"The Day After the Day the Martians Came" is a short story by Frederik Pohl from Harlan Ellison's "Dangerous Visions", which shows how humans can (and will) laugh at (and hate) "any" minority group. It centers on a group of reporters in a bar, shortly after humans have made first contact with Martians, who are passing the time by retelling 'dumb Polack' jokes as 'dumb Martian' jokes.
