These things seem to wax and wane. When I was young, jokes about people from New Jersey or Poland were quite common but I haven't heard either in a long time. I'm sure this is quite regional but I'm in the same region as I was when I was a child so it's interesting to see how much those have faded.

A long time ago I encountered a group of jokes based on a Poland stereotype (I haven't seen any in decades), where they would represent an 'unlucky' people.
My favorite was:
Q: "Who won the man-of-the-year award in Poland last year?"
A: "No one" :-(
