This afternoon, (Sunday, 18 August, 2013) a number of Mexican sailors from the sailing ship ‘Cuauhtemoc’, (which featured in the Tall Ships’ Races Szczecin 2013), were attacked and beaten by football hooligans supporting Ruch Chorzów in Gdynia, Poland.
According to witnesses, the sailors were relaxing on the municipal beach in Gdynia, when they were attacked by a group of hooligans wearing the colours of Ruch Chorzów, who called them ‘Brudasy’ and ‘Czarnuchy’ (dirty ******s). The hooligans from Chorzów were present in Gdynia to watch the cup match against Arka Gdynia.
The sailors were apparently assaulted with objects including bottles, and a number were beaten unconscious, and taken to hospital by ambulance.
(Reported in ‘Gazeta Wyborcza’ and numerous other Polish newspapers and internet sources)
sz-n.com comment: The Mexican sailors were probably the most popular and friendly of all the crews to have attended the final of the Tall Ships’ Races, Szczecin, 2013. It is hard to believe they did anything wrong to provoke this attack.

Embarrasing mess, they attacked them because of their features/skin colour, if this were Norwegian or Swedish marines nothing would have happened at all. It takes 5 or 8 morons like those to shed a bad light on an entire nation.

So true, but I hope not. I actually see a lot of black/asian/indian people in Poland, and polish people are really nice to them.
