Unfortunately true, sat with my Polish friend in Poland before in a bar in Warsaw and had him tell me we need to leave cuz he can’t stand the table next to us laughing and talking in Polish wondering what the skin of a black guy in the bar a few tables over feels like…
Nevermind just Eastern Europe though, two years in a row I drove around all of Europe for a month with 2 different friends... first year was with the Polish friend, second year with a elementary school friend who happens to be Chinese… totally different experiences, so many problems, stops for questioning, border issues, denials of service or straight up poor service on the second trip with the Asian friend... sometimes even in the same cities or locations… it got to the point I was just laughing at the ridiculousness of it all.
My favourite one by far had to be me walking my way into the LV store on Champs D'Elysses and having them lavish service on me bringing me carts full of stuff to look at while my friend had to show his passport to prove he's not from China and was limited to 1 item at a time hahaha he was so fucking mad the whole rest of the day after he could barely speak. Rightfully so.
Granted this was 2005... I would hope things have changed/improved... but I'm not super optimistic about that.
