RE: Who is the butt of your jokes? (in reply to fevictor)
That's an interesting question fevictor. Here in the US, I don't think we single out any particular country because we are a melting pot of many nationalities. I hear jokes about Mexicans, African American's, Puerto Rican's, Polish, Americans, you name it. Anyone who lives here is game. We even joke about people who live in different states within the US. Texans, New Yorkers, Californians,. To take it even further, occupations as well. Attorney's, Doctors, Politicians. Everyone is the butt of jokes here.

Yeah in Germany you can exchange the East Frisian jokes 1:1 to the US Polish jokes. However Germany's Polish jokes go over 1:1 with the US's Hispanic jokes.
All depends on the social problems a country has

From Scotland, to be honest, it's been years since I've heard anyone here make a joke about different countries or races. They are a bit old and naff, like mother-in-law jokes.
(I told my neighbour your one about the guy hearing the voice telling him to go to Vegas.....and he totally cracked up. That was a great one!)
Myself, I like utterly stupid jokes, like...
Did you hear about the Hyena that swallowed an OxO cube? He quickly became a laughing stock...

I think it maybe has a lot to do with how many outsiders you have living in your country / city. Like Vancouver, Canada, or most major US cities. Lots of accents and different customs to learn and mock! I for one always love jokes that have to do with funny accents or mimicking others - like Italians and the way they talk. Its all in good fun!
What do you call a Mexican with two dicks? hose A and hose B (José and JosB)

Last one I heard had a kinda "Jerry Springer" theme...
A single-parent woman is at the Welfare Benefits Office. The Benefit's Officer asks, " Do you have any children?" The woman replies, "Aye....ten." "Oh, I see", says the Benefits Officer, "Can I have their names please?"
Woman says, "Yeah...it's Wayne, Wayne, Wayne, Wayne, Wayne, Wayne, Wayne, Wayne, Wayne and Wayne."
"So they're all called Wayne?", says the Benefits Officer..."Doesn't that make life a little confusing?"
"Nah", says the woman, "If anything it makes it easier, because when their dinner's ready, I just stick my head oot the back door and shout, 'Hey Wayne!...Yer dinner's on the table'."
"Yes, but what if you want to speak to one of them individually?", asks the Benefits Officer.

These are for those of you who like racial jokes:
How do you make an Italian shut-up? Tie his hands behind his back.
How do you blind a Chinaman? Put a windshield in front of him.
(sorry, this one cant be translated to English)
Unos policias en Galicia le preguntaron a un lugareno porque se quizo matar ahorcandose con una soga. El Gallego respondio que se estaba a cepillando los dientes y se fijo en el tubo de pasta de dientes. Confudidos, los policias le preguntaron que tenia que ver eso con el suicidio? El Gallego respondio: "es que decia Colgate"!!

A man lies on the beach all day and gets sun burnt, top to toe. He geos to the doctor and the doc gives him Viagra. 'Will this cure my sunburn, Doc?' No! but it should help keep the bed sheets off your legs :)

Ok, another one in Spanish, but this one is great!
Un Mexicano campesino, recien llegado a California, decide comprarse un refresco de una dispensora de gaseosas en un mall. Empieza a depositar sus monedas cuando se da cuenta que una pantallita digital le va indicando cuantos centavos le faltan por depositar. El campesino sigue depositando sus monedas y de pronto se queda mirando la pantallita algo confundido. Segun la dispensora, le hace falta 10 centavos por depositar, pero la pantallita lo muestra como "dime". El Mexicano mira a su alrededor y se acerca mas a la dispensora, algo timido y nervioso, y le dice en voz baja: "Coca Cola!"
