...came from Hitler? Why did Hollywood and leftwing TV introduce in the 1970's, the Nazi stereotype of Poles having Subhuman intelligence, when Hollywood supposedly doesn't like Nazis?
Because the one thing Hollywood and the Left-Wing "American" TV media like about Hitler and the Nazis is their subhuman intelligence propaganda about Polish people.
Origin of Polish “jokes” came from Nazi German propaganda that was then pushed by Soviet communist sympathizers in Hollywood.The racist stereotype that Poles are intellectually inferior or have subhuman intelligence came from Nazi German propaganda and Soviet propaganda.
For example, the MYTH that Polish horses were used to attack German tanks in WWII was total Nazi German propaganda that the Nazi Germans repeated over and over until it took a life of its own using the BIG LIE technique.
The Soviet Communists saw the value of this myth and the racist notion that Polish people have subhuman intelligence, so they had their Left-Wing sympathizers in Hollywood push it using Anti-Polish Television and Movie imagery to the American people.
The image of Polish people having subhuman intelligence was useful to the Soviet Communists, since then, people would not mind too much if Poland is occupied by the Soviet Union if Poles are portrayed as having a Slavic culture that is inferior and less then human.
Nazi German hatred of Polish people:
As for the German Nazis (and even the Soviets) they then killed off the educated class of Poland first to make their racist stereotype of Poles a reality.
Polish “jokes” were in Hitler’s two speeches after he invaded Poland.
Hitler ridiculed Poles in his Sept. 19, 1939 speech in Danzig (today called Gdansk) and in his Berlin speech in Oct. 6, 1939 with these hate-through-humor anti-Polish “jokes” and references.
Ironically, Left-wing Hollywood and the TV Networks (like NBC-TV) pushed these racist Polish “jokes” even though they claimed to hate Nazis. Hollywood and NBC-TV evidently hate Nazi propaganda but not when its applied to Poles. Hollywood and Network-TV (NBC) have a deep hatred for Anti-communist, Pro-American, Pro-Catholic Poland.
The recent movie “Katyn” shows the German Nazis and Soviets killing the educated Polish class in Poland in order to make Poland “intellectually inferior” and easier to rule. This was during the time Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia were collaborating with each other to destroy Poland as per their Molotov-Ribbentrop pact to destroy Poland together.
Polish jokes did not predate the 20th Century since it was introduced in America by left-wing bigots in Hollywood and TV networks like NBC-TV in the late 1960’s and 1970’s with anti-Polish “shows” such as “Laugh In”
Up until the 1960's the jokes about Polish people were basically Kielbasa jokes and Pierogi jokes.
According to the Polish American Guardian Society:
The Origin of "Polish jokes"/subhuman intelligence jokes about Polish people - in the US, came from NBC-TV & Hollywood
Right before NBC-TV INTRODUCED into the US Subhuman intelligence type Polish Jokes in the 1960s, NBC-TV boss George Schlatter said that WHATEVER ethnic group he puts into his "comedy" bits and is the target of degrading ethnic humor, the IMAGE OF THAT ETHNIC GROUP WILL BE DEGRADED IN THE EYES OF the millions of viewers who watch that show. Especially when its repeated over and over and over again.
After he launched shows such as "Laugh In", LO AND BEHOLD Subhuman intelligence Jokes about Polish people became "popular" with the American public. This is the POWER OF NATIONAL NETWORK TV AT ITS MOST MALICIOUS
When the Polish American Guardian Society in the 1970's surveyed parts of the United States that HAD NO Polish people, interestingly they said they had low opinions of Polish people. The surveyor then said HOW CAN YOU HAVE A LOW OPINION OF POLISH AMERICANS if YOU DO NOT KNOW ANY??
The surveyed respondent would then say "OH ITS BECAUSE I SEE THOSE POLISH JOKES ON TV!!!!!"
In so many words the surveyed person continued and said:
"Polish people can't be intelligent if the TV SHOWS ME THAT NEGATIVE IMAGE OF POLISH PEOPLE"
Thus the Subhuman intelligence joke about Polish people was given birth on American soil, hatched in the production rooms of the psychopathic anti-Polish bigots in the NBC/ Hollywood TV studios.
Although these anti-Polish slurs have declined since Polish Americans have spoken out against them, NBC-TV still tries to slip them in occasionally to keep conditioning their viewers to see Polish people as having inferior/subhuman intelligence.
NBC-TV's SNL had an anti-Polish slur on Dec 4, 2010 that was repeated again on January 22, 2011.
NBC-TV had Anti-Polish Bigot Seth Meyers say the anti-Polish slur.
Its sad to hear about that SNL slur against Polish people.
Seth Meyers was always a marginal "comedian", but I guess he and SNL feel desperate that they have to tell an occasional subhuman intelligence joke about Polish people.
Seth Meyer's anti-Polish joke slur is just further confirmation that there is an element of Anti-Polish Hatred at NBC-TV.
NBC-TV has pushing these slurs against Polish people for decades now. Mostly in the 60's and 70's before people complained about NBC's strange hatred of Polish people.
God NBC should give it a rest already, or at least anti-Polish bigot Seth Meyers and his fellow anti-Polish bigots at NBC-TV should just explain why they hate Polish people so much.
