I changed the ethnic groups because the original version of the joke refers to ethnic groups which no longer exist. Even though the joke is somewhat offensive to these groups, it does not call for people to run through ethnic neighborhoods beating up Greeks, Germans or French. Jew-baiting is something beyond ethnic jokes.
