Why most of the Polish people hate Indians??



I have watched or read on internet that most of the polish people hate Indian. Why is it so? Is it because the colour of skin?

Because Indians kill their daughters. Most Polish people don't hate Indians though.

I believe most Poles are shocked and appalled hearing about brutal rapes in India.
As for hating Indians, I doubt most Poles that much about Indians anyway.

Poles don't hate indians. They may view the country as rather poor but there isn't much overt racism against indians themselves. Only case I can think of is of a Sikh who refused to take off his turban before entering a club and the bouncer wouldn't let him in. Some say he was being racist, others say he was enforcing the dress code (usually things like hats, sweat pants etc are discouraged at clubs esp higher end ones).

Generally poles and Indians get along well and there are many Indians working in it, as engineers, some own businesses, etc.

Poland has opened up a lot in the past 10 years. In the 80s and even post prl 90s you'd rarely ever see foreigners like Africans Indians Chinese etc. There's been a Vietnamese community since commie times though, at least in my city. Now there's tons though - both tourists and workers. You have people from everywhere - west Africa China Korea Germany uk France india Spain Portugal Italy USA pakistan Chechens Georgians Ukrainians (over 1 mln ukranians migrated in the past 3 years) etc

Honestly the only group that poles discriminate against are Muslims from north Africa and middle east mainly due to the terror attacks rioting etc thats been going on regularly since the migrant crisis. However they are welcoming to the chechen Muslims that have come in and assimilated in the past few years

Sometimes blacks are called monkeys but this is generally limited to football games and black soccer players. Its not just Poland it seems in Ukraine Russia etc they do that too. However in like the larger city squares you'll see a few Africans mostly tourists esp from west Africa and no one bothers them or refuses them service or calls them names.

Just avoid some of the skinhead looking types and you'll be fine. Poles have warmed up to most nationalities in the past 10 years esp since many have worked abroad in places like uk Germany USA Canada etc

Its worth noting though that while there's many Indians that come to Poland to work or study, most end up going westward to Germany uk etc. However there's quite a few that settle down and even buy homes have families get married to poles and stay put.
