But what if this same mechanism is at play today, right here in Poland, shaping how we talk about immigrants? In this deep dive, we explore how narratives about 'the Other' impact lives in Poland, drawing parallels between Said's historical analysis and contemporary discussions. 📕 Get the book here: https://amzn.eu/d/3GEgkJIℹ️ CONNECT WITH US:👉 https://www.instagram.com/kamaljahid👉 https://www.instagram.com/warsaw_confidential🎧 LISTEN TO THE SHOW:🟢 SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/1pmZ4zWzryf5QMSC88sxs2⚪️ APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-kamal-jahid-show/id1684081392ℹ️ DisclaimerThe views and opinions expressed in this episode are those of the individuals involved and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of Warsaw Confidential.

- ABOUT THIS EPISODE:

Poland is often described as one of the most welcoming countries in Europe. But is that true for **all** immigrants?

In this solo episode of *Warsaw Confidential*, I dive deep into my own experiences of living in Poland for over a decade, and the stories I’ve collected from dozens of immigrants on the podcast.

Some are welcomed like family. Others are told to “go back to your country.” The reality is more complex: Ukrainians are embraced as neighbors, while Africans, Middle Easterners, and Asians often face suspicion and stereotypes.

So what does true welcoming look like? And can Poland get there?

This video explores the beauty and the challenges of integration: the kindness, the criticism, the facts about demographics and the economy, and the cultural fears that shape the debate.

ℹ️ ABOUT THIS EPISODE:

When I released the video of immigrants sharing their thoughts on Poland, the response was massive—thousands watched, and hundreds of you commented, many passionately defending Poland. So this time, I wanted to turn the camera around. In this video, you’ll hear from Polish people themselves—entrepreneurs, journalists, artists, and everyday citizens. They speak with honesty about their country: 50% pride and beauty, 50% frustration and criticism. Because the truth about Poland isn’t one-sided—it’s complex, emotional, and deeply human.

Warsaw Confidential is not here to attack or promote—it’s here to spark dialogue, to listen, and to give space for real stories.
