The Evidence
FACT
In mid-2011, a large group of Polish football supporters unfurled a banner proclaiming: "Death to the Hooked-Nosed Ones," illustrated with a picture of a Jew with a large crooked nose, at a stadium in Rzesow. The game was not televised. There were no players of Jewish origin on the pitch at the time. And, given that Poland's Jewish population is vanishingly small, it is not particularly likely there were even any Jews in the stadium at all.
Which doesn't make it any better, obviously, but it does, in fact, make the Poles in question seem even more unnecessarily pathetic.
Verdict
In a country which is 98 percent ethnically Polish, Poles have had to resort to being racist against people who don't exist. They probably maintain a sort of internal fantasy football league of race-hate, acting out this pitiful shadow-boxing in the absence of genuine targets. It is likely that, when no one else is around, Polish neo-Nazis force each other to dress up as Arabs in crude tea-towel and bath-sheet costumes, then beat each other with sticks just for the release.
Travel Advice
In terms of race-hate, wet-behind-the-ears Poles have never even taken off the training-wheels. Safe for travel, so long as you are not an Invisible Imaginary Jew.

As a Polish person, I have to admit, that the picture is typical for fans of football. That is how it usually works. I have seen many times on TV how they behave during the games, even though... their targets were white and Polish. I cannot imagine the rage against foreigners! With different skin colour, clothing, religion!
Homogenous country is not always a safe country. Let's stay aware of diversity and equality!
