“Stop to sub-humans at Polish universities” or “Harmful agent disseminated against pests, Blacks, Gypsies, Jews, leftists and gays" – such stickers appeared in Lublin at a grocery store. On one of them the term sub-humans related to students from Africa, Asia and the followers of Islam. Some of the stickers also called for violence. One of them presented an image of a man holding a gun in his hand and included the following comment: "When it comes to national issues must be ruthless."
