ABSTRACT
The present paper focuses on the presentation of migrant groups in public discourse, which sheds
light on the security-related implications of immigration. In particular, the purpose of the paper
is to analyze public discourse on migration to Poland. Qualitative analysis based on a corpus
of news reports and online comments on migrant groups in Poland shows that the media
coverage of migrant groups focuses on social conflicts and the migrant crisis. Close examination
of online comments reveals that regardless of the tone and topic of the article, users’ comments
posted below the articles are biased, outright and based on repetitive generalisations. Despite
few positive reactions, a great degree of intolerance and discrimination has been manifested in
public discourse and antagonistic feelings between the minority and majority groups have been
identified. Portraying others in a negative way tends to arouse prejudice as well as discriminatory
behaviours; thus, it may be concluded that that negative stereotypes are deeply rooted in Polish
society and are likely to bring about negative expectations towards various ethnic groups.
