Its amazing how people are trying to blame the Poles themselves for having the "reputation" as having subhuman intelligence because of the Polish "jokes" that Hollywood and certain left-wing media has pushed over the years especially when Poland was starting to resist the Soviet Union which Hollywood has historic sympathies for.
Polish "jokes" originated from Nazi German propaganda that Poles have subhuman intelligence. Hitler felt the Poles had subhuman intelligence because they were Slavic and hated the Nazi Germans. Hitler then tried to implement this racist stereotype of Poles into reality by killing Poland's educated class first.
Ironically Hollywood introduced these racist Polish "jokes" into America because of Hollywood's hatred of Poland due to Hollywood's left-wing communist sympathies. Poland is a conservative, Catholic , anti-communist country that Hollywood loved to hate especially in the 1970's when they introduced anti-Polish propaganda in their movies and through late-night bigots on TV. Although this anti-Polish hatred still exists it has only declined from the mainstream because Polish Americans have protested this anti-Polish hatred.
