I told someone this before and I am going to say it again: BLACK PEOPLE ARE EVERYWHERE. They tend to be in what some may believe as the most unexpected places - Poland being one of them.BBC News today said that John Abraham Godson, a Nigerian who emigrated to Poland in the 1990's, caused a media stir with his entry into the Polish Parliament.
Poland is a country with a large white majority (97% is ethnically Polish and about 2% is of non-European decent). BBC also reports that racism is still a problem in Poland, so this is definitely a triumph for a person of color.
Because our world is become smaller (thanks to the Internet), I think it is imperative for all of us to become more culturally relative and more knowledgeable about the other countries on our planet and to be well-read on current global issues. Of course, if money were not an issue, I would strongly suggest travelling (and there are ways as a high school or college student to travel on a budget), but if you wallet can handle going to another place, reading is the next best thing.
