TIL According to Haiti's Constitution, all Haitians, regardless of skin color, are to be considered black in the eyes of the law.

What is this nonsense? Britain housed the Polish government, as well as making Poland the first nation to receive a mass immigration law..

The closest thing to Polish 'hatred', was the EU's asinine Bolkenstein Directive, which coincided with Poland's ascension into the EU. This legislation treats workers like cattle to be traded at will for the benefit of business owners who desired cheaper labour, as the EU does not have a unified monetary policy or centrally planned economy.

This resulted in the Polish Plumber trope, where you could get a Polish worker in for half the price of a Brit, however this has largely been replaced by the other member states who joined like Romania, Bulgaria, Estonia, etc.
