The chart says it all.
The Irish are below the Cro-Magnon man, Blacks are below a Gibbons Monkey, the Jews, Arabs, Women, and Dutch are just above the Proboscis Monkey, Native American are descended from Tree Shrews and the Poles are just below a toaster with the White Northern European WASPS at the top.
To them we are all lower life forms.
Thought this could start a good discussion.
The racist, biased, self serving, self appointed elites who think "we the people" are to un-evolved to be allowed to make our own decisions painted a true picture of what they actually think of use taxpaying serfs think that they could just laugh it off.
It is not funny.
Got something to say?

Of course, maybe you're just trying to be troll-y and see who will take the bait, but I didn't see you use the /sarcasm font.

BTW, the former editor-in-chief of National Lampoon is PJ O'Rourke, founding member of the "Pants Down Republicans" and a regular contributor to the old American Spectator magazine, one of the great neo-conservative publications of the 70s and 80s.

Having seen enough of @TT's posts -- no I think the satire went over his head.
This looks like a pretty accurate "way you were supposed to see the world" from the late 70s/early 80s. My parents had a book called Gross Jokes with these same stereotypes. People were still pissed at the Japanese and Vietnamese because of wars and as far as I can tell, looked down on Poles for having had asshole neighboring countries in the WWII era.

At least someone gets it!
I enjoy a good redneck joke. One of my favorite movies is Blazing Saddles which offends every minority and uses cliches to slam preconceptions.
I could have never even conceived of something as offensive as the Lampoon's tree.
We all have our biases but that is so far below consideration it is inconceivable for anyone who is not an extremely bigoted elitist. It is just as bad as the muslim belief that women are property.
The artist is using parody to mock the belief system of white supremacists (as viewed by the artist). Parody like this occurs in almost every political cartoon you've ever seen. It's tripe when it's politically at odds with your beliefs. It's awesome when it's not.
If a right-wing publication or media property had the fortitude to call out the toxic wing of its political spectrum using this sort of parody, I'd cheer. I'd do the same if liberals also had the courage to take its more toxic groups out to the woodshed on occasion.
But neither will do that ever, because while we may not want these extremist lunatics as dinner guests, they're perfectly welcome as voters.
"Plus if the satirist did not think this way how did he come up with this garbage."
Yes, and if the authors of murder mystery novels never actually kill people, then how do they come up with their stories?
Holy shit! We must arrest all the murder mystery novelists!
Every time you post a political thread, you project as fact your beliefs about people who don't share your world view. You draw a picture (in words) of what you believe liberals think and want. The only difference between you and the National Lampoon artist above is a lack of self awareness that you're doing it.
That and enough rich irony to frost a wedding cake.
Do you understand that you made a complete fool of yourself, @TT? The chart is meant to mock people like you and @GammaNu, but it's assumed that you have enough cognitive ability to understand that it's satire. When you postulate that some ethnic group evolved from a toaster, it's most likely a joke!! Right? And when @GammaNu continually calls other TUSCL members a "porch monkeys" do you understand why it's so offensive? It's offensive because it implies that some ethnic groups have not evolved past the Gibbons monkey. Just like the evolutionary chart shows.
Are you honestly suggesting that the person who made this thinks there's a genealogical relationship between Polish people and toasters?
The more guns people have in America, the safer a country we are.
Homosexuality is a learned behavior and morally wrong.
Anti LGBT laws are actually preserving freedom of religions expression as opposed to discriminating against fellow Americans..
Illegal immigrants are a major source of crime and take jobs from citizens.
Healthcare should only be provided to the rich.
Expeditionary wars make us safer.
I could go on....
