Life / What do Polish people think of the Asia and Middle East? [86]

@RubasznyRumcajs, I'm from VN but I don't look like a typical one.

I have black hair, fairly high nose - not flat, double eye lids, eyes not too small but def I don't look European enough. My skin is very pale since I grew up in Europe and didn't get so much sun tan - almost same color as a normal polish person so people wouldn't notice anything if I have a hood on my head or something.

So all in all, you can tell that I'm asian but not brown skin at all. You can still tell Im not Polish - unless the Mongol genes (from the Genghis Khan invasion of Poland era) still exist among the Poles.

Merged: Do Poland only dislike Middle East or do they also dislike far East Asians?

I know there is a BIG trend going on in Poland right now with everyone protesting against the influx of refugees from Middle East.

I don't interfere with Polish politics cause it's their own country but I'm a student living here since almost 6 years already. I'm from faaaar East Asian and sadly, I don't look white at all (obviously).

I have realized that in bigger cities, I feel more "accepted" but as soon as I go to smaller polish cities, people start to be rude to me (especially young men). I feel a bit worried everytime I travel by train and visiting smaller towns.

Let me ask you an honest question?

I hope Polish people don't categorize Middle East with the same category like with Far East Asian? Just because of this trend against ME, does that mean East Asians will also get affected? What's the polish views of those 2 groups of people?

It's wierd that it's so taboo in Europe not diverse the immigrants group like in USA:

Cause there we have:

Asian Americans
Black Americans
Latino Americans
Middle East Americans
White Americans
Native Americans

I think it's nothing wrong with this system at all. He in Europe, you are just either an immigrant or a native. There are too much political correctness involved.

So my final question is still: Do Polish people have negative thoughts about East Asians also due to recent events in Europe or are we spared?
