No you can tell someone is Polish by looks alone, even if I dress American they still ask where you from. An Austrian man working here in the States stared at me once he knew right away I was European, it shows.
I do recognize Poles in London, by looks, but it's more because of clothes and behaviour, than physical features.

You can tell just by looking at someone that they're Slavic, I've had a Romanian girl once say to me "I know you're Slavic I'm just not sure from which country precisely". Most Americans know I'm foreign just by looking at me. We think differently from westerners , i think we act more on impulse or feeling. And tend to stick together, especially abroad. In the States Poles live with Ukrainians, Czechs, Slovaks and other Slavs too, socialize.
What are there unique in how Slavs look, think and live as a social group?

It's always like that. The Polish characters are portrayed by non-Polish actors, like probably Wysocki in The Chicago Code.

Of course all men in my family are 190cm and taller, pretty well built too. Little scrawny Jew boys are jealous.
True Jews control the media in this country any chance they get to mock Poles they take it because of what we in their imagination did to them during WWII. I've read a few article in the last year or two from Jewish survivors who came out and said that most Poles didn't do anything wrong and tried to help them. It's kind of irritating and demeaning that you have to dance the way they want you to or else.
Polish guys look definitely more sexy and are better build and taller . Those Jewish whom I`ve met were all inconspicuous .

There are some 40 million Irish Americans in this country i work with a few real Irish nationals who just came over like 5 years ago, really nice people, young entrepreneurs starting their own companies want to make it big in America.
And no I won't be an ass about it, but please for the love of god, don't say Patty to any Irish person. I can't explain it but it just sounds awful - Patrick or Paddy. No other variation is tolerated!

In America the brave Patty's (or Plastic Patty's if you wanna be an ass about it lol) take the day off from work and party all day long during the late evening everyone drives around honking their horns celebrating it's actually more felt than 4th of July.
For adults, basically, it's a party day, and that's it. For kids and people who have them it's parades and stuff but with only a very vague national aspect to it. In fact to be honest, in some cases, the curiosity aspect of US marching bands coming over to participate
