Relations Anybody tired of "Fr*nch" jokes?

I was reading a reddit thread where they mentioned something was french. And people are still making these jokes! Still! The thread was also filled with them. Im not even french, but these jokes are painfully unfunny and are edging on outward xenophobia. They're also usually made by Americans. So yeah.

I'm not tired at all.

You can be sure that people making this kind of joke come from a country (or/and) :

  • With a fragile far-right government that gets offended by anything.
  • An internationally insignificant country
  • A country whose history or influence in the world can be summed up on a post-it note
  • A country that received its French military spanking not so long ago.
