Life / "Poles love to bowl" - another Polish stereotype? (& other sports) [44]
I was talking to people at work about Krysia's wedding and showing them the video (which they were very impressed with btw, Mrs. G.). My boss asked what Krysia's husband does for a living and he made a comment that he probably bowls a lot. I was somewhat confused by that....I asked about it, and my boss said it's a stereotype that Poles love to bowl.....I had never heard that, but I was speaking with a friend of mine who's dating a Polish guy and they literally go bowling every week. Has anyone else on here ever heard of such a stereotype and if so, from where did it originate?
