It seems that making fun of Poland...just won't die here in the USA.
Even allegedly educated persons unthinkingly continue to do it.
But...one wonders how smart one really is...to do it in the belly of the beast...the state of Ohio...home to hundreds of thousands with Polish ancestry.
That didn't stop Gordon Gee, the current President of Ohio State University.
He put his boot to Poland's military...and firmly into his mouth...during a speech.
"When we had these 18 colleges all kind of floating around, they were kind of like PT Boats, they were shooting each other," Gee said. "It was kind of like the Polish army or something. I have no idea what it was."
Gee finally apologized after many Polish Americans called his remarks slanderous, smelling of bigotry and insulting.
