Now it’s time for me to play my race card. Pickled herring is popular in Poland too, and it’s also much better than the Swedish version. Shame on you.

Forgive my ignorance.
Eating jarred pickled herring is code for Jew, Swede, and Pole, but eating good pickled herring is only code for Pole.

All those Baltics Types look the same to me.
They’re all Soviet territory to me 
I usually chew gum lifting weights. Real obnoxious like, mouth hanging open, chomping (champing?) loudly, popping bubbles reverse bubbles. If I saw someone else doing that, I’d find it annoying.
What if dude is an obnoxious chewer?
People people, we have missed the most obvious comeback possible.
Next time some lady comes up to you and says to stop chewing that gum, you tell her “NRE, I have come here today to chew gum and kick ass”
Then look her dead in the eye and swallow your gum.

I once called a Hungarian guy a polack just to see what would happen. Predictably, it was hilarious and borderline violent. And absolutely worth it.

Yeah, just like China belongs to Japan. All hail Emperor Hirohito!

Well, Manchuria (don’t tell my family I’m in kahoots with the “devils” 
)
What does that mean?
The Chinese term for the Japanese during the invaders was 日本鬼子， which translates to Japanese Devils
- some veterns/uber patriots still call them that. Anti- Japanese WWII TV shows about the “war against Japan” are extremely popular, even among teens. Although, those same teens happily watch anime
@whang or @alex44938 could probably elaborate

I don’t know jack shit about history lol
Your grandparents haven’t at least mention a mild disdain for the Japanese?
Nope. I know China has had beef with Japan in the past because of something related to WWII but that’s literally about all I know. Grand dad died when I was young and Grandma had alzheimer’s afterwards
Got it
Watch it, that kind of talk will land you in a re-education camp

Well, the Swedish herring that I tried one time was kind of sweet and had some weird spices in it, I couldn’t even swallow it to be honest. My mom bought it because the Polish one (Matias brand) was sold out. Another time I had a German one, it wasn’t terrible but it was kind of mushy and not salty enough. Maybe it’s just because it’s what I’m used to, but Polish Matias herring (sledz) is the best by far.
Smoked herring is nice too, but it’s a totally different story.
Edit: I just looked it up and it seems that Matias is not actually a brand, but rather a style of salted herring.
Good thing this discussion happened on the internet and I’m a polite Swede.
We might’ve had a gym fight.
