Nationality

Ethnic jokes exploit ethnic stereotypes. They are sometimes reagard as racist or offensive. However, we could find nationality and laugh if we don't tell lightly them to people concerned with, I think. I'll show an example. Here is the joke : "A sinking liner" “The captain urges the passengers to dive into the sea. He says to the American man, ‘you will be a hero if you do it.’ to the British man, ‘you will be a gentleman.’ to the German guy, ‘this is an order to jump.’ to the Italian man, ‘you will be loved by many women later.’ to the French man, ‘don't jump.’ and to the Japanese man, ‘everyone is jumping!’” There is nationality in each word. Americans want to be a hero, the British are always gentleman, Germans obey orders, Itarians love ladies, the French don't follow instructions, and Japanese want to behave the same as others. Of course, they are a part of much disposition. In addition to it, limited Japanese, modern, clean, earnest, a long time work, otaku, etc. Let's study ethnic stereotypes and chuckle ethnic jokes!
