics and statistics, along with the exact numbers of which nationalities, and an exact description of which crimes have been committed by whom from the CBS. (Central Bureau of Statistics.)
So if you wish to talk about the truth, then you shouldn't point your finger at one group in particular, but be prepared to look into a mirror aswell. And don't get me wrong, I can admit to criticism about the Dutch aswell if it's truthful. That said, I really hope you'll see that there are usually two sides to every story, because Arabians and Antillians aren't always treated right here, which basically means they get humiliated in public very often, and that they won't be able to get a job if it's up to a lot of people.
If they can get a job, it's usually a job no one else wants to do. Even when they have better qualifications. How would you feel if you were treated like that? Would you feel like being a part of our society? Would you feel appreciated here? Would you feel respected? I don't think so. I think you'd feel like a slave, disrespected, and I think you'd be angry at all the people who treat you like that. Nothing good will come of that. Bad apples? Every group of people has a few bad apples, and when certain groups of people have more bad apples than other groups, it's time to ask yourself why, because this usually means there's a reason.
