Poland's dirty politics
From the London Telegraph...
Writing in his blog, Mr [Ryszard] Czarnecki, an MEP, quoted the foreign minister [Radek Sikorsk] as saying: "Have you heard that Obama may have a Polish connection? His grandfather ate a Polish missionary."...
"Mr Sikorski did not tell a racist joke," said Piotr Paszkowski, the spokesman. "He was only giving an example of the unpalatable and racist 'jokes' that surround President Elect Obama."...
...Wojciech Olejniczak, the leader of Poland's main Left-wing party, the SLD, alleged that he first heard it from Jaroslaw Kaczynski, a Right-wing former prime minister and twin brother of the Polish president, Lech Kaczynski.
Wow, these guys are almost as slimy as the DNC. Tell an outrageously offensive, racist joke, then claim your political opponent actually told the joke. And even if it weren't offensive, the joke's not funny. You'd think with as many Pollack jokes as there are out there, they'd at least know what funny is.

Regardless of the point there is a flaw in your logic: you just don't get Pollack jokes in Poland. They just don't exists. Neither in Europe as such actually for all I know, at least no more then you usually get about nationalities...
