It was interesting, as a non-European, to see the explosion of anti-Eastern European racism that happened in the UK in the lead-up to and after the Brexit vote.

There were a bunch of anti-Polish posters and incidents of harassment and violence that occurred about the time period. Being anti-Polish in particular, at least for somewhere like the UK, seems so bizarre to me.
