Stereotype jokes have got to be probably the least creative and tired kind of humor there is, a constant re-hashing of the same old cliches over and again from now until eternity. Italians eat lots of pasta? Check. Germans lack humor? Gotcha. Brazilians and football? Mhm. Oh, the Irish love potatoes do they? I never knew.

Yet still, they remain popular, we as humans apparently love to have our beliefs and categorizations confirmed and they make us happy. The internet has been experimenting with another angle on the theme lately, with people exploring the 'true meaning' behind national flags, and they do allow an element of creativity into proceedings! Scroll down to check them out for yourself, and let us know what you think in the comments!

This is so true. The first pizza, made for queen Margharita, was made with topings resembling the Italian flag. General Knowledge out.

This is INCREDIBLY offensive to the memory of the thousands of Northern Italians who fought and lost their lives fighting for the resistance. In my family we lost four brave men who were helping these Italian Partigiani who were hiding and fighting against the Nazis in the Dolomites during WWII. It saddens me greatly that the Northern Italians' struggles during WWII have not been included in the history books here in the west.

People are still born with genetic defects from those bombs. I guess since they aren't American it doesn't count

He means that it's okay to joke about some things and not others. Hundred of thousands dead in Japan = joke. Some Americans soldiers dead in the sun = heroes and utter respect. Conclusion: respect is a very subjective concept.

As an American living in Japan for more than 20 years, I couldn’t get it until I read the comments. I wondered if it somehow related to the tsunami in 2011. In Japan, people don’t forget the atomic bombings — there are ceremonies on the anniversaries every year — but at the same time, the bombs are NOT the first and only thing people think of when they hear Hiroshima and Nagasaki. If you want “impact zone”’ these days, it would be better as “potential impact zone of North Korean missiles”.

Tasteless. Like making fun of the Holocaust or the Twin Towers being attacked.

I’m not Japanese but have Japanese and Japanese Canadian friends and for some it’s still very much a part of them.

Random question - Why does Johann Zarco from MotoGP have the old Japanese flag on his helmet? Please answer if you know why.
