Mark Krikorian on ethnic jokes:

> In Armenia they tell Kurdish jokes, which were like our Polish jokes ”“ about dim-witted dullards. I would tell people that in America people (used to) tell Polish jokes, and they were amazed, because they saw Poles as tall, blond, sophisticated paragons of European-ness ”“ go figure. When Deukmejian was elected governor of California, I remember Carson told two “Armenian” jokes (one had something to do with a flying carpet), but no one laughed, because most of them had never heard of Armenians in the first place, and ethnic jokes are impossible without stereotypes.
