Not Racism...but almost.

So it seems that every country have their personal whipping posts who at every turn they like to mock or make jokes about. For England it's usually France and jokes about their surrendering ways or the Welsh and their sheep related bestiality. Their are of course always going to be playful jokes about other countries but those are some of the main ones.

What about America? I imagine it would be Canada or Mexico but I could be wrong. And what about Canada? Do you have any personal ones? I for instance, regularly mention my distaste for the Dutch. Cheebs and Disease, any Aussie ones? V and Roshiq, what about you guys?

I'd be interested to hear from you all on the matter. Got any jokes or slang names for them?

America is a melting pot, we make fun of everybody even ourselves. Though you'll hear more jokes about Mexicans than Canadians.

We definitely like to joke about those hosers, and Canadians take plenty of potshots at residents of the USA.

Looooot of Mexican racism. Actually, a lot of people I know don't even mean to be racist, but they let loose some pretty offensive slurs.

The French regularly mock Belgians, who are like the French equivalent of Canadians for Americans. They make jokes about their accent, their food, etc...

Funny that, the distaste the English have for the French is quite mutual. I tend to think it's because you're all so alike.

You not liking the Dutch (who share a border with Belgium) only strengthens my theory. :p

I agree, although up here in MI it's a pretty good mix. We're close to Canada and have lots of landscaping companies around. ;)

Canada is it's own joke. No need to heap it on.

There's no need, but it is still fun.

I say anyone and everyone as long as people know you are joking. I am not a racist I think everyone is the same and should be treated that way but jokes about other races and countries are funny as long as it is just jokes
