ok never noticed it was in humour
my neigbour actually believed somone when they said an imigrant was given some car keys in a job center for his free new car
i can remember a leaftet when i was about 12 in the 60s it said FACT average white mans brain is 40% bigger than the black mans and showed a drawing with the black man looking closer to an ape in stature than the white man
what made it worse was the the teacher i asked next day wasnt sure how accurate a fact it was
