I see what you are trying to say, but I think you are taking it a little to
seriously.  This is, after all, just a joke.  I'm PA Dutch and I don't get
upset in the slightest when someone makes a Dumb Dutchman joke.  And I've never
seen a lawyer get up set about all those nasty jokes about them.  (Yes, I know
a few lawyers.)  My boss is Polish and /he/ makes the Pollock jokes half the
time!

Besides, if we can't poke fun at ourselves then who can we poke fun at?  This
seems to me as very obvious humor, and not anything close to a press release or
study or something that would have any /real/ impact.

Besides, it's our actions in the real world that make the difference, not some
silly humor animation.
