From what I’ve read in many recent British media accounts, British xenophobes and bigots are often somewhat colorblind in their hatemongering. While blacks and “Asians” are the typical/usual targets, apparently there is an enormous reservoir of venom reserved for Eastern Europeans as well: Poles in particular.
Not sure precisely why: it seems to be more an issue of economic competition (I think large numbers of Poles have come to the UK seeking jobs) than simple “racism”; though the results are often the same.
