translation: There are people conjuring thoughts like “I’ve seen one too many brown people”.
Also unsurprising where the sentiment is coming from:

More imbecility (from the same src):
This does not count Ukrainians for Poland though, even for 2022 before war there were much more of them than 2%, possibly as many as 3 million and that went up in years included here.
Yep, that’s true, the latest census was from 2021, and the figure was 3.69%.
Probably the figures weren’t available to Ipsos at the time, despite the publishing date :/? Idk…
That’s different question though on the census, about nationality. Most of minorities in Poland are Polish minorities who were born in Poland. Like Silesians who are not even officially considered minority and still half million of them wrote that in (in reality there’s at probably around a million of them since once the census bureau included them despite government not wanted to admit them at all).
Polish state is also relentlessly engaging in polonisation of minorities since 1918.
