That's probably the case why Poland is so clean and safe unlike most of the Western countries that are already struggling with African and Middle-eastern migrants which can't fit in to European standards. Poland instead takes in migrants from other adjacent countries culturally proximal to them or even got massive Vietnamese diaspora there that blended in perfectly in Polish culture. Poles aren't racist they put their safety first seeing what an open-gate policy caused in countries like Sweden, France or UK
Why shd there be?
Why are there not many white people in China?
Why are there not many Filipino's in India?
Why are there not many South Americans in Australia?
This is Poland, not Congo. If you want black attraction, go to France or Germany.
For the same reason why there aren't that many white people in Africa.
Because it is a European country!👈
Polish people are white. Just like Finns, Estonians, Latvians, Russians, Ukrainians, Hungarians…. and so on.
Marxist female "journalist" asking stupid questions..
Sounds like a good country to live in.
They were chased, out bred out, wiped out, ever since the mid 1700s. They were already there n Indigenous as Hebrews until caucasian coups and overthrowings all about Eurasia kicked Africans out of Poland let alone Europe into African diaspora.
"And since detachments of English from Britain sent to America, will have their places at home so soon supplied and increase so largely here; why should the Palatine Moors be suffered to swarm into our settlements, and by herding together establish their languages and manners to the exclusion of ours? Why should Pennsylvania, founded by the English, become a colony of Aliens, who will shortly be so numerous as to Germanize us instead of our Anglifying them, and will never adopt our language or customs, any more than they can acquire our complexion?
Which leads me to add one remark: That the number of purely white people in the world is proportionably very small. All Africa is black or tawny. Asia chiefly tawny. America (ex- clusive of the new comers) wholly so. And in Europe, the Span- iards, Italians, French, Russians and Swedes are generally of what we call a swarthy complexion; as are the Germans also, the Sazons only excepted, who with the English make the principal body of white people on the face of the earth. I could wish their numbers were increased."
From Ben Franklin, in the 1750s
I think the main reason is the economic one as you said. That's why you don't see too many black people in Romania, Ukraine, Bulgaria, etc. There's no reason to go to a country where the economic opportunity is not as good as another one.
What a great country .im irish and ireland is fucked.full of imagrants illigal of course and we do not want them any any cost .
Some countries understand that letting certain groups of people into the country is a Trojan horse that leads to chaos, the dissolution of social harmony, higher violent crime rates, higher levels of filth and litter, and increased sexual violence against native women and girls. Some people, like Kojo here, love to be willfully ignorant with respect to this matter for sanctimonious purposes. Lucky (as far as I can tell from the comments) most viewers are able to see through her veil of BS. Don't fall for the propaganda folks, Poland is just fine the way she is. God bless your country and god bless Europe.
The more Africans want to live in Poland❤
great, let's keep it that way
I pray PL will not become another Sweden, France, UK… no to immigrants from Middle East and Africa!
If Africa wasn't colonized imagine how archaic they would be
What is the point of this video? What a ridiculous question to cover. Well you're at it how bout why so few blacks in Japan or why so few whites in Iraq… also the black men didn't experience racism at the polish and Ukraine border. They were just told to get back and to stop trying to get on trains when everyone was told women and children would be evacuated first and the men had to fight weather they wanted to or not. All the white men stayed and defended the country but once again the black men that abandoned their women and children because they didn't want to fight for their homeland and instead chose to hide behind other men in their country also don't want to fight for the place that took them in and provided them a better life.
Not even black people want to live with other black people.
Why are there no blacks in Poland? Because Poland has nothing to do with Africa? It never had a colony? Poland did not have a fleet to conquer a colony. And most importantly, when the colony was conquered in the 17th century, Poland or then the Republic (commonwealth) was on the verge of collapse and then disappeared from the map. After 1945, Poland came under Soviet occupation, where different customs prevailed. After 1989, Poland had a so-called population boom, so it had enough workers and did not need immigrants to work, and nawe itself in the 1990s was in crisis. Blacks in Europe took in mainly because Europe was aging, whites were not having children so it was invented that blacks should be the ones to ensure replacement of generations. As we all know, it didn't work out in the West.
I remember the Women and Children being evacuated from Ukraine by train……………….. African Men were at the front of the queue…………..
Why are there so few black people? Why are there so many? It should be zero.
Why so few black people in Poland perhaps the same reason as why there is so many Polish in the UK money.
Poland does not need black people, Europe does not need immigration. Germany spends almost as much on migrants as their military, immigrants does not benefit the country, economy or communities. In fact studies point out that it only brings diversity in food and culture, but at cost of less trust in what used to be high trust societies. It also has a negative impact on the economy, housing prices etc.

Honestly, who cares? If you want to see blacks go to Ruanda. BTW, Where are the Samoans in Congo?or, Where are the native americans in Somalia? We can keep making stupid questions that will lead us nowhere. I don't see the point every country on Earth has to have a black population.
