Stereotypes make the world go flat!
I love stereotypes! Granted, it ruffles quite a few feathers and often for good reason. The Italians want you to know that they're more than just a bowl of pasta; the Dutch insist that they don't walk around in clogs holding tulips to their face; and the Canadians well, would appreciate it if you stopped calling them American.
We expend much time and energy on how stereotypes offend. However, it's time for a new kind of PR for stereotypes.
So I proclaim the following: STEREOTYPES BOND US TOGETHER
Really.
So listen up...
One day, Paddy Irishman, Paddy Englishman, and Paddy Scotsman walked into a pub together. They proceeded to each buy a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints and got stuck in the thick head.
Paddy Englishman pushed his beer away from him in disgust.
Paddy Scotsman fished the offending fly out of his beer and continued drinking it as if nothing had happened.
The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink, held it out over the beer and then started yelling: "AH YOU LITTLE THIEF! SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT!"
...haven't you ever laughed at paddy jokes or your own version of "racist" jokes? In fact, there is a paddy out there laughing the loudest at this joke.
Even the cute furry muppets agree that everyone is a little bit racist!
Humor often comes at someone's expense.
This my dear reader, is the price for us to all get along!
