Note that the two statements are quite different. The guy you replied to was implying that all Nigerians are scammers. I, on the other hand, implied no such a thing and simply made a joke about a type of fraud commonly originating from Nigeria.

It's about as funny as a joke about how Americans will invade your country, or italians will murder your cousin.

Pointless jokes about silly stereotypes do not belong on forums where people try to discuss reasonably about things.

> about as funny as a joke about [..] Americans [..] or italians

Delivered properly, these can be hilarious.

I get the joke. But it's not funny. I've read the same joke about 1000 times on various forums. It's just a somewhat mean statement with no humour at all.
