If you have only seen this once then this could be an isolated incident.
I am English have lived in £ódź for 2 months on holiday and for sure there are not many foreign people, in fact I did not see another English person the whole time I was there. I did see one Greek person however he spoke fluent Polish as his father was a Pole and I think that the fact that he spoke a good level of Polish goes a long way if he was getting any abuse or snide comments. I did see many Chinese people and a small number of people of Asian appearance and I did not notice anything untoward even when travelling on the same tram.
So... I have read this thread and I can tell you that I would personally not recommend studying in Poland if you are going to dress in clothes which stand out from the rest of the crowd especially as you are of African-American appearance UNLESS you have a very thick skin.
Unfortunately this is the reality of the situation.
Poland is one of the most homogeneous countries in the world and is predominately catholic.
I ask myself the question of what would I do in your situation... Well personally I would study in the USA as university is a very important time in your life as not only are you under enormous amounts of pressure but you also are going to have an extremely fun time as all university students do!
Welcome to the forum and if you do choose to go to Poland please stick around and discover more about Poland and the Polish culture here at Polish forums because no matter what creed or colour you are: Witamy! = We welcome you!
What did you do?
I would hope he reacted with something containing the k word and either of the s words.
