Are there any neutral or positive stereotypes of poles?

wow what a random post!?

I think people should be greatful for there life, rather than complaining, if you have to pick yourself up , dust yourself off and start again then so be it.

people are not suicidal, they either kill themselves or not. I am sick of hearing people complain, that is a bad awful thing to happen to you but be thankful that you have the means to still function and be alive. I think it shows you to take nothing for granted and live life to the fullest.

good luck and kind regards! :)

I didnt notice from your profile what country you reside in, please enlighten us.

Perhaps there are some true stereotypes about the mystery land you live in?

In Scotland, the consensus is that they work hard to get valuable exp under their belt. I would even say that it is a stereotype by now, yes.

What about to be a blue collars? are these stereotypes positive negative or neutral?
Judging by characters played in The Wire ( already famous American television drama series) Poles or rather Polish Americans work in docks - menial jobs, Jews are lawyers, blacks are drug dealers or cops, but hey who wrote the script.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wire

Work is as work is in a given country. If Poland places the emphasis on factory-based production, more jobs will go in that direction. They are still seen as hard-working people in most parts of Scotland.

Maybe in the 50's. Nope.. we exist in all realms of American life. Doctors, lawyers.. the whole nine yards. Except for me, I'm the projectionist at a porno theatre.

Which has Swedish roots, Dutch directors and Hungarian actresses :) ;)
