> anti-Slavic sentiments in Western Europe
As someone frequently moving between "East" and "West" I would generalize it simply as:
"there still is an issue with sentiments"
😉
only "anti-Slavic" sentiments I've seen here in UK is envy/anger because folk from Eastern Europe work hard in either skilled trades, tech and healthcare and often do jobs that others don't want to do because they are "difficult/boring/too nerdy" (in previous years the same happened with migrants and their British born offspring from the Commonwealth countries)
The less you have, the more motivation you have to improve your well-being 🤷♂️ The pattern you describe in regard to Poles in UK is repeated 100% in Poland by immigrants from Ukraine for example. And everyone benefits from that!
