Polonia / The Netherlands: run-down districts happy with Polish immigrants [59]
Trying would be the word here. I'll give you something to think about: My age group makes up only 3% to 4% of our population. (Indigenous population.) We have an unemployment rate of 5 to 7%. (I think you can do the math?) Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Polish people. I just think our government should be honest about a few things. (Like explotation and cheap labour.)
;)
They don't actually improve our neighbourhoods either, because this article completely fails to mention that most Polish people stay in Bungalow parks, and that most Polish people are only working here on a temporary basis, and that only the highly educated ones are trying to settle down here, because most of the working-class Polish people will find out that there's not much of a future for them here either. What this article also fails to mention, is that a lot of Dutch people aren't too happy about being a neighbour to ten or more Polish people in one house. (Oh, and isn't it funny how Dutch people aren't allowed to live with ten or more people in one house to share the rent, but temporary foreign workers all of a sudden, are??) No, there's definitely a not-so bright side to this whole story, but let me just tell you that you're still the misinformed Belgian racist that you were before. You're grossly overexaggarating a few things, of course conveniently, all in favour of ''white'' people.
But if the only offense that Polish people commit is drinking, then how do you explain the murders in my region? (We've had a few shootings and stabbings here, and the offenders were Polish, not Moroccan, sorry.)
;)
Because they are trying to find a job in more populated areas.

you would understand why 10.000 Polish immigrants tend to improve a neighbourhood whereas mentioned groups tend to make things worse even if their numbers are much lower.
