Is it true that during WW2, Italian army tanks were fitted with five reverse gears? We've all heard the jokes, and some are actually funny. But regarding attitudes to other nationalities and cultures I agree with Marco (#55) that you take people as you find them, as they have absolutely nothing to do with what happened centuries ago, and possibly what may be happening now.
Last line of Marco's post contradicts this somewhat - I'm English and I don't want to fight anyone (unless there's five of us and only four doughnuts)
Forty years ago I had an Armenian friend who told jokes about the Kurds, and they were just the same as the jokes English told about the Irish. The humour didn't work very well, as none of us knew anything about Kurds, or Armenians for that matter.
