Unfortunately, our isolation from the world was caused by the "wonderful" actions of Germany and Russia in our lands. The fact that they have never taken any responsibility for it, as strong as the stigma that rests on us to this day, enormous trauma and sadness... anger and disgust... it doesn`t facilitate contact with other nations. Due to the war and "communist protection" of Russia... we are very distrustful.
If you decide to visit this country, let alone stay in this country, you have to prepare yourself mentally for a certain challenge and I don`t mean racism. Poland is a country that is trying to get up from its knees, whose citizens were treated like slaves, without respect for our life, used by their masters in many disgusting ways. Older people in this country don`t know English, in their time they learned Russian and their worldview differs from that of younger Poles because we grew up in other worlds. Older people fear the most, and this anger and "hatred" is nothing but a sign of weakness and many wounds they have on their hearts/minds. Younger Poles are more cheerful, they know English, they contact with various nations (thanks to social media, for example), so they don`t see the world in such a negative way as older people. Unfortunately, they will take their pain to their graves.
So I recommend to deal with younger Poles and not to worry about the older ones, if they behave inappropriately, ignore them, it isn`t worth arguing with them. If someone makes your life difficult and causes pain all the time - report that to police, no one has the right to treat you worse just because of where you come from and what color your skin is. Poles should be the greatest opponents of racism, because it is no different from how German hatred Jews.
We Poles are painfully honest, rude, we have a very sarcastic sense of humor, very self-critical, we like to laugh at ourselves, we are curious about the world and we need time to feel at ease with someone (introverted personality), we only show our true face with our friends. If this mentality doesn`t bother you and you are patient in making contact... you will quickly communicate with us even without knowing Polish ;) The basis for success in communication with us is a hard skin and a smile ;).
PS: We are looking at you out of curiosity, not out of hatred.
@@nowbiodun Nah. Thank you for your videos about my country ;)
Great piece here.... i can't wait to join in
@@nowbiodun it's surprising how such african students, they doing there master degree, in a foreign country I was thinking , africans, and african countries uneducated, without acces to drinking water, 💧 or having acces to food, so that automatically these lead to not really capable people, intelligent ,for society development. I guess I lost in media propaganda. with such huge population defo u gone find few excemptions of people from Middle class. like I suppose those students . that they are capable for putting the foundation for something big african continent it gone take time but africa it doesn't care it continues to open our eyes with massive high rate of births even if they struggle to feed those children with the hope that with such overgrowth of births they gone produce some few of them as investment of ther escape to poverty that is nice business 😉 africa keep growing even if u know that in the mean time u can have some loses in the battle that is life
@@nowbiodun wow that's really opened my eyes africans are among the most intelligent and smartest I have seen but I really start doubt my self 😅 cause country the outside it reflects its own people correct?? So view society as the mirror of the government or the opposite is the same point but my confuse is how such intelligent people like blacks africans they reflect poverty overgrowth of population not acces to health care system and drinking water and so on I hope u understand mu point obviously in such big massive population of Africa u gone find such few minority people that they make ther parents proud but the general image of Africa is all the rest I mentioned above and don't forget few individuals does not reflect a image of a whole country 😉
@@nowbiodun true I have meet alot of indians and africans with master degree here in europe and they have change me the image of not being put a continent or a whole country in the microscope of media or stereotypes evey individual no matter where it comes from it brings something from his country but that's doen not mean that is the reflect of the whole country by good or bad no matter if is stereotypes or media that's what I have learn
8:12 as a Polish person I can say that that has very little to do with race, we just always try to sit as far away from others as possible. If you have one sit free next to someone but there are few free spaces on the other side of the tram/bus we will go long way just not to sit right next to someone.
I don't think it is just us 😉
completely agree: we try to let other people to have a bit more personal space as well as to have a bit larger personal space for ourselves!
That's fear of otherness...
@adrianlodzermensch1828 no, that the "I don't want to touch strangers if I don't have to" behaviour. This happens with Polish people in contact with other Polish all the time. This lady feels it's racist because of her experience, "people walking away from me it's propobly because I'm black," but I'm a white average Polish guy and had the same exact experience dozens of times, it's normal here for everyone.
But that's so wierd and awkward.
@@xenocide2210facts. We do that. It is more cultural than anything
I'm a Sudanese , I lived in Poland in ninieties as a student and I worked 2 years after my graduation , , yes sometimes you meet unpleasant people , but overall polish people are so welcoming and very friendly , I have a lot of polish friends and still I visit Poland every year as I love Poland , their language and culture .
@@nowbiodun The 90s in Poland, was punks/skinhEad clash, very high crime rate, poverty, unemployment, a lot of organized crime groups police could not handle.
@@wojciechkeller8889 That is true , I used to know that from The News , but when you are in good crowd , then you can avoid all thees hassle
@@frankly70 that is true, but the sad fact is that not all of us are decent and good humans. You never know when the shit goes down, if u know what i mean.
Peace&Respect!
@@nowbiodun Actually the opposite, in the 80s for example blacks were such rarities that people were overwhelmingly friendly to them!
as long as you are legal, not shitting on our language/culture or country in general, we (mostly, i can't speak for all of us) will welcome you!!
As a Polish guy: "We love to stare at anything or everyone." It means like we're curious, interested about this person or a stuff. Mostly is like someone's is our type as a person but we are too shy to start to talk to this person.
But some of you don't do it out curiosity though.
@@Unsightly0_0Anomaly69 and there is no way to recognize reason of stare:P
@@patrolowaty yeah there actually is to an extent. If you're an observant enough person, you'll be able to detect hostility from someone simply from their body language. I think a lot of people are capable of differentiating between a stare of hostility/disgust, and genuine curiosity.
Ale to jest smieszne obracanie czegos, czyli wpatrywanie sie w kogos bez ich pozwolenia, obserwowanie kogos w sposob natretny, naruszanie kogos osobistej przestrzeni, bo szczerze mowiac jest to bardzo niekomfortowe jak ktos sie w Ciebie patrzy non stop i nie daje ci spokojnie po prostu zyc, tlumaczysz byciem zaintersowanym I zafascynowanym ta osoba dlatego tak sie mozna zachowywac??? W 99% polacy sie patrza w sposob natretny, nie ze sa ciekawi, tylko sa rasistami. Jako osoba ktora ma tylko jednego rodzica z polski i wychowywala sie w polsce cale zycie doskonale wiem co mowie I jestem osoba ktora powinna sie wypowiadac na ten temat nie ty osoba ktora jest biala I nigdy nie doswiadczyla nienawisci od kogos tylko dlatego ze nie sa biali.
I grew up in a culture where people watching or staring in general is considered VERY rude.. So we'd rather look at our phones in public instead. I kinda prefer it that way lol starting kr people watching make me so uncomfortable
I think if I would go to Zimbabwe, Sudan or any other African country as a white European, people would stare at me all the time too. Nothing wrong with that.
We were colonized by whites so we are unfortunately used to seeing whites
@@analyticalmindset oh yes
You are making foolish claims and very unfounded. I am from South Africa and I know you are talking rubbish
@@gags-villsounds5351 And i visited multiple african countries and got stared at a lot. Plus in south africa theres 10% of white ppl so its not that uncomon as it is in other african countries so stfu.
@@gags-villsounds5351 is Saudi Arabia Zimbabwe?
They skip a (sitting) place because that’s what we do in Poland, generally. We don’t want to take anyone’s space and we don’t like to be too close with people we don’t know. Greetings and lots of love for you! I hope you find your home here with time. X
Thank you 😊
The algorithms brought me to this video but I just wanted to say thank you for being kind to a stranger. The world needs more of that.
@@riderskater7248 shoutout to the algorithm 😎
@@nowbiodun LoL.
My grandad was born in 1910 and had a very long life of 103 years. He lived in a tiny town in Eastern Poland, and when he was already very old he had an Afghan doctor who was the only brown skinned person my grandad had any closer contact with in his entire life. He had no problem with that doctor whatsoever. I'm pleased to say the doctor still lives in this town with his family so I assume he's happy enough to stay 🙂
as I am a Polish man who used to live abroad for several years, I can say from my perspective, that staring at people of different races is not driven by racism in most cases in Poland, it's mostly curiosity and sometimes (especially regarding staring at ladies) the shy way of showing the interest in their appearance :)
but I can see how it can make a person uncomfortable
Thank you 🙂
@@nowbiodun BTW nice video, pretty educational and not boring at the same time :)
@@mrams0504 Thanks buddy.
@@nowbiodun In my opinion, Poland is not about racism. I took it out of school, in a nutshell. Alien=enemy. Generation 50+.We were told stories like this.I'm using a translator.
Teach them man,they don't know what are they say it
If you have open attitude, then you will have easier life. Sure we have to adapt as a country that was isolated for a long time. But truth is that majority of people in Poland do not care about your color, just what person you are.
Im Polish and I get stares from head to toe in Poland 🤣 the thing is, you get used to it If you’re growing up there. But otherwise, people are just curious! And black Polish people are standing out and are our people, we never let others hurt them and always proud of all, even though the West build the narrative as we are racist, they have the racism problems in their country! We don’t have none of the problems as for instance black America experience
Hahaha no surprises, Polish women are beautiful 😄.
Have you noticed racism towards Russians? I guess most don't see it as racism because the skin is the same color, but I'm really learning there is a real discrimination of Polish people towards Russians. Like just being born in Russia and they bitter hate you in Poland.
Actually funny thing about stares in Poland is that many people do that to each other, doesn't matter if you're black, white or asian. Obviously some will stare with some kind of hatred or whateva but mostly it's just how our culture works and looking at each other seems less uncomfortable than looking at the ground.
I love what Elizabeth said, so poignant ! She says "Why try to fit in while you Black and Black stands out" ? Simple.
8:20: We tend to avoid sitting next to another person in a bus if there's a seat available elsewhere in the bus.
EVERYONE DOES THAT.
Exactly! I am a Polish girl and now living in Colombia I still feel uncomfortable if someone is sitting close to me even if there are more free seats…
It is a cultural thing. We just like our personal space :)
Im half polish, i never noticed staring because it's so natural to do so. I went to the uk as an adult to study there, and there was a time when i was thinking why people dont look at each other, i could not understand how can u not stare. I guess its a cultural difference, nothing to do with race. Its same with staring a sit on public transport i would always take a sit far away from another person,this is what im used to and this is what most people do, its natural and i would never even think about it, but the next time i see a foreigner I will sit next to ;) however it feels unnutural to sit next to someone if there is a free space somewhere else.
So, when it comes to staring.... we hold eye contact with strangers and look at everyone. I live in UK and every time i visit poland i get shocked how much people acknowledge each other's existance there. Feels weird after being used to London where people woud just walk over you without looking 😂 So some of them probably do look out of curiosity because they are not used to having a diverse population but general staring is common for everyone. I never really noticed it growing up in PL. I realized it only after spending time abroad 😅
Hahaha 😂😂. Lovely comment, mate.
I am 69 years old Polish man, I saw a black person for the first time at age 32. You bet I stear at him I want to see as much of him as I can. Has absolutely nothing to do with the judgment I just was so interested of the dyfrencess.
I lived in UK for a while and I didn't stare at black people because there were so many of them and they looked like everyone else. But when black people started to come to Poland I couldn't stop staring (even if I tried not to), because you look so different from everybody else and often so cool - you come from a diffent continent and not only your skin looks different but also your clothing, hairstyle, colors your wear and so on. Don't worry - people will get used to you and stop staring so much eventually. You are pioneers in Poland ;) When it comes to racist people, if you weren't around they would be nasty to someone else - a girl, a boy who is smaller then them or someone who dresses differently. I think they feel inferior to other people so they try to make someone feel unwanted so that they would feel better about themselves.
Lovely comment, thanks mate.
Your post is very very beautiful. I'm a black American and I live in a country where ethnic diversity is celebrated. It makes me feel warm and happy and hopeful to see polish citizens being kind to Africans from Africa.
I one day hope to vacation in Poland and meet people like yourself. In America we have many polish immigrants that migrated to the States. And when ever I meet one I do everything possible to treat them with kindness. It's so important that the world views each other as friends.
All the best to you and yours.
Burn..Loot..Murder!
Spot on
@@riderskater7248 thats so sweet lol, my parents moved to the usa in the 80s and faced a lot of discrimination so its cool that you treat people w kindness
A few months ago I met a Polish lady in Lisbon while I was on vacation no lie I caught her looking right at me a few times with what people call “Resting bitch face” and I was freaking out because I thought I had offended her in some way without realizing it so when I waved and said hello to her she went from 😒 to 😀 instantly and said “Well it’s about time you said hello to me!” We became instant friends, I’m African American we talked about the differences we obviously have on the exterior but we also ended up actually having a lot of things in common. Tbh I feel like she and I would’ve been friend even if I were Polish or she an African American
One day I hope we can get past the differences on the outside to see that we actually can have a lot more in common with each other than we think
Just my two cents ☺️ fantastic video
@@nowbiodun I’m actually going to Warsaw soon it will be my first time going, I am excited to see what it’s like out there
@@nowbiodun I’ll have to come back another time because this first trip will only be 4 days then after that it’s off to Slovenia for 23 days
Resting bitch face is traditional polish expression also we got tradition of hospitality that causes that switch 😆
@@nowbiodun You live in Wrocław? So nice I also live there.🙃
From Polish school I learned that a stranger in Poland is an enemy. That's how it was presented to me. There is no connection with racism here.
Ppl are staring because is in our culture. Its doesnt mean nothing wrong. We are looking coz somebody has a nice make up or clothes or face 😂 i know that we are doing it with no smile on face because we are not so open like ppl from western at the beginning.
😅😅
I love that video. Poland didn’t have minorities because Hitler and Stalin killed them all. Communism isolated Poland and we have never had colonies (Thank God). Polish people weren’t exposed to diversity too much. This is why we have a lot to learn. Young people are more open-minded than older generation that have never seen any black person in their life. Also, I think a comprehensive education about Africa is needed in Poland. We need to learn from each other and grow together
It’s always the others fault…
@@misterwagner3615 Someone who is called Wagner, like Wagner Group doesn’t have a right to say bad things about Poland. There are reasons why people react the way they do. If we get to know them, we can change their patterns of behaviour. We have a lot to learn but we are learning and yes, it’s not Poles fault that Nazis and Soviets committed atrocities on us.
@@polishnorwegianandspanish9145 you go to africa dont bring multiculturism to any european country
@@polishnorwegianandspanish9145 The Poles killed a lot jews in polish towns. The Polish silesiens had two types of uniform on them. The first is a german and under a soviet. Rokosowski was a legend so it was not so bad for you. Djersinki head of the nkvd was polish. So you are not angels. You ocupied moscow in the 1600. You played as an empire and you lost.
I’m American, of Central European descent. You do not want these people in your country. They will destroy everything they touch, like they did to American inner cities.
You’d be smart to listen to me - do not let them in. European Roma are like innocent children to these violent savages.

Jakieś prostactwo i patologia po pijanemu może żartować sobie lub źle się wyrażać, normalnie jest dużo obcokrajowcom a kolor skóry ciekawi bo są różne odcienie i są też przystojni mężczyźni i piękne kobiety więc to normalne, biała kobieta o długich białych włosach też interesuje ludzi gdy odwiedza Afrykę czy mamy też uznawać to za rasizm. Liczy się człowiek jego podejście do drugiego i dystans do siebie. My często żartujemy z siebie z ludzi że wsi a ludzie ze wsi z ludzi z miasta. Trzeba mieć dystans i odpowiadać żartem :)
Been here a year and just submitted my residency papers. My husband is from here, so after the children got their own homes, we left Florida and cam back to his hometown. The stares were the first thing I had to get over when we first visited. Now I'm like, "That's right, drink it in! I'm not going anywhere."
Is the cost of living there cheap? Me and my husband are thinking about visiting and exploring some options to live.
I'm Polish man and I have to admit to what other comment said that we stare a lot. I'm staring at pretty girls, girls are staring at me, sometimes even walking with their boyfriends or husbands, so being black makes You a subject of interest in the eyes of Poles, coz we don't often see black people and they are not cmmon in Poland. And they probably look at You coz You're pretty too. Cheers.
My sister if possible to share the details of making resident visa please contact me. Greetings from Malawi
No wonder that people a staring at you, you are a beautiful woman💐. Match love from a Polish men
Well u should go back.
your drone views and videography skills are really great.

As a Pole, I want to inform everyone - we're awesome 😊
I have no doubts 😃

I don't want to translate some name calling towards black people or physical acts because that's a bad and pure sign of racism BUT! looking at people with black skin color in Poland is not racism, but pure curiosity, in Poland we do not have a very diverse community, probably 99% of the population are white people, so when we see a person with a completely different color for the first, second or even tenth time skin than ours, we look at this person because we want to see how such a person looks. I can say that although I live in Poznań, a large Polish western city, I have seen a person with black skin twice in my life, so come I know that looking at someone like this may seem not nice, unfortunately my curiosity wins ... and I look like this the person looks. But it looks exactly there in Africa, just watch white travelers who travel around Africa and everyone stares at him because just as the white people are curious about how black skin looks like, so blacks are curious about what a white person looks like, I think there is no Nothing bad in this and just human curiosity to learn another person. Sorry if i make some mistakes in my english but english it's not my number 1 language :D
How would you feel for a black man like myself to ask you why your skin is white or to touch your skin and hair for the very first time?
@@nmg1909 My friend, firstly, I did not mention touching, because I think that I can touch someone only when I get permission, so if, for example, I would like to touch someone's hair, the first thing I should ask is the person's consent. And secondly, I can cite white travelers who live or just travel in Africa, I have seen many times when some dark-skinned person wanted to see what white people's hair is like. Thirdly, I have not yet encountered a situation on the Internet such as the fact that someone asks why their skin color is black or white. (And so I find it not nice to ask someone why they are black or white) But as I mentioned, looking at someone because they have a different skin color is very often human curiosity.
@@nmg1909 i had such situation 6-7 p years ago in Dominican Republic. Seller of coconut ask me for touch my hair (blond colour). I had no problem with that.
That time I discover that also black people are curious about white people. Just in his touristic country he used to people from around the world.
Same me after being two hours in London I don't look at people from different part of world.
@@nmg1909 When I visited Egypt as a child with my family people wanted to touch our hair because we are all blonde lol
@@nmg1909 That is what they're doing in Africa, they want to touch Muzungu (white person), is this racism for you?
Guys I’m not from Poland and I’m sure your experiences are valid but please consider this. Staring or being curious is not inherently negative. I understand that it can be annoying when u stand out and can’t do anything about it but consider this. If you put a white button in the middle of 1000 black buttons. Doesnt the white stand out? It’s the same thing. If a white or black person goes to Asia it will also inherently stand out and make people look and be curious. Same thing if a white person goes to predominantly black areas of africa. It may feel irritating at times but in the end what it matters is how people treat each other which hopes is with respect and kindness.
Lovely comment. Thank you

Cool video, Zbyszek! Keep it up
I'm not the person who "stare" a lot at other people (however it sounds) but I can say that I'm for sure curious being and other races just "catch my eye" sometimes, especially that it's not very common situation to meet them in Poland. I even had a disscusion with myself what is better - staring a little more at someone different (no matter is it colour of skin or some kind of illness/dissability) or to avoid contact? Both of this reactions are pretty visiable but if we try to not make some feel strange and avoid looking at them - we will never get used to this differences. So I just try to make sure I'm not making this stare different than when I'm just looking at some stranger while going on street but sometimes is just hard (especially that I pretty much like the different look of black people
Hi and greetings from America. As a Black American that has travelled through out the Americas, it can be a little surprising at first to notice people staring when you're new to a country and haven't been there very long. It can make you wonder if those people watching so intently are welcoming or angry.
I experienced that while on vacation in South America in Argentina. I was one of just a few black Americans that was in Argentina at the time. But honestly I was probably one of very few Americans of any color in Buenos Aires. But after time and talking to various locals, I learned that it was customary to people watch in BA. Then it dawned on me that they were just curious about who is this tall good looking guy with a awesome tan in their city.
I began to relax and ultimately I figured out the culture.
But I will say that Argentines made it easier for me by simply smiling and asking questions. Their actions made me open up to them even more. And I can truthfully say those were three of the best months of all my travels. All because they smiled at me while staring. A smile is a powerful ice breaker. It sends a message that is undeniable.
In those three months I met a handful of other Black Americans in Argentina. The first thing they told me was how they couldn't understand why people stared at them so aggressively.
When I explained the reason for those stares it made them feel empowered. And they truly enjoyed their interaction with the Argentine people after that moment. To this day I have friends from Argentina. Some of the warmest people on the planet. I would tell our Polish friends to smile at any body who looks different from the locals. It will win you many new friends.
As a British black guy I came here to see what it would be like as a black person in Poland because in the UK I have lots of polish friends and have dated polish women and they have some of the soundest people I have met however It could be different when in Poland. I'm thinking of going next month to Poznan because we are going to a music festival in Holland but travelling to Germany and potentially Poland and I would really like to explore more of Poland as I really love the food people and culture.
Poznan is a nice city. I never had any problems with Polish people, to be honest. Wish you a great time in Poland.
P.S. - I made an account migration recently, and all replies I’ve ever made got deleted 😃. I am learning and enjoying reading the conversation in the comments. Love to everyone!
Please keep up this good work! My heart goes out to Africa and the absolute majority of my fellow Poles feels this way, that's for sure mate. See, indigenous Poles are slowly dying out, our brothers and sisters from over the Mediterranean Sea will replace us. I would love to pass on our knowledge, experience, culture, heritage. And this has to start as quickly as possible.
@@maciejd7850 thank you 🙂
Polish People have great sense of humor so when somebody stares at you you need to figure out something funny to say. Something to break the ice. They are just naturally curious. The old generation have never seen a black man and may have some stupid stereotypes. Their world is being turned up side down. LOL. Most of all you need to learn this difficult language. That is your ticket. If you can tell a good joke in Polish you will become life of the party.
@@Ekowal1965 haha thank you. Mowie troche po polsku 😅. Uzce się polskiego.
@@Ekowal1965 Yeah, it's like putting a fresh fish to a test in the Pen: we need to ascertain whether you are an asset or a liability to the community. Please remember the geopolitical and historic context: our proud nation has withstood both powerfull neighbours to the West and to the East. Give it some thought, how did this come about? Let me tell you: by the virtue of mental and brain power. So people are viligant and on the lookout what's going down. By testing your wit and messing around a bit we can instantly see where we're at. It's much different here as opposed let's say to the US. Staring at people here is not necessary considered a challenge or aggressive, it is either indifferent 😑 or rather positive. As a general rule take it for what it presumably is: an opportunity to learn something new.
I should definitely go to Poland and leave South Africa as I’m still feeling unwelcomed in this country after all 6years of living here. Been watching different TH-cam videos saying a lot of good things about polish people. I love Poland I must go there

I often stare at black girls in Poland because they are usually really beautiful. I always feel embarrassed when they notice that and I look away because I don't want them to think that I am racist xd Poland needs more black people.
I’ve been here for a couple months, it has been nice.
Thank you
Just discovered the video - love the integrity of the people in the video.
Thank you 🙏🏼
They will never assimilate in Europe. Now, from a safe distance, we stare at what black people and others are doing in France and other countries in the wild rotten West. Poland must keep this safe distance from black people and other non-Europeans.
Great job Biodun, kudos to you for picking such a subject, which not that long ago would've been considered .....controversial, for the lack of a better word. This is new to me as I emigrated to US a loooong time ago and at that time (late 80's) there were barely any black people in Poland and, in all my 18 years before departure, I've seen a black person only once xD Good luck and keep at it!
Thanks for the encouragement, appreciate it.
Thank you nice people to choose my Country to study and work! skin colour doesn't matter just be yourself, unfortunately homophobic people you are find in every places in the world. Poland started be a attractive place to staying for a people from another countries and Polish people just learn this new situation....so forgive them please. Wish you all best!!! Enjoy and discover this beautiful part of Europe!!!
@@nowbiodun Thank you so much! In February i go to visit Uganda for a two weeks, this is my first time in Africa i think will be a spectacular experience!!!
I support the creator that Africa is awesome.You will really enjoy and wish to come back because it has friendly people and the land is so beautiful .
Though you have to remember that the fact that it has friendly people,you will still find a few who are not friendly, and this should not bring you down to visit again.
Enjoy your 2 week stay in Uganda.Please find out about Malawi,next time visit it too,I promise you won't regret visiting it . Welcome to the land of tilapia (chambo) ,the fish specie that is found only in Malawi,out of the whole world.Malawi has also fresh air from our beautiful lake Malawi.In additional to that ,it has beautiful mountains,plains, plateaus, national parks , just to mention a few .

@@nowbiodun Well, being Polish and having lived in Sweden I wouldn't say it's that extreme. Poland is somewhere in between India where people literally sit in your lap on public transport and Sweden or any other Scandic country where you will never see two people sitting next to each other on public transport. We are pragmatic, if we can afford to have space or sit closer to people we know, we do so. But if it's impossible we just ask : may I sit next to you? And we do sit close to each other. So no reason to panic.
@@agatastaniak7459 The part where you mentioned people sitting in laps in India got me laughing like crazy 😂. You must be well-travelled 😊. That’s lovely.
I’m mixed race black and Asian from the UK and I had a very good time in Poland, no racism at all although it was just a holiday for a week
These guys are not causing any type of problems they are just going to school and working so they are helping the polish government at the same time and they are also paying taxes.
Poland is getting more and more safe for black people 😊👍 and I see so much more black people in Poland 😊👍
It's great!!! You're are welcome to Poland. There are just a bit of cringe people but there are in Germany as well. Welcome to Poland for everyone 🇵🇱
In poland are the Citys to 99% White ?
@@nowbiodun please can i have your Instagram or Facebook username..?
Invite them and speak for yourself, dude!!
@@AT-kx6fj I'm half German, half Polish, living soon in PL. I don't know what you want...
@@TravelALBERT lol if you think polish people want what happened to germany or uk youre wrong so might not want to promote that
The sit in trams it’s true. For instance, it’s part of the culture to not always sit next to the other but one thing I have noticed is that few people are indeed uncomfortable with foreigners. I’m Latina living in Poland (and my skin color is brown) and it has happened to me a couple of times.
When I’m seating on the tram or bus, I usually have my head down looking on my phone and sometimes a person sits next to me … after some time I raise my head, they notice I’m a foreigner and they immediately change attitude (they get uncomfortable) and start to: 1) move a bit more separate from me or 2) simply change place.
I don’t generalise, cos fortunately, not everybody is like that and majority of people I’m with and I know are INCREIBLE, but there are people who indeed are not comfortable with people of color.
I'm not a mentalist but I'd guess it's because they're afraid you'll start talking to them in English. Like in the Japanese case when you're in Japan, that kind of vibe. Some people, even if they know English, are afraid to use it :D
@@PacekBrudnyPlacek Yeah, I know the relationship that poles have with english but it’s a bit funny reason because, why would I speak to them and let alone in English? Nie można 😂 and to be honest I don’t complain cos I value my personal space and I love when I’m alone hahahaha it’s just, that I a lot of people say that those things don’t happen here in Poland and well, they do. Still I love Poland
@@sr2ky This is your right to feel uncomfortable about it and I'm sorry you've been having such moments. We're not flawless here but I hope you'll encounter less and less such situations. We've been changing over time to be more accustomed to foreigners and it may take some time to reach more reasonable level. Cheers! :)
@@PacekBrudnyPlacek Preach to you for such a kind words and acknowledgment! 🙌🏽 it’s true, even I get kinda shock to see how Poland is getting more multicultural, so indeed is a matter of time.
@@sr2kyPoland belongs to the Polish-Slavic Europeans. Take your "multicultural" crap back where you came from.
Elizabeth's glasess are great - I def might look at them if I would pass her on the street, I am sorry upfront. I also stare at cloth bags with interesting designs and do read anything that is on someone Tshirts ;)
With tram/bus situation: if there are totally free places somewhere in the vehicle I wouldn't sit next to anyone and I don't get people who just sit down next to me when there are other free-free places - that is inconvenient as you have less space AND the nightmare when you sitting next to window and get off on the sooner busstop then person sitting in aisle seat
I think that people would stare in smaller cities where POC are rarely seen. The fact that everybody in that video was good looking probably isn't helping XD
Great video, very important, and I'd wish it reached also to my compatriots.
As a nation we are quite (too) homogeneous in Poland, therefore for long period of time people were not used to seeing people of different origin/race. In the communists times we couldn't really travel. Since 1989 we have started exploring the world again, but it's a slow process. I'd love my country to be as open and as tollerant as we were in the XVI century.
Living abroad myself, although I'm white, I feel judged by other people because of my accents (whether it's in French or English), the way I behave or react to things (for example whenever I let woman pass through the door first). I don't want to compare myself to you guys, but somehow I can identify with some of your challenges.
Fingers crossed it will work out for your good and some of you, if not all, will call Poland home one day!
Such a beautiful comment, David. Thank you. I wish you the best wherever you are abroad.
The Half and half experience is real. Horrible in America. But a friend in Belgium definitely let me know it's not just America. Great 👍 video

Ciekawostka: 25 października 1769 roku urodził się nieślubny syn angielskiej szlachcianki Marii Dealire i nieznanego z imienia Murzyna. Mąż Marii, polski arystokrata, Konstanty Jabłonowski, przyjął chłopca Władysława za syna i nadał mu jego nazwisko oraz wychowanie i wykształcenie klasy wyższej. W 1783 Władysław zapisał się do francuskiej Królewskiej Akademii Wojskowej Ecole Militaire, gdzie był kolegą z klasy Napoleona Bonaparte. Po ukończeniu studiów wstąpił do Królewskiego Pułku Kawalerii Niemieckiej, jednostki francuskiej armii królewskiej, dochodząc do stopnia porucznika. W 1799 został awansowany do stopnia generała brygady dowódcy Legionu Polskiego wchodzącego w skład armii francuskiej. W maju 1802 został wysłany na swoją prośbę do Saint Domingue (obecnie Haiti) z Legionem Polskim, aby pomóc stłumić powstanie niewolników. Zmarł tam 29 września 1802 roku na żółtą febrę. Spośród 5200 legionistów polskich wysłanych na Saint Domingue ponad 3000 zmarło na żółtą febrę, inne choroby i walkę. Ponad 1000 wróciło do Francji lub wyjechało do francuskich lub innych europejskich kolonii w obu Amerykach, a 400-500 zdezerterowało i przyłączyło się do buntu. Po wygranej wojnie i ogłoszeniu niepodległości przywódca haitański Jean Jacques Dessalines nadał pozostałym polskim żołnierzom i ich potomkom wieczyste obywatelstwo haitańskie.

Well I am new to this channel and I would love to travel to Poland as an African American who has been to and lived in the Far East part of Russia ( Amur Region) on two separate occasions. Its was a very interesting experience one I will never forget due to the fact one most Russians in the area would confuse me with the Turks, the Indian's (India 🇮🇳 ), or someone from Mongolia until I would speak or my friend would translate I was American. Yes people stare at me, interrupted me while eating or hanging out with friends wanting to interact with me on some levels. I have never been to Poland or Germany based on stereotypes I heard growing up but now I have travel to places that I can interact with the locals to learn more about the culture and people of the country. Would like to come to Poland
Come around. You will have a good time in Poland. Lovely country.
I wish you all the best in Poland!
Thank you
Any chance of you going to Haiti to interview polish people that are living there? Being mixed, I hear some have blue eyes, blonde hair. Also, they still speak polish. (I realize currently situations in Haiti are not safe).

Many black people point out that Poles are staring at them but if you throw away the stereotypes and look at it, Poles stare at everyone is probably a national trait (and it's not staring in a bad way). Many black people see Poland as white and racist at first glance.... But Poland has never been a colonial country.... And that's why the perception of Poles by the colonial syndrome is wrong and a bit unfair.... if you learn a little Polish language then maybe you will see what Poles really are because a big obstacle to get to know Poland and its soul can be a language barrier....
Thanks, buddy. My experience here has been good and I have no problem with anyone.
@biodBiodun please also make a video on international students and what they do as their part time jobs
I have videos on the channel talking about jobs. International students are allowed to work full time. You don’t have to limit yourself to part time jobs.
I love your videos bro...
Im Polish and all Polish People i know they all respect all People its all about the respect we don't hang out with racist type of People that is nothing we accept in life we living.. and there are People that are racist but they grow up with wrong People .. first of all is parents Who need to teach their children the right way .
Bro I’m black and honestly I love polish people like i grew up with a lovely lady called Barbara she was like my second mum and my mums best friend I’ve never had any racism from the polish In fact the complete opposite I even went to Poland with my polish friend just over a month ago and his family were so welcoming to me let me stay with them even tho I said I would book a hotel fed me every single day reminds me of how the same hospitality as us Jamaicans have respect to u and your county brother
@@ajmedia559 thats great 👌🏻 ..
I must admit that sometimes I like to discreetly look at a person who I find attractive and I try not to let them feel it, but it's not always possible. I can see that this is probably my city, or rather, for sure, ha ha. Dark-skinned girls are often very interesting because of their appearance and behavior. And some are pretty. They are very happy to put on headphones and listen to music because they are musical 🎶
Haha 😄 fair enough
Nice content. Kudos 👏

You very kind at heart.
True i try not to stare but i find different people interesting and i always wonder if i should try to compliment in polish or english or if that would be too much attention for them
I TOOK THE WOoOoOoOoOCK TO POLAND
Not all people stare with bad intention - they do because they are curious. Black people in Poland are still pretty rare. So when people see something rare to them, they feed their eyes with it, so to say. Same with fashion some black people wear, sometimes inspired by their native traditional fashion, the way they make their hair etc. It's like seeing Unicorns to some. Sometimes people also get self-conscious about being tempted to stare, and they avoid looking at all, and it also is awkward.
Hey hey can I ask which city is more expensive... lublin or wroclaw . And which would you recommend
@@nowbiodun why would you recommend it?
First of all - if you are "black" and you see people looking at you (especially older persons) it means only interest in your appearance. Such an appearance is not everyday in Poland, like the appearance of a completely redhead or a very blond person. They'll try to be discreet, but you'll probably notice anyway. No racism. Secondly - learn Polish if you want to be here for longer - it will open all doors for you. And also try to find out something about our history, for Poles this knowledge is very important, it will open a road to the hearts of Pole
Dziękuję. Thanks for the lovely comment. I am learning Polish and hope to be able to speak fluently soon 😄
@@nowbiodun One more thing, I haven't seen a "black man"🙂 yet. When I lie on a beach by the Baltic Sea, I turn brown. Only the shade differs me from Africans :) Pigment doesn't make a difference :) Let's not get crazy and be good to each other.👍
@@jankowalski3220 this is the most beautiful thing I’ve read today. Thank you
@@nowbiodun This is how Polish people think. We do not think in "races". We look at all sorts of pigments in humans as their secondary invdividual appearance traits. Really. So you are more seen as "dark skinned person" with a certain eye colour than any "race representative". We sometimes think about phenotypes, so looks from various countries or ethnic groups. We do recognize them and their languages pretty well in Poland. But it comes from our curiosity for travelling and other cultures. Many well-known anthropoligists wh lived among people of colour were actually Polish. Like Bronisław Malinowski who lived on Pacific Ocean islands for years. Poland has tradition of trade with various ethnic groups and cultures that for centuries felt exotic to white Europeans, so we fall back on this experience with exotic and diverse often but we are not formatted to think in "races" or in "black and white divide". We do have extreme right and white power crazy folks but in Poland it's not even 10% of the population. Whereas in Germany it has always been 30% and now they even have second largest party in the government, so this shows the difference between Poland and the rest of Western white Europe. Our historical experience is just different.
Interesting perspectives. I think the most people in Poland do not care about your skin colour. We evaluate people by their character and that is the principle. There is always the statistical error of idiots but we are not talking about that. I feel like lady that spend 9 months in Poland just have the cultural gap and write her storyline to regular polish treats. Everyone stares when someone/something is interesting, we always keep space because sitting next to someone while there is plenty of room is anticipated as rude and breaking the comfort zone - intimidating. Your skin color doesn’t matter
Lovely. Thank you
First to comment 😂, I’ve been stalking you on IG to release lol
.I m also a Zim African, in Poland. when they look at me I also don’t take any offense coz I understand that I may be the only one physically closer. It’s tempting to try to see and understand someone different. I don’t take it as racism. I m fully aware that Polska was not involved in colonization ofAfrica, obviously the interaction is limited. I find myself laughing at the curiosity.Poland is a peaceful and wonderful country with wonderful people.
Poles do not pretend to be kind and caring, Poles are kind and caring, but because of the 50 years of communism that we had thanks to Yalta 1945 and the Allies' handing us over to Stalin's dirty hands, and more recently 123 years of partitions of neighboring countries (Russia, Germany, Austria) Poles they need to trust people. And it is born through contact, conversations, getting to know each other with foreigners, and the obstacle here is not knowing the language. It is easy for English speakers to say that Poles do not know languages, when English speakers usually only know English, this is of course not a complaint, but a statement of fact. All foreigners are welcome in Poland, regardless of skin color, religion or social status, the only thing we expect from people from abroad is respect for our culture, customs and that customs that are foreign to us are not imposed on us.
I was once in Paris when a man in his 40s passed out (it was quite hot and he smelled of alcohol), I was the only person who helped him, the rest of the French avoided him. Speaking of the concern of Western people for others, such a situation would never happen in Poland, because people do not pretend to care for their neighbor, but will take care of him if necessary.
PS The Polish nation includes Germans, Tatars, Armenians, Gypsies, Jews, if they live for the common ideal of Poland. A black or red-skinned person can become a true Pole if he accepts the spiritual heritage of the Polish nation, contained in its literature, art, politics, customs, and if he has the steadfast will to contribute to the development of the national existence of Poles. - Wincenty Lutosławski founder of ONR (organization considered to be extreme right, which is obviously manipulation)

@@nowbiodun Yes, I wrote a little, but Poland has a black piarist in the world, and as a patriot, I want to protect the good name of my country. I emphasize that I have conservative views, I am Catholic and I will be very pleased to welcome in Poland a man / woman with a black, white, yellow or red skin color - cordially, even though left-wing media around the world inform that such people are badly received in Poland, it's just manipulation. True, there are maybe some isolated cases, but these are ordinary idiots you can meet in every country. Greetings and once again I invite you to Poland, preferably in the Bieszczady Mountains in the summer, it's very nice, wild nature and delicious food and strong plum liqueur ;)
Bieszczady are like the mountains of Scotland, only forested. I know Zakopane, but for me there are too many people there, while the Bieszczady Mountains in the south of Poland or Masuria (a thousand lakes and forests) in the north are places that you will not find in Western Europe, although the "developer" is already starting to enter there to transform everything into € and $.
Thank you for your answer, greetings again and welcome to Poland
As a person that was born in Poland and lived there when Poland was a communist country in a small town I never seen any other race. When someone would be describing a black guy that meant he had dark hair and eyes never the skin colour. The first time I saw a black person and every other race was when I landed in Canada. So if you have people looking at u it’s probably bc it’s their first time seeing a different race
Thanks for this video @BidCreates
As an English person who moved to Poland with black skin, i've only had good relations with polish people. Sometimes they can be a bit much, but its all jokes at the end of the day ❤
I wish you guys sucess later in life with the studies and job! :DD

I am Polish-American and to get a good job after Master’s degree in USA 🇺🇸 was very difficult.
It is "never" the issue of race but of you. You can be black, green, red, yellow. It does not matter. Culture does. Respect, embrace, integrate and you will be respected, embraced and welcomed. Simple as that.
Polish people are very nice people ..I went to school with some and have some friends ..very down to earth people..
Yes, Polish people if have any common traits are rather down-to-earth, prefer peace not conflict and are rather brutally honest. Staring thing is just honest non-verbal way of signalling : I can see you are not from here. I have taken notice of that. Where a foreigner comes with a Polish person from this stare depends on his or her choice. You can smile and a Polish person may smile back. You can strike a conversation that will be brutally honest. Normal thing in Poland. We shamelessly talk to strangers as if we were old friends. Nothing strange. Polish way of making new friends. Or you may ignore. Each reaction is fine. Polish people like freedom of choice and freedom to be onself. So just.... be yourself. And if you hate when people stare at you, just say it. Please, stop staring at me. Polish people will aceept it as well. We know people are different and react differently to different things. And it's ok.

Over 70% of Poles are against the creation of a multicultural, multiethnic, etc. society in Poland. Of course, everyone is cautious about expressing opinions due to accusations of "racism". However, describing Poland as a country open to multiculturalism and multiethnicity is simply not a true picture.
Thanks for the honesty.

About "taking the trash" or other "small things" in your work life - that's also not about race. When you're a new employee, sometimes they can "use" you a bit, cuz you're a new person there ( it can some kind of test how you prosper with others / it can be cuz they don't have time now to explain some new task, so they give you something to fill up your time / it also can be malicious, but I highly doubt, that is about the skin color. You have to stop viewieng & thinking about Poles & Poland with the media narrative, that is pushed by US media in US. For example I'm 204cm tall, which is quite high. I've also get some stares on the streets, but they're just curious stares.
Nice, thank you
Great job bro

Poles will always stare at you because Poland is a country of white people and for us you are an exotic. And even if we didn't want to, we will still stare at you because you simply stand out, and we Poles are curious, even inquisitive. If we stare, we'll move on and that's it. It's exactly the same as with the whites in the bush. Also all the blacks stared at us, and still we spoke a strange unintelligible language for them, and that's what we had to watch out for because for them every white is a walking ATM, and that's what our black guide told us not to walk away from him.
Could you explain what you mean about whites being a walking ATM? 😂 Where did you experience this?
@@nowbiodun I traveled around Africa once and this phenomenon is everywhere. Absolutely everywhere. Wherever there are white tourists it is a certainty that it will happen to someone.

Hello, I need to say one thing as a Pole i need to say that i stare because i love how ur fits look on u. I just love ur style ur hair and i just like admire people from afar. c:
everyone has different experiences, i really don’t think it’s any Polish person’s place to say wether or not the country is racist because they obviously cannot have the full experience of a non-Polish person. i’ve been here for roughly 2 years and i’ve met the nicest people and at the same time have had multiple people attack me physically and verbally just for being dark skinned.
Poland is racist as a polish person but after living in England English people don’t interrogate me into their culture and friend groups and I am friends with Somalians,Nigerians,Algerians and also Ghanaians and they are great people and even as a white polish person I feel disricminated

I wouldn't say that staring is a form of racism. I myself may be guilty of staring at black people, but it's because I find you guys so much more attractive than us and I just can't take my eyes of you.
So I live in Canada since I was 11. Was a cultural shock for me here. If you are raised right you respect and be kind to people. I'm fully tattooed and when in Poland I get looked at. It's the old generation. Poland is a protective County because of the past. New generation is much friendlier. Everyone that is kind and wants a better life should be respected.

I think it's a very unique situation with black people in Poland. There are few of them here and they're mostly well-educated - doctors, engineers etc. It's confirmed in that video - all of them study. That's why I think most Polish people do not have prejudice against black people, because they are typically above average in terms of intelligence and manners. Where I live we have a black person in our community council even though he might be the only black person living here. So if there's any prejudice, it's rather in the opposite direction.
Lovely comment. Thank you
@@nowbiodun It's true. If we had any people of color in here they were mostly well-educated university ecxchange students. Poland has no gangs or criminal groups with people of color, so there is no ground for any stigma coming from it to form. But instead Poland has lots of engineers and medical doctors who are people of colour. Or celebrities- actors, singers, nowdays people in sports.
@@agatastaniak7459 happy to see the black community contributing positively to the development of Poland.
for this reason, you need selective immigration and closed borders. be selective about who you accept to your home and you will grow with culture exchange building relations that can benefit both sides.
Thanks for doing video and gaining insight into Poland.But no questions about food that would be good to know also.Good to know so many Nigerians travel there.
Thank you. On food, I love Polish food and I have other videos on the channel where I and some friends tried Polish. Generally, I noticed Nigerians would rather stick to the kind of foods they eat back home.
different look always attracts attention. a few years ago i was in turkey, i'm a natural blonde, people were coming on scooters to the bus i was riding, accosting me on the street. I wouldn't go and talk to a black man because he is black, meybe I would if I would see that he needs help, but I would definitely look back because it's natural. especially since some black people have such nice shiny skin.
As an American 🇺🇸 watching this and I speak 🗣️ polish it hurts me seeing people that racist to blq people.
Blacks are 13% of US population and they murder for over 50%
Can you make a video about what it's like to have a permanent victim mindset, like blacks do?
Few people sharing their experiences doesn’t translate to a victim mindset. I love Poland, by the way. It’s been a good experience here for me and I’ve met so many kind people.
