"Some American Jews" tells the truth about the very nature of this type of humour. Holocaust jokes about Jews were very popular not long time ago among some Poles. I never found them funny and expressed my dislike openly making some people's eyes go very big. Using expressions like "verimin" in relation to an ethnic group doesn't have anything to do with PC or satire.

A punk who deserves to get b-tch slapped up the head with some of that hard rye that my grandma used to serve.

I gotta love how these hipster twerps have infested Greenpoint (coming up from Williamsburg) over the past 5-10 years and do nothing but put down the (legal) immigrants and their children who actually work for a living.

"Republican vermin infesting the FR" would be humorous to you? Doubt it.

That being said, this appears to be poorly written satire by a parks department employee, who should stick to pushing pencils for the city. Even this half-Pole isn't so dense as to not notice this. ;-) Nevertheless, my rant still stands.

My dear Jewish friend once caught me off guard and wordlessly stunned as when we were constructing his new home and the installers were fitting out the MBath shower - he said it was "big enough to gas the little Jew" and it broke my heart (or thumping gizzard). When I told him, he laughed it off and apologized if I WAS HURT.

Sometimes, those jokes are more disturbing to the acquainted than to the intended.

More often they spread hatred and contempt towards the indended. Maybe I should send your friend a collection of Polish "gas chamber jokes". What do you think? :)

Is it possible for someone to wear their ethnicity on their sleeve, so they can have a chip on their shoulder?

All I know is that I'm an American who happens to be white, with no idea of what ethnicity I should be carrying a torch for.

We quickly mutually realized that was an area we're best to avoid.

He's half-Pole as I am half-Stick. With all the respect to the Sticks, of course. ;)

Silly man. OK, so it's a joke. I still say to this day that one of the most beautiful women I have ever known was a part Polish woman I dated in high-school/early college.

Amen to that. Plus they age much better than most. Eastern European women blow the rest away.

Big deal. It's a free country. The guy can say whatever he wants and people can say what they want back. Now, if they fire him because of this THAT will be outrageous.

Too many people are just wimpy nowadays. If anything makes them think little unhappy thoughts they get all lathered up. Take my tag line for example, some might think it's politically incorrect while others know it's just simply accurate

Sticks and stones may break .......

Your blood, who you are and where you come from - all those identy constituents are very important. Jews know this - that's why they were able to preserve their culture against all odds throughout thousands of years. Thanks to that they felt distinct and proud of their heritage and influenced much bigger, stronger but less ethnically conscious nations. I must say I admire them for that very much.

"Big deal. It's a free country."

Unless ethnically of people involved in this affair would be the other way around :)

Everyone knows that Jewish horn removal is the largest segment of plastic surgery in the U.S. :)

Pity some of them don't have their Poles-hating tumor removed from their brains as a bonus. ;)

It seems that it's OK to trash people of European background, since the left's agenda is to eliminate Christians and Jews and replace them with third-world savages who chop heads.

I am of Polish descent, and my father told me most of the Polish jokes that I heard growing up. It sounds like a satire to me. More much ado about nothing, imo.

I am also of Polish descent, and all the good jokes circulated the Polish neighborhood. Of course, I am also from Chicago, and we didn't tell Irish jokes; we elected them.
