    I love this. Haven’t seen a good Polish joke in years and years. In the old days it was like, “Wanna hear a Polish joke?” “Careful, I’m Polish.” “That’s okay, I’ll tell it slow.”

      During my childhood, in Germany, during the ninetees and early 2000s, it was manly making fun of the Polish for beeing thiefs or beeing overrun in WWII.

      Insanely racist time, looking back now, but it was just completly normalised.

        That’s just living in Europe in general though. Everyone makes fun of everyone. Dutch and Belgians and Germans have jokes about each other since we share borders. There’s also stereotypes about the Spanish and Greeks being lazy, the French being rude, that sort of thing.

          Why is there a gutter on both sides of the pavement in Fresia? So they can get walk without scraping their knuckles so bad. Why are Fresian’s arms so long? So they can feel the tits on a cow when they’re snogging them!
