In other news, I haven’t heard a Polock joke since they kicked out the Soviet Union. They earned respect from even chronic jokesters.
Poland hosted most of the world’s Jewish population for hundreds of years. Their reward: Polack jokes. There’s a huge amount of old world bad blood between Poles and Jews. Americans couldn’t begin to understand.

Do you know why Poles got the reputation for being stupid?
After successfully defeating multiple armies over the centuries, Poland was eventually crushed when 3 different countries invaded at the same time, all angling to plunder her resources.
They stripped her bare and left her destitute. She would eventually rebuild.

In fact, they were incredibly brave.
