Yes.
My point wasn't that it's not a problem in the long term, but that in some countries it's also a problem in the short term.
In Poland I really felt unwelcomed on many occasions. The fact that they're extremely nationalistic doesn't help, I guess. I was surprised that even 18-year-olds wouldn't speak English to me. I'm now learning Polish.
