I think is nor the poem which is racist but the way People reffer it. I heard that this poem wasn’t so bad and Tuwim for sure didn’t want to be well known abroad for being racist. At time of him writing this poem some words doesnt have such bad sounding as today, f.e. “murzynek”. But then, years and years later some mischievous groups of people started to use this poem in a racist way – yelling fragments of this poem at marches etc. Poem is not racist, usage of it can be.
