Serious question for those MUCH older that me (born in '73)


Why were 'Polock' jokes a thing when growing up? Why were Polish people deemed to be dumb? Maybe it was a localized thing where I grew up in NC, but I heard 'Polock" jokes from family and friends until the mid 80's...

Never questioned them, and now they are all dead, so can't ask now...anyone else faced this that grew up in the 80s???
