BookOwl you are 100% correct.
We keep on hearing from our media how diversity is a good thing. Well aren't Polish Americans part of all the diverse ethnic groups in America? Shouldn't we be recognized for the good we have contributed to this great country and not ridiculed or dismissed just because there were some bigots in the media who were prejudiced against Polish people who were trying to condition the American public to have their anti-Polish prejudice with their Anti-Polish propaganda?
It was Hollywood's and the TV networks' shame to try to condition the American public from 1965 through the 70's with subhuman intelligence jokes about Polish people. It still continued after that..... but to a lesser degree.... only because Polish Americans finally had enough of being a "good sport" about being an ethnic punching bag and finally spoke out against all these anti-Polish slurs.
Although sadly subhuman intelligence jokes about Polish people still do exist, at least they are not in the mainstream media like they used to be. Maybe once in a while you might hear them and you basically won't hear them in polite society. This is why the anti-Polish Bigot former Senator Arlen Spector apologized when he made some anti-Polish jokes in New York City a couple years ago. Even Non-Polish people were offended at his so called jokes about Polish people. Some people say Arlen Specter lossed more then a normal amount to his unknown challenger earlier this year because of his racist so called Polish "jokes". There is a large Polish American population in his state of Pennsylvania who didn't forget his dumb inferior intelligence "jokes" against Polish people.
But it is good he apologized for his hate-through-humor jokes against Polish people. I give him credit for that.
