People have to be highly insecure if they can't take a joke, and then be witty enough to follow it up with a joke of their own.What liberals ? We don't have many of those left anymore; we've got plenty of authoritarian, collectivist hypocrites though.Liberals tend to be idiots.
You're asking the wrong person, I've never been able to figure out the whole counter factual, logically devoid calculus that the dingbats use to determine whether or not a certain group of people deserve protected victim status....Poles were victimized by Nazi Germany too.
As well as by Soviets.
Far worse victimization than say Mexicans received in the 20th century.
So, why are Latinos a protected clasd?
Personally I don't think anybody deserves any special status, period.
I don't support victim classes & hate speech.
Even so the dumb Polak joke is a slander of Poles.
So, how well received would dumb Negro jokes be in the USA?
The Polish American IQ is among the highest recorded IQs of American ethnics.
Of course its slander.
That stereotype is decades old. Many of the Polish immigrants were not highly educated when they came to this country, so they appeared to be stupid. However it was true with just about any ethnicity of immigrants at the time. Or as Archie Bunker once said "They only created Polack jokes to take the heat off the Dago's."
It does remind me of a true story though. My late friend was a first generation American. His father brought them over from Poland in the 50's, and he was quite a character. He was driving home drunk and a cop spotted him, and followed him home. After he parked his car on the street, the cop tested him, arrested him for DUI, and had the car towed.
When he went to court, he told the judge "I know, I do wrong, I drink and drive. But they tow my car. My car was not drinking, I was!"
The judge bust out laughing, and got such a kick out of the old man he gave him a slap on the hand. All he had to do is some community service work cleaning up city hall and the police station for a period of time.![]()
A lot of Poles & Italians are pretty well off around these parts.
Despite facing the brunt of media & Hollywood discrimination.
They tend to be in slightly better shape than Irish Catholics & Germans.
Most of the White Trash in Dutchess county, NY are Protestant English, Scots, Irish Protestants, Dutch.
But also some French Catholics too.
Basically the colonial populations are behind.
