I also heard that in Germany they say "Heute gestohlen, morgen in Polen" ("Stolen today, tomorrow in Poland") because Poles are always thought of as stealing things.
Apparently its a really common saying.

"Even if you wash a negro, you are just wasting your soap". Famous Greek saying.

"Lavorare come un negro" working like a nigger (slave, I suppose).
"Essere un ebreo" when someone is stingy, or saves up a lot of money yet living in poor conditions.

"Get your cotton picking fingers off..."

Mum and Nanna use to say it all the time, never knew it was referring to Negroes, back then.

"Inny minny miny mo catch a nigger by the toe..."

Use to use that one at school in the 80's, even the teachers. So glad Australia was behind the times, wished we stayed there.
