It is rather a fight between Catholics and atheists than whites and blacks. Catholics try to lead the country to a religious state. Atheists do not agree.
That Pruszków? Well known Polish mafia headquarters? Contrary to popular belief it may be a safe town for tourists.
but I hear that the political situation isn't great and racism is becoming a bigger problem.
