Stereotypes

Stereotypes Black people all have rhythm and are good at basketball Not a single blond in the world has any brains at all Englishmen have bad teeth and Mexicans are lazy And if you think the Dutch aren’t cheap, certainly you’re crazy All Chinese are bad drivers, and hairdressers are gay Consensus is that Irishmen get plastered every day Construction workers are all fat from eating too much dinner Korean people eat doggy meat trying to get thinner All athletes have large muscles in between their ears Italians run the Mafia; at least it so appears Jews don’t pay retail and they all have giant noses All teenagers are rebels, everyone supposes All the French are rude, and Poles aren’t very bright And Hawaiians hit their surfboards long into the night Asians all have high IQ’s, and Germans are efficient Nowhere is there a doctor whose judgment is deficient All Arabs support terror, and Latins make great lovers All Navahos snort firewater underneath their covers Every single homeless person’s on welfare ‘cause he’s needy And try to find a politician who isn’t mean and greedy All people who are fat have a tendency to be jolly And women are bad drivers; you can count on it by golly Lawyers are out to cheat you, as a rule of thumb But most of all, don’t you think that stereotypes are dumb

That was really funny. In the style of Don Rickles, I'm not prejudice, I make fun of everybody. :)
