The article examines attitudes towards immigrant entrepreneurs working in the gastronomy sector, which are expressed on Internet forums. In the reconstructed discourses the negative stereotype of an ethnic entrepreneur prevails. Internauts seem to construct two kinds of parallel conflicts: the division between Poles and foreigners and the corresponding division between homely provincial Poland and inhabitants of big cities. The content of Internet forums is characterized by the escalation of radicalized messages and opinions; such individuals are usually marginalized in the dominant media discourse shaped by the elite. The Internet forums contain also posts which are favourable towards immigrants, however they are much more rare. This reveals huge influence of the media context in constructing images and opinions about immigrants.
