You get that in all countries, though, including Asian ones.
I spent a couple of month in India when I was 21 years old, with my best mate from school. Being white in India can attract endless, and not always positive, attention.
You missed the point there avjones.
What I am saying would apply to you if you went to India and then started making fun of the Indians, or any other people that are not from Indian origin.
I.e. You are a tourist, you have no respect for the laws of India, you are prejudice against them, and any other tourists who were there. That is what I mean. This is the nonsense I'm referring to that I see in many Poles here. They come here and do not integrate as well as they could.
Repling to you inwarsaw:
Yes. The majority of Poles that come to the UK are uneducated and take the less desirable jobs. They are enthusiastic because they are earning 5 times more here, doing the same jobs, so they can go back "richer". An example would be, standard waiting job here would pay from
£5.35 - £6.35/hour. In Poland I believe the average waiting wage is £1 per hour. Can you blame them for turning green with greed? I dont blame them, and I have nothing against the hard working ones that integrate well with this society. However, it does become a problem when you get the ones that are ignorant and possibly cause trouble.
Yes, to most Poles, the EU is a blessing. Thats why in many of the Western European countries, the majority of the immigration figures are Poles.
Nope. You, me, the guy/girl next door, nobody should receive threats or abuse because they look different or are from a different ethnic background. Unfortunately, this is the way it is...
And yes, if I ever saw a non-Korean taking interest in my culture and showing it, by say wearing a T-shirt with the National flag, I would find that a good thing.
What your friend went through with the Police must have been an utter nightmare, I dont wish that upon anybody...
Reflecting back to anyone else who might have been reading this, dont get put-off please. I'm proud that my fiance is Polish. I just wish I had a grey area with Poland because so far, I either LOVE them, or HATE them.
