<\/a><\/p>\nFirst of all, Polish people are thought to be a lazy nation ( I obviously do not agree – I think we are really hardworking – with exceptions of course)<\/p>\n
Secondly others say that Poles are unfair.<\/p>\n
Polish people are very religious \u2013 Catholics.<\/p>\n
Lots of people use to say that: \u201cPole can do everything well if he only wants to\u201d. Polish people are handy and skilful then.<\/p>\n
Poles are sociable and love parties.<\/p>\n
Poles are taken as brave (love freedom), patriotic and nationalistic.<\/p>\n
Poland is a home of Solidarity which had a great share in subverting the communistic system.<\/p>\n
Poland is believed to be a poor country (not exactly true though…)<\/p>\n
The most famous stereotype, which unfortunately became a kind of pervert is \u201cto drink (alcohol) like Pole\u201d.<\/p>\n
According to this: Polish farmers are believed to work very hard on their farms and because of cold climate they have to drink vodka to get warmer.<\/p>\n
Polish people speak difficult language.<\/p>\n
Another feature is bribery and corruption.<\/p>\n
Europeans consider Polish kitchen to be unique and healthy.<\/p>\n
The nicest stereotype concerns kissing when they greet people. Poles are hospitable.<\/p>\n

People in the whole world think that Poles are prejudiced about Jews and black people. Also in Poland there are hooligans who attacking foreigners.<\/p>\n
Poles are said to be thieves. Especially in the area of theft cars. There is even a joke: If your car was stolen, you should go to Poland. It surely would be there.<\/p>\n
Polish jokes are quite popular.<\/p>\n
Polish people are truthly attached to their traditions.<\/p>\n
All in all, there are many stereotypes about Polish people but we should take it with a pinch of salt.<\/p>\n
However, we also have to remember that there is an element of truth in every saying.<\/p>\n
So what is true?<\/p>\n
Polish people are very patriotic \u2013 they love their country and they have unbelievable sense of pride. We can see it on the 2nd World War example.<\/p>\n
Ninety-five percent of Poles describe themselves as religious people. Poland is a Catholic country and Pope \u2013 John Paul the 2nd who is believed to be a great authority comes from Poland.<\/p>\n
That is true that Polish people are handy and skilful. They are good builders, mechanics; they are good with their hands.<\/p>\n
Poles are sociable and they just love to party. And it is true that Polish people are drinking Vodka or even \u201cSpirit\u201d (95%) from time to time \u2013 especially on parties. They like to celebrate everything with alcohol.<\/p>\n
Anywhere you will go, anybody you will talk to will tell that Poles are hospitable, always take care about their guests, they are nice and kind. They like to say: \u201dGuest at home \u2013 God at home\u201d.<\/p>\n
Polish people remember about their traditions.<\/p>\n
Poland is rich in traditions. They organize a lot of festivals and holidays. Poles love good food, they like to play, sing and dance.<\/p>\n
The reason for holiday can be for example: the opening of the tourist season in mountains \u2013 holiday of the Queen of Dunajec<\/p>\n
The most attached to traditions are Polish country people. Every region has its own traditions \u2013 for the special occasions people were the colourful folk clothes. The most famous are Kaszub\u2019s and Mountain\u2019s people.<\/p>\n
Poles were building their traditions for over 1500 years.<\/p>\n
Polish people speak difficult language.<\/p>\n
About Polish food.<\/p>\n
Of course Poland like every country has its own traditions. Poles have quite different times of meals. Breakfast at 7-8 o\u2019clock. They don\u2019t have lunch \u2013 just a snack and about 2 o\u2019clock usually they eat the main meal of a day \u2013 dinner. It usually consists of 2 dishes: first course \u2013 the soup and the main course. The supper is about 7 o\u2019clock.<\/p>\n
Quite a common dish in the morning is cornflakes with milk, different type of sandwiches and toasts, cold cuts and cheeses.<\/p>\n
About the main courses: well known in Europe is Hunter\u2019s Bigos and Schabowy \u2013 cutlet with tomatoes and vegetables.<\/p>\n
They say in Poland: the way to a human is by the stomach.<\/p>\n
Polish food has good reputation with foreign visitors.<\/p>\n
What aspects aren\u2019t true?<\/p>\n
Most of the stereotypes about Poles are untrue and very wrongful.<\/p>\n
Foreigners say that Polish people are poor. It\u2019s false. They are not very rich nation but they aren\u2019t poor. If you go there you will notice that Polish People have new and expensive cars such as: BMW, Mercedes, Audi\u2026and others. They have modern houses. Even some of the Germans says that in Poland people have a better standard at home than in some European Union countries.<\/p>\n
What is true \u2013 that is quite difficult to find good and a well-paid job even if somebody is well-educated.<\/p>\n
Another thing is: Polish people are not thieves!!! Due to a few thieves behaviour we can\u2019t say it about all nation!!!<\/p>\n
It must be said that Poles are tolerant toward immigrants with different backgrounds.
\nPoland is a very open country!<\/p>\n
As for\u00a0bribery and corruption…unfortunately true, although it is getting better in recent years!<\/p>\n
