Prague - conversations over beers, or how to talk to a Czech person? (Mid July outreach report)

At what point can we say this about any society? Can anyone confirm? is there something in the climate nowadays that makes life harder as a foreigner? The expats bubbles report bits of the same - @MariaAlinaAsavei’s friend story is one where she would like to get more social, as a foreigner in Prague. Some facebook women group I follow has people who are taking a stance of foreigner against ‘Czech ways’. Not to mention what some expats say -like in this article:
‘Did you experience discrimination in Prague? I don’t know if I’d call it discrimination but definite unfriendliness. The Czechs are not known for their warmth, and it’s sadly very evident just how cool they are once you start living there.’

Do these small hints mean we should downplay the international part of POPREBEL and focus only on local community building, local problems, local meetups, and especially: local festival?
Thanks for any hints, everyone!
