Abstract
This article analyzes racial stereotypes and attitudes in Polish society using African immigrants in Poland as a case study. This research indicates that it is young Africans, students, or refugees who have only recently arrived in Poland, who most frequently complain of racism. Those who are older, with stable legal and job status, speak of these issues in more measured tones, and have a tendency to emphasize the positive aspects of their stay in Poland. Racial stereotypes play an ambivalent role here. They may be destructive for both sides, leading to xenophobic attitudes, but, in evoking interest, they may also encourage greater awareness, and allow the selection of more effective adaptation strategies.
