Poland has extremely low unemployment, there legitimately isn't enough people to work at all the factories etc that western european companies built here. This is the reason why countries like Poland or Romania were let into the EU - cheap labour. They exploit it until it gets so expensive here that they'll have to move onto the next countries and accept Albania, Serbia etc. They also can't work below minimum wage here.

There's one african that works as a waiter at this Korean restaurant near me, and has been working there for at least a year. He even learned some rudamentary Polish. I don't like eating there because I get sick every time (not due to food being unfresh, I think I don't tolerate some ingredient they use because everyone else in my family is fine) and because I don't like the idea of an african touching my food, but if there's no realistic way we can get rid of him then at least he's working instead of leeching off the system.

Speaking of Koreans, we have a shit ton of Koreans here too. They keep to themselves and don't really integrate, almost operating in a parallel society with their own stores, restaurants etc (and of course have no problem serving Poles that go to those places). Very respectful every time i've ever encountered them - can't really say anything bad about them.

I think alot of it has to do with who they were in africa. Logically speaking, if you take some major african city there has to be people working there. There has to be businesses, there have to be schools, so there has to be some resemblance of a functional society. Then you've got rural ones in places with high unemployment, or ones from the city that simply didn't work there either and were promised gibs in Europe and they believed it.

My kid goes to an English school, and there's teachers imported from all over, including black south africans. I met one of the teachers as my kid had a couple of classes with her - she could form coherant sentences and it was almost like speaking to a human. Uncanny.

So really, we have them here but right now for the most part they seem to be employed and aren't causing many issues. I haven't heard of them harassing women, etc. We do have alot of the "transit" ones that are coming through Poland to get to Germany, though.
