Stereotypes about Polish

Hi, I am doing a research on the stereotypes about Poland and Polish nation itself.

What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear about this nation? Can you tell me what is the possible source of such thinking?

Sodding hard workers doing a very good days work for a third of the price of a locally sourced worker.

I used to supervise some in a nearby store, I have also worked with some in garages etc.

I've lived in London all my life and my parents are londoners but everyone who first meets me thinks i am polish and won't believe i am English, i've had a few people make stupid comment like 'why's all your lot over here then, no jobs in poland' It's so infuriating. My dads a bookie and i was woking with him and some drunk guy shouted 'look at that pole trying to run her own business'

Hard workers and awesome cooks. I've heard on the grapevine that there's a lot of vintage military stuff, and a huge black market in poland, but i can't say much from experience

My dad's family is polish, my mum's ukrainian. Normally people assume we love vodka, massive portions of stodgy food, are of few words and many actions, a very blunt sense of humour and have the look of a sleazy gangster.

Yeah....

Very religious, somewhat racist, heavy drinking, principled, hard working people who don't put up with any nonsense at all, especially the women. Also the women are hawwwt.

They also have a pretty big chip on their shoulders when it comes to German and Russian people, but thats only to be expected really.
