Whenever people say 'The British are lazy', I just reply 'Google, British inventions', 'lazy' people do not build the largest empire the World has ever seen or make massive contributions to arts, sport, media, culture etc.
Likewise, when people talk about Poles in a patronising way, coming out with cliches such as 'They are so hardworking, polite and educated, they shouldn't be working in factories, warehouses, fast food outlets, etc, etc'., has it never occured to people that many Britons with university degrees are working in jobs they are vastly over qualified for' and many Pole in this country are working as doctors, in finance, in senior management and other highly skilled jobs? Not every Pole is cleaning the toilets, still there's nothing like a bit of stereotyping, I often find the most racist and bigotted people are those who make a big issue of trying to convince everyone including themselves how non racist and non bigotted they really are.
