  • in reply to: Why so many Polish jokes? #28132

    I suppose Poles got the reputation of being ignorant because of language problems. A person who can’t speak the same language as other people often behaves involuntarily stupidly. Poles were one the immigrant groups which started to arrive in USA relatively late and other people had already learned the language. Besides It is probably harder for Poles than many other nationalities to learn English as the language is pretty different from English when it comes to vocabulary and grammar. My theory is supported by the fact that Polish jokes are pretty much an American phenomena and at least I haven’t noticed that Poles would be dumber than any other nationalities.

    in reply to: Clean, militaristic Germans #29761

    I have spent only two months in Germany so I not any great specialist on Germans. In any case I don’t think that Germans are obsessed with neatness and cleanliness. But they often seem to like good order. When it comes to militarism I think that most Germans are very far from being militaristic I guess that sort of behaviour is politically pretty incorrect Germany due the country’s recent history.
