Because their racist, and racism has no logic behind it. But what you often find is that when a minority group is particularly successful (as the Jews have been for large parts of history) in relation to the pre-existing population, that almost breeds more resentment. The Chinese get it throughout Asia, because there are lots of countries where they are a minority that's more prosperous than the majority. That's what Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing was about, where the black community are angry that every business in the neighbourhood is run by an Italian or a Korean, or whatever, and none of the local people run successful businesses. Let's face it, nothing rubs your own failures in you face better than someone who barely speaks English coming with little money and through hard work building a successful business. And it didn't exactly help that the (well deserved) positive stereotypes of Polish workers were often accompanied by a slagging off of British workers.Can someone explain to a foreigner why British people dislike Poles? Never heard of them doing anything to anyone. Almost like Jews, disliked for no apparent reason.
