Life / What don't you like about Poland or Polish People? [117]

I think the matter of folks in Poland thinking those who go to the US as instantly rich goes back many years. My grandfather came to the US in early 1900s. He saved letters from his family who remained in Poland who assumed he had a lot of cash and was constantly writing him to ask for him to send money back to them. These letters date from the early 1900s through the 1920s.

One thing I don't really have an opinion about, but certainly an observation is complaining. I am of Polish ancestry in the US. I know many folks in the US of Polish ancestry. I also know a fair number of folks who immigrated here from Poland. Their dates of immigration have been from the 1980s through the 2000s. They all, we all, seemingly love to complain about anything & everything. This seems to be one unifying factor of Polish people that I've observed.
