Polish immigrants in the UK - victims or criminals?! [126]
This happens everywhere.
I think that all immigrants in all countries will sooner or later feel uncomfortable with the treatment they receive in their new home.
For example, I live in the U.S. and being latino is a problem here.
Indeed, there are a few bad apples, but because of those few bad apples, then all latinos are the focus of a new Anti-immigration wave. Like "hate" agains all hispanic regardless their nationality.
Specially if you live in Texas, where all the red-necks show their xenophobia and their ignorance on everything they do.
You see, when the native habitants of a country have a false sense of superiority, then, this is how they act. By attacking immigrants from inferior countries (Inferior, according to them).
For example, americans think they own the world, therefore, they demand that all undocumented immigrants be deported and kicked out of the U.S. However, they don't understand that emigrating to the US by legal means is next to impossible. Nonetheless, they want to close the borders and seal it off, so that no one would come and steal their land. They forget that this is a nation that was made and forged by immigrants.
In the U.K. something similar is going on. They believe that the U.K is superior to other countries and therefore, their collective ego dictates that they should reject other countries and its citizens.
A newspaper showing some news where a pole is committing a crime is just an excuse to fuel their hate.
The hate starts with the very reporter who writes the news. The nationality of the criminal doesn't really matter. There are criminals in every country. But the fact that they want to state the nationality of a criminal is what shows you that, to them. It matters.
It's called ignorance, insecurity and low self stem. You should just ignore them and live your live with your head up.
