Everyone seems to be in such a hurry to scream 'racism' these days...
So, when the customer asked, "In what aisle could I find the Polish sausage?" The clerk looks at him and says, "Are you Polish?" The guy (clearly offended) says, "Well, yes I am. But let me ask you something. If I had asked for Italian sausage, would you ask me if I was Italian? Or if I had asked for German Bratwurst, would you ask me if I was German? Or if I asked for a kosher hot dog would you ask me if I was Jewish? Or if I had asked for a Taco, would you ask if I was Mexican?' If I asked for some Irish whiskey, would you ask if I was Irish?" The clerk says, "Well, no, I probably wouldn't!" With deep self-righteous indignation, the guy says, "Well then, why did you ask me if I'm Polish because I asked for Polish sausage?" The clerk replied, "Because you're in Home Depot." |

I've never understood the ethnic slur jokes about Poles. Considering how many famous and really accomplished Poles there are in history, it's just beyond my comprehension why Poles have been singled out for this sort of derision. Consider Maria Skłodowska, Frédéric Chopin, Ignacy Jan Paderewski, Czeslaw Milosz, Artur Rubinstein, Nicolaus Copernicus, and thousands more. It's a puzzlement. |

You neglected to mention Killer Kowalski, and Carl Yastrzemski, and Edith Bunker. -- Harold |

Their daughter character, Gloria, married a fellow woth a Polish-sounding last name. Your knowledge base is pretty small. Oh...and you and several others here are modern Archie Bunkers... |

I think many groups encounter this type of derision... the Irish, certainly did. |
