And 1/4 of black males walking gods green earth have the virus.

Looking at the demographics, Poland might not have any Poles either in three decades.

How do Poles ridicule other nationalities?

What are the common stereotypes held by Poles about other nationalities that are the basis of ethnic jokes and ridicule? For instance:
German order-minded (Ordnung muss sein)
Scots - mean
Russian - primitive, ignorant, backward (Russian women attending balls in nightgowns stolen from Poles after the war; Russian soldaty wearing several wristwatches 'czasy' stolen from Poles)

Czechs - cowards, Jews - crafty, etc., etc.
What about French, Italians, Brits, Americans et al?

Germans: They're normal people but.... there is one moment in their life, it could be the night between Monday and Tuesday or time between bread and tampons during the shopping and in that one exact moment they become Nazis and start to invade us ! Of course I'm joking but my granparents really think that way. In 50's when the road in my grandparent's village was repairing, the workers found two corps of German soldiers under the neighbor's driveway. The neighbor, over 90 years old man came out and said "Don't dig them up! They deserve it!" So Germans are completely untrustworthy.

Frenchs: cowards, cowards, cowards. The're are some jokes about them:
- What "Maginot" means?
- "Welcome!"

-How many Frenchs needs to defend Paris ?
- Nobody knows. Frenchs have never tried.

Czechs: funny language, great writers and movies

Slovakia: we like them more than Czechs and regard them as very nice people so similar to us

Ukraina: though the historical animosities and centuries of killing each other, we find them as very likeable. They have strong personalities and know how to drink :) Poles like to visit ukrainian cities like Lwow, because many Poles have lived there before the war (and we want them back! mwhaahahhaha ! ;) just kidding)

Hungary: We like them A LOT. Perhaps because we are no neighbors... Polak, Wegier dwa bratanki i do bitki i do szklanki!

Italy: all Italian mankinds live with their mothers but they don't admit it and try to be very macho. They can't be treat seriously, their goverment is like a circus with monkeys.

England: we used to see them as gentlemans but... when they started to puke to our fountains, run naked and drink vodka (which is not a good idea for Englishmans) we changed our minds. They are conceived as very, very, very ugly and with their very, very, very ugly women have very,very,very ugly childrens.

Scotland: there's is hardly to tell apart Scottish man from Scottish woman. They both have beards and wearing skirts. The only difference is that Scottish man have some strange feelings to his sheeps...

Ireland: they're all red, like the leperkuns. But we have sympathy to them because of similar history, occupations, ban on using language etc. By the way we don't understand why Irishmans don't speak Irish.

Sweden: they drink a lot and they drink everything with the exeption of asphalt. They all have blond hairs and blue eyes and sing Abba all day long. And they have constant depression.

Gypsies: their women steal little Polish children and sell to Angelina Jolie....

I wanna say everything I wrote are stereotypes. Scottish men doesn't f*ck sheeps, Gypsies don't steal the children. But Frenchs are still cowards :x ;)

I didn't do it, because I think everything was said here. And all this reapiting about how you like to exterminate us and destroying our cities and all this talking about "mother Russia" and "slavic brotherhood" etc. etc, you know I would rubbed my keyboard typing this ********* ;)

My grandmother used to say that during the war there's was white Russians and yellow Russians (with oblique eyes). And those yellow ones were real animals. They destroyed everything with no reason. She ones said about one Russsian, who stoled alarm clock and had it in his bag. And when than clock started to ring, he took the gun and started to shot to the bag. He just didn't know what was the alarm clock....

I love to read Dostojewski and I know that's not true but for my grandma all Russians will always be incredible stupid.

My grandfathers generation called them "Siberians" but everybody knew what was meant...

There's much more fun when you talking about somebody from your neighborhood. In Europe we're all in neighborhood. :)
There're two groups of Americans. Those who live in big cities are ok. Rest of you are Red Necks. They like to hunt bears, Negros and foreing turists. Some of them like to have sex with their own sisters and have a few deformed children together (especially in Iowa). Most of them are Baptist or Mormons with houndreds of wifes.

In generally Unated States as a great educational desert with some few well-read islands like New York or ...ee...or.. you know that would be all. You are completely not interested in another countries when there's no oil pools.

But we regard you as very breave people though during the second war you defended wrong side of Europe....
We don't understand your sense of heroism. Your country (because of neighborhood of harmless Canadian and always drunk by tequila Mexicans) have never been invade. You always had to fight because of

a) somebody blew up your ship
b) somebody blew up your aircraft carrier
c) you went on war because stupidity of your goverment (Vietnam)
d) oil
But after all we love you because of your self confidence which we don't have :)

Like this? :)

I got what you were saying. In the SU everyone went by a Soviet, no matter how wide-opened your eyes were. Being honest the "white" ones hadn't been always educated and well-mannered too.

As for your babushka it's absolutely understandable... the best we can do is to change the poor state of affairs in our generation. ;)
