Was post-war Poland more homogeneous than current-day Japan or South Korea? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographic_history_of_Poland doesn't tell me numbers, saying only of that era:

> Ukrainians resp. Rusyns, the largest minority group, are scattered in various northern districts. Lesser numbers of Belarusians and Lithuanians live in areas adjoining Belarus and Lithuania. The Jewish community, almost entirely Polonized, has been greatly reduced. In Silesia a significant segment of the population, of mixed Polish and German ancestry, tends to declare itself as Polish or German according to political circumstances. Minorities of Germans remain in Pomerania, Silesia, East Prussia, and Lubus.

> Small populations of Polish Tatars still exist.

That's not 100% ethnically homogeneous, which means in principle there could have been ethnic discrimination.
