But seriously, we do get approached by little kids (girls especially) in India every so often who want to know where my wife comes from and want pictures with her - I am not inclined to call that 'racism'.
And if she goes to even to the Taj Mahal or -- especially -- some more remote place in India, your wife would probably get even more requests for photos than you would. Oh, you've already covered that.
I think it was the author/editor of the article which titled it: "A black American in Poland discovers a 'different' racism". I didn't title it such.
That said, you must know a bit about a certain higher-profile African (or is he a Polish citizen now???) soccer play in Poland and some of what he has gone through?
That said, Poland does not have the level of problems Russia does which such matters.
