I was so happy and intrigued by the beauty of these people I saw abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Honestly, it&#8217;s one of the reasons <a href=\"https:\/\/karolinapatryk.com\/about-karolina-patryk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">I started traveling the world<\/a>&#8211; to discover different cultures, meet foreigners, and see something that is different from what I got used to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Polish_%E2%80%9CRacist%E2%80%9D_Songs_and_Words\"><\/span>Polish &#8220;Racist&#8221; Songs and Words<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To start with, let&#8217;s go back to the beginning. I started writing this post when I was 29 years old. It was sitting in the drafts for a long time. I am publishing it at the age of 32. The things I am writing about are true for the majority of Polish society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we were kids, we were taught songs and rhymes that may be considered VERY offensive for people of color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They may be seen as the language of hate, but I think they were written out of curiosity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to understand that we don&#8217;t have a slave history in Poland, most Poles haven&#8217;t even met any people of color before they were adults, so the stories about black or yellow people are something we have only heard on the TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Murzynek Bambo<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most <a href=\"https:\/\/travelpolandtours.com\/what-is-poland-famous-for\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">famous Polish <\/a>poems for kids is about <a aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"yoast-seo-link\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Murzynek_Bambo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Murzynek Bambo<\/a> (Bambo The Black Kid). Here is its literal translation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>On African land lives Bambo and the Browns<br>His <a href=\"https:\/\/travelpolandtours.com\/best-chocolates-from-poland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">chocolate<\/a> face shines even when he frowns.<br>As soon as the Sun appears on the horizon<br>His new book is what he\u2019s keen on.<br>And when he comes back home from school<br>He plays tricks as he thinks it\u2019s quite cool.<br>\u201cCome drink some milk\u201d \u2013 his mummy says.<br>But he climbing the tree prefers.<br>\u201cCome take a bath\u201d \u2013 his mummy replies.<br>But Bambo does not want his skin to turn white<br>But mummy loves her little boy<br>As he is good and full of joy.<br>What a pity that Bambo clever and funny<br>Is not here to make the weather warm and sunny.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it may sound racist, it&#8217;s really not. The intentions of both the author and the parents that have been teaching kids this poem were good. It was to show children that there are people with different skin colors somewhere in the world, and that they are playing, studying, and having fun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am a mother of two beautiful kids right now. I understand that this poem is wrong and I have never read it to my kids. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Makumba<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When I was a kid, a band called Big Cyc (Huge Boob) has written the song &#8220;Makumba&#8221;. It&#8217;s about an African student who came to Poland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Big Cyc - Makumba\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EAexp0w3H3c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It may be considered racist, since the entire song is being sung in a childish way, with the wrong grama, showing that &#8220;Makumba&#8221; cannot learn to speak the Polish language in proper way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the song lyrics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>My father &#8211; Makumba &#8211; be a king of the village<br>I Lives in Africa, arrive to Poland<br>To study in your beautiful country<br>Skinheads don&#8217;t let me live in peace though<br>I Learn your hard language<br>and once got teeth punched out, while walk down the street<br>Polish people racists &#8211; everyone will say that<br>And no one here likes the black man<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I wants to run away, prepare to leave<br>Though meet a girl, that&#8217;s got the beautiful legs<br>I burn with feelings and burn crazily<br>And so Makumba fell in love with Helena<br>We get married quick and got many kids<br>Parents from Africa sends presents<br>I still studying and learn &#8217;til the morning<br>Helena&#8217;s happy about our apartment<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I work a lot and can do many things<br>Polish mother-in-law&#8217;s worried about me<br>She keeps on praying to God:<br>&#8220;Only God, keep Makumba safe<\/em>&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I ends studies and makes career<br>We got a car and bulterrier<br>I lives in here for a long and got no idea<br>Why they don&#8217;t want to accept me to KPN<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Makumba, Makumba, Makumba ska<br>Poland &#8211; Africa, Africa &#8211; Poland<br>Makumba, Makumba, Makumba ska<br>Poland &#8211; Africa, Africa &#8211; Poland<br>Makumba, Makumba, wo le le le<br><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After reading the lyrics you may be assuming that Poles think that all black people are from Africa. It was true when I was a kid! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of the Russian influence, the borders of Poland were closed until 1989, so almost no one traveled. After that, Poles were too poor to go abroad. Things changed in 2004 when Poland joined European Union. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So as you can see, the minds slowly started to open at the same time as the borders. It was only 19 years ago!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When traveling became more accessible, Polish people discovered that there are some countries where people of all colors are living next to each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Poles started to get married to foreigners, thus more of them moved to Poland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Murzyn\"><\/span>Murzyn<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That word is really controversial! Many Poles will use this word to call a black person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;d say this word is considered normal for the majority of people aged 50+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The younger generation understands that the word may be offensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why? Because of the poem I quoted at the beginning of this text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or that we have a saying &#8220;b\u0105d\u017a moim murzynem&#8221; that can be translated as &#8220;be my slave&#8221;. So it&#8217;s really offensive!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am ashamed to admit that I was sometimes using these slang words when I was a youngster. I don&#8217;t do. it anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a really interesting Instagram account called &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/blackispolish\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Black is Polish<\/a>&#8221; where they are explaining what they consider offensive and what not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They think the word &#8220;murzyn&#8221; shouldn&#8217;t be used and I think they are right. You can read more about it in <a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/5874185\/poland-racism-women-murzyn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this article<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, I encourage you to be understanding to older people who use this word. It&#8217;s probably because they don&#8217;t understand it&#8217;s offensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_War_In_Ukraine\"><\/span>The War In Ukraine<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Poland became even more diversified after the war in Ukraine started. Poland was (and still hosting) refugees from Ukraine but also people from other countries that have been living in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my opinion, the last year was a breakthrough. Poles have finally opened themselves to people that look different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am so happy it finally happened! The streets of Poland are getting more colorful. And I am not talking only about skin color but about the traditional clothes from different countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Poland_Safe_To_Travel_For_People_Of_Color\"><\/span>Is Poland Safe To Travel For People Of Color?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>My answer is: <strong>YES<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Poland is safe to travel for people of color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, that doesn&#8217;t mean that you can be irresponsible. Just as in any place in the world, take care of yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch your bags, and don&#8217;t go out with a stranger without telling someone about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In cities such as <a href=\"https:\/\/travelpolandtours.com\/romantic-things-to-do-in-warsaw-couples\">Warsaw<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/travelpolandtours.com\/krakow-tips-for-tourists\">Krakow<\/a>, Poznan, or <a href=\"https:\/\/travelpolandtours.com\/things-to-do-wroclaw\">Wroclaw<\/a>, you will feel the vibe of any other European city. No one will even look at you, you will be just another stranger in the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are traveling to the countryside, you still may catch the curious looks. Please don&#8217;t think they are racist! The people will probably be curious about what you are doing here and WHY you decided to visit this place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many Polish people still struggle with low self-esteem so they probably think there is nothing interesting in the place you are visiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am really sorry about that because I think <a href=\"https:\/\/travelpolandtours.com\/most-beautiful-places-in-poland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Poland is so beautiful<\/a>! And I am so sorry many Poles still don&#8217;t see that they are surrounded by this beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"My_Story\"><\/span>My Story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I mentioned in the beginning of this post, one of the reasons I started traveling the world, was to meet people from different cultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>BTW, I share my stories on my <a href=\"https:\/\/karolinapatryk.com\/about-karolina-patryk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">travel <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/karolinapatryk.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">blog<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I remember when I was traveling the London tube <a href=\"https:\/\/travelpolandtours.com\/tips-for-visiting-poland-for-the-first-time\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">for the first time<\/a>. I was standing right next to the beautiful black woman. I couldn&#8217;t stop looking at her! Her hair was so thick and strong. I imagined myself having her like that. I still remember the color of her skin and her hair. She was so pretty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If she caught my look, would she think I am racist to stare at her? I hope not!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My call at the end of this post is to try to see the good in people. Maybe someone wants to look at you for a little longer or touch you because they think you are beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if it&#8217;s not true, please think about yourself only this way!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the beginning of this post, I&#8217;d like to claim that some sensitive words may be used in the text.
