Racial Stereotypes that Never Caught On

Asians cannot hold their liquor.
Indians have no pinkie toes. (Indian Indians, not American Indians; they have six toes per foot.)
The Dutch don’t make left hand turns.
Mexicans have really, really flat asses.
Jews don’t acknowledge the existence of the number 6.
Catholics can’t go into a deli without ordering mayonnaise on their corned beef.
Russians are all funny like Yakov Smirnoff. But not “ha ha” funny.
All Swedes are named either Sven or Enrique.
Most Englishmen are really women; most Englishwomen are really Dutch.
All Canadians are Rick Moranis.
Never trust a Turk to mustard your sandwich.
Hungarians smell like chocolate pudding.
Koreans? Gay.
Eskimos eat their young. (Yes, in pies.)
