      Keep calm don’t look for trouble and you will be fine. To be fair no one gives a shit where you from as long as you are a decent human being – and if that Asia is in Russia then It is ok too as long as you don’t spew any imperialistic shit – so enjoy your stay (and usually stay away from football stadiums on a match day – can’t vouch for those guys)

      Please improve your Chinczyk restaurant quality to at least German level. And open some all you can eat.

      The Eastern or the Southern Variety? Two radically different groups. A few months ago I met a few of the southern variety, who thought I was French (it’s where I live, but I’m Polish AF) and these guys actually go around telling people “they are from Poland”…in the thickest Indian accent imaginable 🤣🤣

      South Korean, Japan, Vietnam, Phillipines are ok

      Rest can stay home or go to “western Europe”

      Thank you for understanding

      Some east Asian guys opened Chinese restaurant in my powiatowe town in Easter Poland. I love it! I missed it a lot after moving back there.

      Like in many former eastern block countries Vietnamese are the only sizable Asian community (this is for sure the case in Poland, Czechia and east Germany, not sure about other countries). Many Vietnamese came to study in the „brotherly socialist nations” in 70s and 80s. Some of them stayed after the iron curtain fell and became a nucleus of thriving communities in larger cities. I had a few Polish-Vietnamese colleagues in high school in Warsaw in the early 2000s.

      Classic story, parents very busy building their businesses (in case of my friends it was a Vietnamese restaurant mafia) working 24/7. Asian work ethics is not to be laughed about. Whereas kids, well it differs… but let’s just say that my friend from class was notorious for staying home being „sick” and playing quake online whole day. His mom barely spoke any polish so he was selling her a beautiful BS story of academic excellence. He moved back to Vietnam after uni, and built a thriving EU-Vietnam trading business around importing restaurant ingredients to Europe. I visited him back in Ho Chi Minh and he’s also in Europe regularly.

      I like all Asian immigrants tbf. The Vietnamese community is always super nice and some of my favorite restaurants are ran by them and I have an Indian Computer Science teacher (a little stereotypical I know lol) who’s just the nicest person ever. I haven’t rly had many interactions with immigrants of other Asian nationalities but im sure its no different

      I think people in Poland see people as individuals first. If you’re respectful and polite you get treated the same, idk what kind of bait this post is trying to achieve xd

      Since we are talking more than 3.000.000.0000 people and lots of cultures. this is are valid question. Arabs, Georgians, Uzbeks, Indians, Indonesians, Korean, Chinese, Japan?

      Asians, yes. But Asian obviously means East Asian. Just because someone lives on the Asian continent, doesn’t mean they’re Asian

      I think only most radical “PolskaDlaPolaków!!!11” individuals hate Asians in Poland because they in general hate all non-Poles in Poland. Though those very interested in the international politics can be antagonized to Chinese because of China relationship with Russia and in general buying up more and more of the world

      If you plan to live in Poland, be aware that many Poles are very sensitive about showing respect to the country and its citizens, as well as about one’s approach to assimilation when coming from another country. This often plays a bigger role than someone’s origin. Even an Arab or a Ukrainian has a chance of being treated well if they respect Polish customs and traditions, learn the language, and generally try to become part of Polish society. However, if someone simply comes to Poland to recreate a piece of their own country there — or worse, to live off benefits instead of working — then you’ll become a public enemy unless you’re a native Pole.

      I am part Asian. Used to live in Poland. My Asian mother came to visit me multiple times and loved it. I loved living there too and go back every year to visit my inlaws.

      The rule of Asians in Poland applies to humans visiting any other place in the world; don’t be a dick. Respect locals and their customs. Don’t complain that things aren’t like they are back home. You know, common sense stuff.

      If someone has to ask this question when they visit somewhere, likely they have broken one of the points I made above and are generally a douchebag in life.
