Ok... I was thinking about it, and I have 2 very negative stereotypes going for me, haha. I'm blonde and I'm Polish (but do 2 negatives make a positive?)! Those are the two things that have the most jokes about being dumb people. I kinda understand the blonde thing, cause I guess there have been a lot of ditzy blondes... but why did the Polish thing start? Poland is my favorite foreign country, I love it there! Out of all the countries I'm from (Norway, Poland, Germany, Czech Republic and England) I'm most proud of my Polish blood...
I'm not against these stereotypes (the jokes are funny) really, just curious! haha. :)

lol...this is the joke at my auntys pool party every year...my uncle makes jokes about polish people being slow. I don't really know how it came about though....
and blonde jokes are stupid. I don't find them funny. You can be a brunette and be just as stupid. Sometimes more so brunettes being stupid...I have found with people. It's because blondes are cuter.. :wink:

yeah... my family does the polish joke thing too, haha. mostly around my grandpa, who's 100% polish, but he doesnt care, haha.
and yeah, i agree, people who have blonde, brunette, red, black, white, pink... etc hair all have their equal share of stupid people. but blonde jokes are funny, haha.

I'm proof of that.
It's because blondes are cuter.. :wink:
But brunettes are hotter :wink:
I know nothing about Polish jokes... :roll:

Heh, when I had blue hair people used to make lots of jokes about that...
Anyways, yeah, I am Polish too, and people joke around. I dunno why though.

But that's understandable :wink:

i'm half polish.

lol
other than that, i don't know where they came from.

Hey now . . . I don't want you complaining about your stereotypical stupidity. I'm a Nazi! (According to most un-Germans, which is really gay because most people around here have a lot of German blood in them, and when we meet people who DON'T it's like 8O) But then I'd guess I'm also Polish-ly unintelligent, and indefinitely ditzy.
-
Yay Emily and Sam! We're cool, haha :)
CeCe... I wasn't complaining, haha. I said I thought they were funny. I don't mind them at all! Just curious about where it all started. And yeah, I'm German too... it's strange how almost everybody I meet is! (Oh... i'm going to make a poll)

Hellooooooo 1939. When the USSR and Germany cut Poland in half and agreed to share. Even though Poland considered itself an indepdant nation and were going to defend themselves.
The polish were routed spectacularly. The stories say they tried to fight german tanks on horseback.
Not to mention they were invaded in WWI by the germans (though poland was not an independant nation then)
In 1955 Poland sided with the USSR against NATO. Oops. THAT'S backing the right horse. :roll:
In 1980 the only reason the Russians didn't take Poland AGAIN was because Reagan threatened war.
Poland working WITH the Germans to take half of then czechoslavakia before WW2.
See, I want to start throwing out the history of that REGION and how many times the region that is currently Poland has been invaded and destoryed...
such as 1655 by the swedes and again in 1700. 1226 by the mongols. The 1684 Cossack rebellion. Prussia stealing half of Poland in 1772 then divying up the rest in 1795, etc.
But those are non-modern era, so I don't know if that kind of history is fair game.
In other words, Poland is the whipping boy of every aspiring dictator in european history. Invading Poland kind of the hip thing to do to anounce your aspirations of world domination.
It's like a 16 year old having a sweet-16 party to kind of anounce to world "hey! I'm here!"

The invaders took all their stories? Strange, I would have thought they'd have just destroyed Poland instead. Polish history really is interesting.
:twisted:
Sorry. Couldn't stop myself.

thanks for the history Andrew!
ok, some of those things WERE stupid, but yeah... it was a long time ago, and they're not that bad anymore.

I have no idea. I don't know any Cure songs. And I'm happy to keep it that way.

Yeah, because as every American knows, every British person knows every other British person personally ;-)
In fact, I can't even go to the supermarket on this tiny island without bumping into Robert Smith.
Edit: I have been asked more than once "Do you know person X from place Y"? Just because person X lives in the UK too. :? 60 million people is still a lot! *not bitter at all*

Yeah I had a Nintendo. I never used to play Tetris though. I hate games like that. The only time I used to play it was linked 2 player with my brother's gameboy. Then it's pretty cool.
I'll see if I can dig out my old gameboy and have listen.
