View submission: It’s Eastern European discrimination awareness month. Here are some stories of Eastern European’s facing racism/xenophobia, discrimination in the west.

I was born in Poland and have lived in Canada since I was five. I never really experienced any discrimination here besides the kinds of things all immigrant kids have to deal with: getting made fun of for being foreign and learning to speak English. I was shocked during Brexit when I started seeing how much hatred Britons had for Poles. My whole life I've called myself European and really identified with European culture more so than Canadian culture, I never considered that maybe other Europeans would see me as sub human because I was born in eastern Europe.
